Some people still think it's just steam coming out of incinerator chimneys...

East Rd Estate biodiversity project! Driven by two local residents, with whom it's a joy to work. Now look -
Bulbs bursting out, meadow greening up. Next stage - tree planting in March, bee border planting April! @rosybeeplants @DaveGoulson @CamCanopyProj

The scam of 'net zero by 2050' demonstrated again:
1) Bristol airport gets the go ahead for expansion.
2) Govt approves development of Abigail Oil field in the N.Sea.
Just turn up the 'Negative emission' dial & all is rosy - i.e. we pass our mitigation burden on to our children.

Revealed: Three British water companies pay NO tax.
@neilcraven1
'What we have with these companies is smoke and mirrors. They have made off with £72billion and we've ended up with rivers full of sewage. They are out of control.'

New term introduced here: to "dewater" a region, as in "developers' business model dewaters the area it builds on". But they forget to mention if you dewater an area you de-species it too - and ultimately that will include humans #ecocide cambridgeindependent.co.uk/n…

If, as @SouthCambs says, it has an adequate 5-year land supply for housing, why is the council still granting planning permissions in the open countryside outside village boundaries?

We're delighted to have @jamesboycebooks, author of Imperial Mud, in conversation with Friends of the River Cam (@cam_friends) later this month.

On Inequality, mental health, art and nature:
“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river.
We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.”

The report also found that $654 million of the $1 billion cost for this plant came from public money. Why are we paying to accelerate the #ClimateCrisis, and to make ourselves poorer in the long run?

Shell's flagship carbon capture plant is actually a net producer of CO2, say @Global_Witness.
Shell say it is a "thriving example" of carbon capture technology, and in a way that's true - we need serious efforts for #ZeroCarbon, not greenwashing. globalwitness.org/en/campaig…

@thetimes @bwebster135 @TonyJuniper @NaturalEngland @gillplimmer1 @Feargal_Sharkey @MonicaHone This is so disturbing. South Cambs Planning Committee meets to approve Northstowe Phases 3A & 3B on Friday - NO mention in reports of environmental impacts on River Cam & tributaries.
Greater Cambridge Planning officers and @SCLibDems have decided that another 5,000 houses at Northstowe must be approved now no matter what. To accomplish this, officers have excluded any mention of substantive environmental harms from the officer's report.scambs.moderngov.co.uk/ieLis…

Norfolk county council think it’s fine to wreck the Wensum Valley with a road. Some harms can’t be mitigated!
Represented in these photos:
🏞The River Wensum.
🦇The heavily protected Barbastelle Bat.
🦉Valuable wildlife rich woodlands.
🌳Ancient trees.
All under threat!

Shocked to read report by @bwebster135 that polluter Anglian Water who host and manage the world famous River Cam are excluded from this analysis because the records were either “vacuous or withheld”. Britain’s rivers ruined by thousands of sewage spills

Ghettos, #Cambridge ghettos, enabled by councils in hoc with developers. Thanks for this brutal analysis of the cliques conspiring to wreck a city @Sam_in_Cam. #savehoneyhill sam4qe.com/its-growth-which-…

4 in 5 Britons back rewilding, says this new research. Yet here in Cambridgeshire, an unrelenting programme of concreting over the land continues. Time for local politicians to listen to what communities want, not what developers want? #democracy #OxCamArc rewildingbritain.org.uk/news…
