This matters enormously. As well as ocean-dwelling creatures, all life on land is utterly dependent on a healthy ocean.

When even one of the architects of the Soil Association’s salmon standards says he’s ashamed of them, the game’s up. I’ve co-signed a letter urging the Soil Association to sever its ties with the salmon industry.

🚨 NEW POLL! Yet another poll has the Scottish Greens overtaking Reform, Labour and the Tories. We would become the second largest party in the Scottish Parliament! On May 7th, let's demand better. Vote Scottish Greens. 💚

The hunting ban came into force 21 years ago, but foxes are still being chased and killed. Loopholes continue to be exploited, and wildlife is paying the price. Now is the time to speak up. Respond to the public consultation on hunting laws: https://leagueacs.co.uk/W8Bsg

All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..

So much of this could have been prevented if the men in the Epstein files had been prosecuted instead of protected.

Trump is warning of widespread war crimes against Iran - and even appears to be threatening the use of what could be nuclear weapons. An incredibly dangerous moment for the whole world. Our government must immediately withdraw all access to UK bases for any US attacks on Iran.

Please mow less this Spring to help the bees! 🐝 Lawn weeds (esp dandelions) are one of the few food sources bees can rely on in early spring to stay alive. A struggle to find enough nectar now, could have devastating effects on flowers, fruit & veg that rely heavily on pollination.

Be more devoted than you ever have to your creativity, and definitely don't outsource it.

If things are unlikely to go back to where they were and the current direction is disastrous then it is more important than ever to know where we want to go. Radical imagination time. And definitely time to hone your art, your craft, your imagination, and your humanity.

Did BBC radio 4 #Today programme really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today

This solution is seldom talked about in politics, even by the Green Party - unless I've missed it @elliechowns.bsky.social

Pure young stars 👇

Drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea won't lower bills, it won't make us more energy independent and it won't insulate us from price shocks. A Labour backslide on this would be a huge betrayal. Double down on renewables. Insulate every home. Lower bills, permanently.

And louder for those at the back: NO.

‘Swifts spark joy!’ Why these beautiful birds need our help – and 10 ways to give it

Forgive me while I make ONE political post here I have officially joined The Green Party of England & Wales as a member We're living in a very scary world right now & if my £5 a month can help make a difference, that's not a lot to ask I think Happy to talk more in DM's, but back to gaming stuff!

THIS perfectly describes most of today’s media bias and failure!

If a drink was (a) too expensive (b) running out and (c) poisoning you, buying a more straws to drink it through would hardly be a good idea... It's time to get off oil and gas, boost renewables and help people insulate their homes and use public transport to cut energy waste

We don't have a housing shortage crisis - we have a housing inequality shortage.

This is very sensible and the UK should be recommending this now to ease the shock. But the government won't.

Early food for early bees

Ofsted: source of so much stress for teachers, pupils, and parents. We need ways of assessing learning that encourage students, and support learning approaches that reflect the times we live in.

is a boon & also insects & being less tidy helps, allowing some Bramble 2 ramble, this being such a favoured place in which to nest. Letting seed heads remain through winter & lawns grow with no chemicals. Let your garden become a haven while reducing risk of disease. Thank you from the birds🙏

"This is fixable. We just haven’t got people who care enough about other people to make the changes." Such a wonderful interview with Hannah Spencer. Really captures both my brilliant friend and colleague. 👇🏼 www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Great weekend campaigning with Shetland Greens for the Hollywood elections on the 7th of May. We are gaining one new member every single day at the moment. Many voters are switching to the Greens and it’s clear that we’re building a strong movement for the future in Shetland.

The bias means we have to do it ourselves and the evidence is people vote for the party their neighbours vote for. So even if like me you can't get formally involved in the party's work, make a point of telling people you support the Green Party. Make voting Green normal as well as hope. 💚

Countries across Europe have already banned these awful devices, it's time for Scotland to do the same.

Last year we tried to ban electric shock collars, but were defeated by the SNP, Tories and Lib Dems. These are cruel devices that cause dogs pain and fear. They're already banned in countries across Europe and the world. Scottish Greens elected this year will work towards a ban.

I often use this quote, from Aldo Leopold's, A Sand County Almanac, publish posthumously, in 1949. It is crushing to fight so hard for something, and to be almost totally ignored, even though you're repeating verifiable facts.

6. We should ALL expect that our leaders, who are supposed to learn much more about the need/context for change than most of us will know, will be responsible enough to make the right decisions even when unpopular. And NOT do the opposite, which is rage-farm populist lies about change to get votes.

🎉 The 3rd Parliamentary Repair Café was a huge success. 100 repair cafes met 75+ MPs including the Secretary of State for the Environment and Minister for Circular Economy to make the case for a right to repair.

Imagine how swift the complete transition could be if we stopped subsidising oil & gas and invested all that money in renewables. Imagine being free of oil instability; imagine a govt uncorrupted by oil donors & lobbyists; imagine reduced emissions; imagine hope for our children.. @greenparty.org.uk
