If you are 15 it is more than 30%
If you are 30 it is more than 50%
If you are 85, it is more than 90%

The UK Parliament has declared an “environment and #ClimateEmergency”. Now we must act on it. It means:
No 3rd Runway at Heathrow
No fracking
Leave fossils in the ground
Retiring fossil fuel based infrastructure
Encouraging a shift to a plant-based diet
An end to economic growth
