Gutted that Planning Inspectors today approved Aggregate Industries' controversial 100 acre quarry, #Straitgate #OtteryStMary overturning @DevonCC's refusal 😔. So much enviro harm and so much risk. How could this possibly be OK?

Did you know: there are 250,000 hectares of south facing COMMERCIAL roof space in the UK? This could provide approximately 50% of the UK’s electricity demand. (Source: BRE National Solar Centre). Add to that domestic roof space. No excuse to use best farmland. Use it for food!

The tiny proportion of ecosystems remaining intact show us what the planet was like before humans had a devastating impact. They reveal what we’ve lost, but also show us what we must protect and restore. theguardian.com/environment/…

If you have 3 minutes to spare and interested in why we should be all be working hard to retain mature tees rather than fell them, check out this brief summary: youtube.com/watch?v=rliBxsuv…

Putting the cubes into cubical brown rot!! Apart from the coolness of the cubes this is a wonderful example of how the heartwood of a tree (oak) can be completely decayed but the sapwood is intact, up until it gets felled! Wasn't involved in decision to fell if anyone wondered.

Coco-Cola produces 100 billion plastic bottles a year but has no plans to reduce its own use of plastic . It’s says 50% of its new plastic production will come from recycled bottles. Why not 100% ? bbc.co.uk/news/business-5017…

In the war on plastic is Coca-Cola friend or foe?

For many people, the Coca-Cola brand now stands for plastic pollution and childhood obesity.

Well, it took sitting in court until 7pm to get a result, but the verdict is guilty on both counts for the developer, Enzo's Homes, and its director, Fiorenzo Sauro. Great effort by Swansea City Council to prosecute. It is never easy and they did it. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-4933…

Enzo's Homes guilty of felling ancient redwood tree in Swansea

Both the firm and its director are convicted of cutting down a 200-year-old redwood tree.

Trees really are infrastructure in Mumbai. They are an integral part of street life, with the fabric of the community woven into their trunks, roots, and branches. It is just so refreshing to see such a creative and practical way of urban greening.

Dear councils, 97% of UK meadows are gone. So please: if you have wildflowers like ox-eye daisies on roadverges and in public spaces, don't spray them with weedkiller or over-mow them. Let's give pollinating insects like bees and butterflies a chance. 🐝
