Every time I see a before/after picture like this, I think even the “before” is better than what we have for most school streets in Seattle.

🦇It was #InternationalDayOfForests on Saturday and to celebrate our wonderful woodlands we want to highlight the work we are doing in Wales on the Wales Woodland Wonders project: www.bats.org.uk/our-work/in-... .

We're wrapping up the Winter planting season. Thank you to all the volunteers who took part! The song is the still unreleased ‘watermelon skies’ by BIN RICH, fellow tree musketeers & creatures of the concrete forest! Made from the samples of our very own Hackney parakeets & morning marsh afterglows.

Rewilding relies on collaboration, so how do we make this happen? #WorldRewildingDay

Just in case you need some good news today: researchers at U of W have figured out how to turn plastic waste into acetic acid (primary ingredient in vinegar) using the sun. This has the potential to really help us reduce plastic waste. uwaterloo.ca/news/media/w...

🦈 Sharks are far more social than we once thought, using their networks to learn, avoid danger & gain skills, new research shows. We still have so much to learn about these threatened creatures. Protecting them is absolutely critical! oceanographicmagazine.com/news/sharks-...

Compare & Contrast: “A department which shapes China’s economic strategy said the country should accelerate its renewable energy transition” “The White ⁠House said the disruption was a reason for countries to increase production of fossil fuels, not replace them” www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Most of the media reflects neither reality nor public opinion. It reflects the views and demands of those who own it: the Oligarch Class. They employ editors and journalists to channel their demands and sell their fictions. Hence the endless attacks on net zero. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

One person tested had PFAS levels in their blood more than 200 times above the level established in the US as 'potential for adverse health effects'. Why is neither the alleged polluter or the EA bio-monitoring to find out how people's health may be affected? share.google/2PS50B8KHiuV...

BREAKING: The blackout in Spain and Portugal in April 2025 did NOT happen because of renewables. The final ENTSO-E report on last year's Iberian blackout is out — and it's essential reading for anyone working on the energy transition. www.entsoe.eu/news/2026/03...

Abraham Lincoln associated democracy with “government of the people, by the people, for the people”. Possibilities are subverted as corporations and super-rich buy political parties and legislators Yet no govt wants to ban political donations which buy influence/power for the super-rich.

This is shocking. Our rivers are already under immense pressure, and this rubbish dump sits just metres from the River Roding. Regulators and local councils must act immediately to safeguard this precious river. news.sky.com/story/this-s...

There is a clear pattern of Steve Reed looking people in the eye and making promises that he completely bulldozed over months later. Journalists- This needs more attention. Residents- We need to let our collective anger unite us in action. ✊

GlaxoSmithKline is quietly receiving BILLIONS in tax breaks based on broken promises. I’ve just signed this huge invoice from the British public, asking for the £3.4 billion back, add your name here: 38d.gs/rahh

There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy.

This is what many of us have been saying. Part 3 of the Planning & Infrastructure Bill is based on a myth: that we don't have enough homes because wildlife and green spaces are protected. It will solve nothing, and inflict terrible harm on our remaining ecosystems www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

📢Pick up recycling receptacles at Hackney Service Centre, 1 Hillman Street, E8 1DY between 10am-2pm this Friday 14th November♻️#HackneyRecycles

This is laudable. However, please do not include Hackney Marshes as a 'wild swimming' destination. The banks of the river are a SMINC. Even if sewage is reduced, the water is shallow and highly contaminated with leachates from bomb rubble buried underneath the marshes ⚠️

The definition of ‘grey belt’ is vague. This risks opening up Green Belt land to unnecessary development. We're supporting CPRE Hertfordshire's petition in calling for change. Sign the petition. 🔗 https://www.cpre.org.uk/news/help-protect-our-green-belt-petition-to-change-the-grey-belt-definition/
