📢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/

“Head of OFWAT hear us say, Thames Water NO way!” OFWAT is considering allowing Thames Water to break the rules and dump sewage in our rivers and seas for the next 15 years. We are outside OFWAT HQ to demand they say NO!

In our latest blog, we explore the flood risk associated with building on the Thames Water Depot and how the transformation of the site into @elwaterworks.bsky.social would mitigate flood risk - a fitting local response to a Climate & Nature Emergency www.saveleamarshes.org.uk/2025/10/14/f...

In the absence of the council's sustainability event, @sustainhackney.bsky.social put on their own! So many great organisations in the borough from @saveleamarshes.bsky.social to @hackneylcc.bsky.social , mentoring young people in sustainable fashion to creating insect corridors & much more ⭐️

Shocking decision. It's clear none of London's parks and green spaces are safe now.

One huge problem with the big focus on tree planting is that a forest is not just trees - its a community of interacting plants and animals Most trees depend on animals to disperse their seeds, but seed dispersers are dying out everywhere www.nature.com/articles/s44...

"Even areas without high levels of air pollution, but which were built primarily from concrete and asphalt and lacked green spaces, increased asthma risk by as much as 36 per cent." Access to green space is not a fluffy extra - it's integral to health. www.independent.co.uk/life-style/h...

Not just building flood defences but maintaining those we've got, restoring peatlands & woodlands & wetlands & urban gardens & all the spongy spaces that absorb water, reducing flood risk. @floodmary.bsky.social speaking at yesterday's EAC. www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

Water is a critical national resource. It's part of our commons and belongs to all of us. Yet a decades long ideological commitment to privatisation has seen water treated as a commodity, a profit extraction vehicle that exists to enrich a small few at the expense of the many. We can do it better.

Having first started taking an active interest in river pollution in 2013, this reads like the secret manual we've been battling against for years: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🦇We are deeply concerned by the government’s latest rhetoric, which wrongly blames bats for slowing house building and infrastructure projects. Better planning needs real solutions, not blame games. BCT's thoughts on this here: www.bats.org.uk/news/2025/03... #bats #planning

Thames Water wants to be spared billions of pounds of costs and fines over the next 5 years. TW ripped off customers, dumped sewage in rivers, neglected investment, borrowed money to pay dividends. Laws must apply. No public bailout. Let it go bankrupt. Nationalise for nominal sum.

Government confirms UK emissions have fallen 53 per cent since 1990 Emissions from agriculture exceed those from power generation for the first time, as data shows emissions are now at lowest level since the 1870s www.businessgreen.com/news/4409707...

Pyke "I didn't come in to do this for money...I think [Sizewell C] is a really important thing...to get right for Britain" Really Julia? EDFs flawed EPR reactors sited on 1 of Europe's fastest eroding coasts with no guaranteed mains water supply essential for 60yrs of op! www.ft.com/content/8613...

Regulator accused of letting hedge funds control Thames Water. TW shares worthless, shareholders won't invest. Lenders in control, want public money, will continue to extract cash. OFWAT approved price hikes, likely to suspend fines. Must nationalise to end crisis. archive.ph/vr4UK

Quote from Noreen Masud; applicable beyond 🇬🇧 ‘Britain lives in terrible denial of a history it can’t admit to &it survives that by indicating to people of colour v subtly & v passively that they shouldn’t think of themselves as real, cos if no one real was hurt then no real harm has been done’
