"My husband, mum, sister, father and neighbours died of cancer. I have cancer in my head and a tumour in my spine.” A story that is harrowing to read but that makes it all the more important that the story gets told. How forever chemicals are destroying lives.

Liberal Democrats
@LibDemsJun 2
While other parties abandon environmentalism , Liberal Democrats remain committed to the fight. Our message is clear: if you care about protecting Britain’s nature, we’ll offer you a better deal than anyone else.
Quote from Tim Farron on a green grassy background which reads: Liberal Democrats are leading the way to protect Britain’s nature and green spaces. We have led the fight in Parliament to tackle the scandal of sewage being dumped in our lakes and rivers, fought for better protections for designated sites, and we are the only party backing our farmers to be given the support they need to maintain our precious landscapes across the country.

You won't hear it from the media, but the Liberal Democrats just had an incredible set of results. We held off Reform, won more councillors than the Greens and trounced the Conservatives Right cross the country people are backing us to deliver the real change they deserve. 🔶

Barack Obama
@BarackObamaFeb 12
Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

No matter where you live, everyone deserves to experience the beauty of nature. By reintroducing beavers, white storks and more, we’re bringing wildlife back into life across London. standard.co.uk/comment/sadiq…

Sadiq Khan: I want to rewild London. First stop — storks in Dagenham (yes, really)

White storks are coming back to London for the first time in 600 years

So ⁦@Keir_Starmer⁩ tells Ed Miliband: ‘I hate tree huggers - I'm not interested in hope & change’ . Well Keir there a lot of unhappy ‘tree huggers’ now and a lot more people who voted for ‘hope and change’ who are beginning to wonder what’s going on independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

‘I hate tree huggers’: How Starmer apparently exploded over Labour’s green policy

Not climate related, but a little side hustle as Wellbeing Facilitator on a film called CONTACT HOURS last week. Kudos to the producers Headrush and Blend Films for being pioneers in mentally healthy film production 🙌🏼

Got trolled for my posy in a thimble. Apparently it’s old lady-ish & it’s not cool to like tiny things. Maybe, but neither is squashing someone’s joy on the internet & my posies don’t make people feel rubbish 👀. Here’s to doing what you love, even/especially if it’s a bit dorky:

Ever thought "But my action won't make a difference" when thinking about climate disruption? Your individual action for the environment does make a difference, but not necessarily how you might expect... Link below to my latest article. #ClimateActionNow sharonburrell.co.uk/articles…
