According to X, formally Twitter, formally talking to your mates in the pub or your family around the table, we have 1,568 followers. With people leaving the platform in their droves, I just wondered how many of you are still out there.
I would like to reassure you all, in this year 2025 and 24 hours into the new Trump administration, that we are still committed to continue to convince our communities, whether virtual or real-world, that Climate Change, the inconvenient truth, is with us and is not going away. I encourage you all to do the same.

Let it sink in that we live in a time when people feel they need to attend a protest with a placard reading 'Science is Actually Useful'. Caught me off guard that one for a moment.
On this day in 1970, 20 million Americansโ10% of the population at the timeโtook to the streets to demand change.
With our political systems unable to shake the grip of Big Oil & Big Ag lobbyists, maybe it'll take people power to secure our future?

Heat pumps are 'political' now? What nonsense. Culture war cobblers. I love my heat pump. My heat pump is only 'political' if you'd rather have sold me a gas boiler. Which I wouldn't have wanted anyway just for the record. theguardian.com/media/2025/aโฆ

Happy St George's Day.
A reminder that half of England is owned by less than 1% of the population. Some of these aristocratic landowners have inherited land since the Norman Conquest.
England needs land reform and a strong Community Right to Buy!

One of my happiest places on Earth.
Twenty years ago, a nature-depleted fieldโ
now a haven for wildflowers, birds, butterfliesโฆ the gentle, humming miracle of life.
Restoration takes time, care, and a quiet apprenticeship to wild wisdom.
Happy Earth Day!

Maybe an Elephant in front ?
Every elephant we rescue, every orphan we raise, and every wild life we safeguard depends on one thing: a habitat to call home.
This Earth Day, weโre celebrating the wild spaces that sustain Kenyaโs wildlife โ from the open plains of Tsavo to the lush forests of Kibwezi and the Mau. These ecosystems are vital not just for elephants, rhinos, and giraffes, but for biodiversity, climate stability, and local communities.
Through habitat protection, anti-poaching patrols, water boreholes, reforestation, and community outreach, weโre protecting these landscapes from mounting threats. But we donโt do this alone โ your support is what makes this work possible.
By standing with us, you help protect the earth that gives life to so many.

A supporter has been in touch havinv witnessed a very definite RED KITE flying over Peggs/Hurts Hall, Benhall/Saxmundham area.
Sadly they were driving at the time so unable to get a photo but this shows they are nearby, so please keep your eyes peeled and try to get a photo if you spot them.
Red Kites were once on the brink of extinction from the UK.
It would be good to make a note of all rare and unusual wildlife in the area that could be potentially be displaced by these projects. ๐ฆ

What climate crisis!
Burning the hills so a few can shoot grouse. Forget banning wood burning stoves @JimFairlieLogie ban this!

So sad. Every inshore plankton sample I collect contains microplastic pollution. Yesterday's sample was no exception. The body of this dinoflagellate is ~ 50 ยตm diameter (0.05 mm). The plastic microfibre is ~ 10 ยตm diameter. (A human hair is ~ 70 ยตm.) The shocking scale of it. @Zeiss_micro
