Very pleased to hear that my work at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Greenwich which documents the I Wish project with patients, parents and staff, has been labelled.
We will celebrate the installation once it’s safe to.
Thank you for all you do @LG_NHS.

On the same day as approving new oil and gas fields....
The Labour Government need to take the climate crisis seriously and stop selling the rest of us down the (polluted) river.

Well done Green-led Lambeth Council!
I remember visiting here with @pete556 in 2021(?) when I was @TheGreenParty co-leader and he was a local Green councillor campaigning to save the estate.
Now he's Housing Cabinet member and he followed through and saved it 👏 Bravo, Pete!
Residents fought for years to save the Cressingham Gardens and Central Hill estates, and now, thanks to them, they're saved from demolition. Now, Lambeth Council can focus on bringing those homes back into use.
ALT Text based on the Guardian's reporting that says "Greens save two 1960s London housing estates from demolition after decade-long battle." A quote reads “Residents of Cressingham Gardens and the Central Hill estate have campaigned tirelessly for their homes to be saved.”
“This is, in general, a hard subject to write about, because you know you’re going to be attacked for certain things long before you even write one word. So I think the question is, does that make you timid or does that make you more bold?”

The breakdown of our ecosystems is a national security threat. We must put restoring nature at the heart of government decision-making.
So I'm delighted that @TheGreenParty members backed my conference motion on the need for a Nature, Biodiversity and Security Act.

Labour just don't get it. They don't get how scared people are with extreme weather becoming our new normal.
We need voices in parliament that will force them to take wildfires seriously, not quietly shirk responsibility.
ALT revealed: government quietly dropped plan to prepare England for wildfires.
Kelvin Shewry of Creekside Educational Trust, said the waterway had been ignored or “treated as a constraint to be managed” . He called for “biodiversity enhancement, habitat creation and river restoration, not simply the mitigation of harm”. 👏🏽

I'll be submitting comments about the lack of information around air quality on Silvertown Tunnel approach roads. I have already asked TfL why little reference, if at all, to monitoring of PM 2.5 particles which are the *most* important health issue here @Royal_Greenwich @WHO
Next London Plan consultation closes 5pm Thurs 15 October | We wrote to @MayorofLondon complaining about his #AirQuality Policy #GHR10 in #NextLondonPlan - worse than 2011 version! @metecoban92 replied politely. Submit your complaints here: consult.london.gov.uk/london…
We need solar power everywhere. Without delay.

Meta’s disempowerment of women: “any mention of civil rights, feminism or social reform [topics that are central to Woolf’s work] are usually classified as ‘social topics’ by our automatic system” and are filtered out.

Makes absolute sense. 🙏🏾

Here's what we're asking for:
✅ Cancel poor value road schemes
✅ Invest in public transport and active travel
✅ Prioritise road safety
✅ Make buses and rail more affordable for all

I've long thought that nature decline cannot be viewed solely as an environmental issue. Increasingly it's a threat to our national security.
In this week's EDP, I've written about my work in Parliament to get a crucial report published and for the Government to finally treat the risk of ecosystem collapse with the seriousness it deserves.

Good to see engineers at the north lift of Woolwich foot tunnel at last! Let’s hope any future S106 contributions from developers will go towards effective long term maintenance or even lift replacement for this crucial active travel link. #WoolwichFootTunnel
A solution: no random pavement parking for dockless bikes and provide for them a bigger percentage of what is currently car parking space. The move to cycling more is welcome.

Trump fire sale!
Indigenous people have stewarded these sacred lands for centuries. Yet Trump disbanded the five-Tribe body that spent years shaping their protections. They were not informed about the decision to reduce the monuments' boundaries. action.eko.org/a/us-congress…
The UK government is not being serious about the measures required to prevent climate catastrophe or the measures required to survive it.
Is Burnham trying to appease Trump? Or Reform? What other reason is there for these North Sea oil plans? theguardian.com/commentisfre…
