Great point! We should just die of climate change that is so much more cost effective 😄
Sorry, there is no way the Green New Deal pays for itself.

On the decision to grant planning approval for continued sand extraction on Lough Neagh @JamesAOrr of @foe_ni which went to court to prevent it, says it's a "major blow to environmental integrity" of lough and to public confidence in the planning system

A terrible decision to continue this destructive practice in Lough Neagh. If Lough Neagh, one of Northern Ireland’s most protected sites, isn’t safe, where is? bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ire…

We believe that with the right government policy and funding, our seas can be brought back from the brink. We can have healthy, thriving seas that are good for our coastal communities and marine life. 🐟⛵🐚🐬🌊 If you share our vision, please share this video 👇

Thank you for standing with us. All our activists were freed on a police bond but asked to report back tomorrow (Monday). They are in good health and more determined than ever to fight for our planet. The struggle continues #FightClimateInjustice #SaveBugomaForest

AMAZING TURNOUT IN BELFAST! Are you listening @edwinpootsmla? We joined the @fffnireland protest today to demand a @climateactni from the @niassembly. Show us what democracy looks like. Listen to the science and act on it! We will not stop striking until we are done.

write to your reps ✍️ - one of the best ways to show Stormont this matters to you is to send them an email. Tell them why you want a #ClimateAct! ✊
