32% of all food and soft drink advertising is spent promoting unhealthy products - compared to just 1% on fruit and vegetables. Our #BrokenPlate2022 report shows action is needed to address this imbalance given the influence on consumer choices. Link: ➡️ bit.ly/3aQDiJd

Today, just one day after celebrating the wonders of peat on International #BogDay, we’re frustrated that the UK Government has still not shared its plans for a ban on the sale of bagged peat compost. (1/4)
On the left hand side are bags of peat-based compost. On the right is a beautiful peatlands landscape. The text read "This is destroying this" - bags of peat-based compost are destroying our peatlands.

Did you know that #LitterPicking can also prevent littering? People are less likely to #litter in places with fewer pieces of rubbish compared to those with more. By litter-picking your actions can influence the behaviour of those around you!
