A belated #oneminutewonder from the last #MKGN: Jahan is after your tales. They create resilient narratives for their customers to protect them from all manner of disruption and looking for real stories of issues they're planning to help customers with. in.orbitapp.io/community/h9j…

Reassured to read @Dahnoun_'s report on this ten-year #RSPB study in #the_ecologist - it details how much nature-friendly farming is needed to recover our depleted farmland bird populations 🌾🌾🌾 theecologist.org/2023/jan/06…

Birds bounce back on restored farmland

Bird populations bounce back when farmers devote 10 per cent of their land to nature-friendly measures, a new study finds.

To safeguard our children’s futures, we all need to shift our diets in a #PlantBased direction, and school meals are a powerful way to do this 🍽️ independent.co.uk/voices/veg…

Opinion: If we care about our children’s future, all school dinners should be vegan

Schools often don’t realise this, but they have legal obligations in relation to their vegan students

📘 I've begun reading #TheClimateBook by @GretaThunberg, with chapters contributed by some great minds from science, literature, media and social causes. Highly recommended! theecologist.org/2023/jan/03…

Within the climate emergency

The Climate Book, created by Greta Thunberg and published by Allen Lane, is a comprehensive snapshot of the current climate movement.

🗳️ Young people are politically engaged - but this does not translate to voting. @UnlockDemocracy asks what can be done about it? unlockdemocracy.org.uk/blog1…

The youth aren’t politically disengaged, they’re electorally disenfranchised — Unlock Democracy

The youth are, contrary to many common assertions, not the army of politically disengaged, lazy, self-indulgent TikTokers that many would paint us as.

Despite the government’s insistence that their #EnvironmentAct targets are “ambitious” and will drive action towards tackling #ClimateChange in the UK, many don’t seem to agree 👇 bigissue.com/news/environmen…

The Environment Act targets have been published. So what do they really mean?

After months of delay, the Environment Act targets have been published, but critics say they are vague and unambitious.

The #climate and #biodiversity crises demand concerted action - why were neither mentioned in Rishi Sunak's speech? thecanary.co/uk/analysis/202…

Rishi Sunak ignores environment in speech as UK breaks another climate record

It's unlikely the UK will be leading the pack when it comes to providing the concerted action the climate and biodiversity crises demand.
