Such an important event. Glad you were both there!
Today Rachael and Hannah attended the @HighlandCarers Connecting Carers Conference and Showcase✨ The staff & speakers were absolutely brilliant, highlighting the issues young carers face in Highland, relevant policies and funded respite opportunities #Highlandcarersconference

We can save money (and much else besides) by turning down the thermostat. Turning down from 22 to 18 degrees - a perfectly healthy temperature (just add a jumper!) - can save over £500 per year. theconversation.com/energy-b…
Great news! Almost 200 nations have voted to regulate the global trade in shark fins. The vote adds 60 threatened shark species to the list of creatures protected under CITIES – the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. oceanographicmagazine.com/ne….
New study on the UK's greenest city centres in terms of tree cover. A bit grim that Scotland's cities are way down the list, with Glasgow at the very bottom theconversation.com/we-found…

We're creating a new National Park in Scotland. But what should its role be and how should we select its location?
⏰ You have until Wednesday to have your say 👇

ALT Scotland's next national park? Image is a map with 7 possible options on it - Glen Affric, Wester Ross, Harris, Coastal & Marine (off the west coast), Ben Nevis, Glen Coe & Black Mount, Cheviots & Borders, and Galloway.
Huge thanks to @HighlandCouncil elected members for voting to greatly reduce cars in Academy Street. Businesses are worried, but surely a more enjoyable, unpolluted town centre encourages people to spend more time there? And anyway, reducing pollution is not negotiable. End of.

This reaction is simply inaccurate. Evidence from across the globe shows removing cars from city centres means pedestrians spend more time there. And reducing pollution is not negotiable. It's a change but a good one - for businesses too. Give it a chance! inverness-courier.co.uk/news…
Tense moments in Falcon Square in Inverness this morning waiting for the Supreme Court ruling before the diappointment. Not unexpected, but still sad and wearying.

If there's one thing you do this week, make it this. How we farm has the potential to regenerate or continue to decimate the rest of the living world - and we can make it work SO much better for farmers and crofters too! And for the quality and localness of the food we produce.
We have a bold Vision for Agriculture that aims to transform how we support farming and food production in Scotland.
The consultation for our new Agriculture Bill is open until Monday 5 December.
Let us know your thoughts➡️bit.ly/3CaihCW
ALT To the left on a white background in blue are the words Agri Bill consultation - closes 5 Dec. To the right is a photograph of a blue tractor ploughing a field with hills in the background and gulls following behind.
So great that this conversation is finally up and running #greensingovernment

I know the bbc news isn't the most enlightening, impartial or informative of media, but 15 minutes of football as the main headline? Ahead of a devastating earthquake in Indonesia? Have we gone completely mad??
Massive best of luck. Everything crossed!!
