Bring It north London is back!💪♻️
We’ve been out chatting to local businesses who are cutting waste and championing reusables, from fishmongers to refill shops and independent grocers.
Their stories show what’s possible when we ditch single‑use plastics and bring bottles, tote bags, reusable containers and cups.
Meet the businesses leading the Bring It movement 👇

New Government Consultation: The government is seeking views on proposals to boost energy efficiency in privately rented homes across England & Wales.
Key proposals include:
🔹Flexible upgrades – Start with fabric improvements such as loft insulation, cavity wall & double glazing, then consider solar panels & batteries.
🔹Cost cap and support – £15K maximum spending per property, with grants available
🔹Affordability exemptions – A £10K cap for properties in lower rent areas or lower council tax bands
🔹Timeline – all rental properties must meet a minimum EPC C by 2030, with homes already rated A-C remaining compliant until their EPC expires.
Have your say & help shape a greener rental market! energygovuk.citizenspace.com…

Every penny wasted on nuclear, is a penny that could be spent building renewables.
The future of energy isn't slow or expensive - it's clean, affordable, and ready to go.
Let's start investing where it counts.
#ClimateAction #renewableenergy #GreenTransition
ALT Nuclear is not the way to a clean energy future. Renewables... Get build faster Bring down bills Slash emissions Solar and wind are clean, cheap, and popular. Let's get on with building them. For more information, visit wearepossible.org/lowcostcarbon

The government are currently consulting on their plans to tax private jets.
We must call on them to increase the tax on private jets NOW, which is the only way to reduce emissions to protect the climate and fund public services.
