Currently sat on a delayed 8hr train from the Scottish highlands to Bristol. Flying would have been a lot cheaper and quicker - but with the environmental cost…. Well here I am, sat on a train. It makes me so angry that we all try are hardest to make small differences every day. Something they’ve encouraged us to do, saying it’s our responsibility to change… whilst they’re approving new oil and gas mining licenses in the North Sea. No words. Anyone else feeling desperate - like this could be the final straw?

Check your local area or favourite holiday spot to see how bad it was. 💩

We're joining the #DontVisitFaroe movement until the Faroese government puts an end to the cruel whale and dolphin hunts once and for all. It’s time to expose the Faroe Islands for the murderous truth hidden behind their deceptively peaceful vistas. Join me at only.one/faroeislands @dontvisitfaroe

Sadly we have to report that there has been another sickening massacre of pilot whales in the Faroe Islands.
80-100 of these gentle dolphins were butchered today in the 6th Faroe grindadráp (hunt) of 2023. This takes the total cetaceans slaughtered in the archipelago this year to roughly 650.
We've been calling for @Tinganes to be excluded from the @IslandGamesAsso which started yesterday in @Guernsey_2023, UK. The international community must take a stand against this unacceptable torture of EU/UK protected animals.

Our members have started receiving letters from management, threatening a 50 % salary deduction over 7 weeks for participating in a lawful marking and assessment boycott. Entirely disproportionate intimidation and bullying amidst an ongoing Cost of Living Crisis. Shameful.

Microplastics pollute every inshore plankton sample I collect. There are many new, modern wool fabrics with similar benefits to manmade materials. As your old plastic clothing wears out why not make a New Year's resolution to replace it with natural fibres. @zeiss_micro

This week the UK Government quietly removed ‘sexual and reproductive health and rights’ and ‘bodily autonomy’ from an international statement on human rights. #abortionrights are in trouble

Syrians. It's 15 Syrians who have been served with a removal notice that they'll be sent away to Rwanda on 14 June.
We cannot stand for this barbarism. Syrians refugees, ALL refugees are welcome here.
