In Germany and other countries we have Govts targeting and arresting peaceful climate protests lest they cause any traffic disruption Yet the people who cause this traffic disruption are giving billions in subsidies to cause even more destruction next y xitter.cf/DaveThroup/status/1661…

What most of the media won’t tell you about the Just Stop Oil action at the Chelsea Flower show was a) it wasn’t paint, it was dyed corn starch, and b) the garden was sponsored by subsidiary of one of the largest investors of fossil fuels in the world
💀 One of these images shows an environmental disaster from a UK fossil fuel site. Our government wants to license 100 more. 🟠 The other shows biodegradable cornstarch dyed with vegan food colouring in a temporary garden. Which one are you going to get upset about today?

🚷 Just Stop Oil supporters defy blanket ban and march again in London 🦺 41 people are marching at Charing Cross to demand the government drop new oil and gas licenses. 🚔 Yesterday police issued a Section 12, banning protests in any London road. Ban new fossil fuels instead.

80% of EU habitats are in bad shape. To help nature recover, the EU is working on a Nature Restoration law, but conservative forces are trying to get it off the table. Let’s massively call on EU leaders to pass a strong law and #BringBackNature. Sign & RT fb.avaaz.org/campaign/en/nat…

"Research shows that 66 per cent of ground-nesting birds are in decline in the UK, compared with 31 per cent of other species, and loose dogs are one of the biggest causes of disturbance." So please keep your dogs on leads to stop the decline of birds. bbowt.org.uk/news/dog-walkin…

It's not every day a Tory MP sets out a compelling and inspiring vision of the future. But here is Lord Peter Cruddas doing just that... (the opening 30 seconds or so anyway)...
Lord Peter Cruddas, "If Labour wins they will reduce the voting age, abolish voter ID, and introduce Proportional Representation making it impossible for the Conservative party to win an outright majority in the future." Conservative Democratic Organisation

And this is why we are doing #NoMowMay in @CityWestminster this year - for the first time ever 🌸🌼🐝🦋 westminster.gov.uk/news/west…
Dear councils, 97% of UK meadows are gone. So 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 🐝

Do you suppose any of them ever stop and think “You know what? We look utterly ludicrous. Perhaps we should jack this pantomime nonsense in, and dedicate our family’s stolen wealth to helping the destitute”?

The millions in rich countries flying to their latest far flung destination without any form of guilt at all Should know that they are killing Africa now xitter.cf/AbiluTangwa/status/165…
Just lost all my crops due to prolonged dryness after planting, which accelerated the proliferation of fall armyworm. Climate change is real and it's affecting us farmers. We must take action to mitigate its effects and protect our livelihoods. #ClimateChange #Farmers.
