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 Americansโ€”10% of the population at the timeโ€”took 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? earthday.org/history/

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/aโ€ฆ

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! whoownsengland.org/

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

We are disappointed that the Secretary of State has approved the relocation of the Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant, despite the Planning Inspectorsโ€™ clear recommendation to refuse the application.

๐Ÿฆ…๐Ÿฆ… 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. ๐Ÿฆ…๐Ÿฆ… #offshore4sure #greatbritishgridupgrade #stopnationalgreed #thisisnotgreenenergy #stopnationalgrid #suffolk #stopspr #greenenergydoneright #seascampaignsuffolk #heritagecoastnotenergycoast #saveourvillages #seascampaign โ€“ at Saxmundham, England

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
