At @fightingdirty.bsky.social, we sued over this issue, and lost on the grounds that the Environment Agency couldn't be in breach because the government had issued no direction. An absurdity, which means that poisons continue to be spread on farmland every day. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hear hear! Including all that lovely land in National Parks. Bring it into public ownership. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The Dalai Lama has of course "met everyone" but I still remember the girl from Battersea... @isabel-losada.bsky.social

Enter the competition for a chance to win a copy of The Joyful Environmentalist (new updated edition) by the incredible @isabel-losada.bsky.social 📚💙🌿 comps.countryliving.co.uk/competition/... #booksky #compsky

As an atheist I'm delighted that the new Pope favours the continuity of Francis. I'm gladdened that his will represent real Christianity and stand up for the poor, the oppressed and our planet. May he be blessed by his God. He'll need it.

I love that I can winge on here & as it's not directed at anyone specific I can get away with it. I'm SO TIRED OF BEING ASKED TO WRITE COPY FOR FREE! An hour or two's work is still work even if you're an author. Sheesh. Thank you for listening friends. :-) #booksky #authors #PR #Publicity.

"The dictionary defines an environmentalist as 'a person who seeks to improve the quality of the natural environment and to protect it from harmful human activity. That's you, that's me. That's all the sane ones who live on this Earth." @isabel-losada.bsky.social from #TheJoyfulEnvironmentalist

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

Earth Day is a reminder that we only have one planet. Sometimes, it takes seeing Earth from space to truly grasp how precious it is. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)

Warblers at the watering hole The newly arrived male Blackcap has a quick dip and then immediately afterwards, the Chiffchaff - I now have two nesting pairs here. @bto-gbw.bsky.social #ukwildlife #ornithology #ukbirding

“Today, however, we have to realize that a true ecological approach always becomes a social approach; it must integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.” ― #PopeFrancis,

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

I'm going to go on shouting about this as I'm so proud & happy to be speaking at @kneppwilding.bsky.social - This Thursday - & you are given a 3 course meal with the ticket price - as well as my excellent talk - though I say so myself. :-) knepp.co.uk/view/events/...

I often get asked by friends/colleagues "how do you enjoy the landscape once you know how naturally deprived it is?" My answer? I imagine the stunning transformations over short periods and the huge potential across the UK - it's exciting! & I send these sorts of pics (before/after restoration)

SUSSEX? Are you in Sussex? If so, there are a few tickets remaining for the event at the splendid @kneppwilding.bsky.social with a full meal served. THIS THURSDAY 24th. knepp.co.uk/view/events/...

Great response here to the government's Land Use Framework consultation by Rewilding Britain. Consultation closes on April 25th. Please make your views known. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Thank you good humans. There are do many good humans out there. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Dear Environmentalists, At the end of my #TheJoyfulEnvironmentalist talk I like to recommend that everyone support an organisation that they believe in. Which 3 environmental charities would you recommend and why please? Thank you. 🌍 #nature #environment #climate #biodiversity #makeadifference

A bit of me chattering about my event at @kneppwilding.bsky.social on April 24th. If you live in Sussex do please go to the Knepp website & book a ticket while there are some left. #TheJoyfulEnvironmentalist #ClimateCrisis #Solutions. 🌍

The highest paid director at Barclays Bank was paid £10,533,000 last year. Another undisclosed banker was paid £14 million. This bank has no ethics. They fund the fossil fuel industry, the arms industry & made use of tax havens to avoid 2 billion in tax in 2022. Just don't bank with them. 🌍

Well done #Paris Come on #London Why are we so slow to keep up? 🌍

All good news always welcome.

"Enough with unicorns and dinosaurs". Wonderful piece in the Guardian by @isabel-losada.bsky.social urging us to fill children's lives with the magic of nature that really exists in the world around us... Isabel is talking at Knepp on 24 April. Link below ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

BREAKING & BIG: Today in PARIS, citizens voted in a referendum to PEDESTRIANIZE 500 MORE of the city's streets, giving fresh momentum to efforts by city leaders to create people-places, curb car usage, and improve air quality. 66% of Parisians voted in favour of the measure, official results showed!

Good grief! Good news + common sense.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks. Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Coming to @hayfestival.bsky.social ? This is going to be the most positive event of the entire festival. I'm currently reading Sumit's book #TheBrightSide & loving it. Book now before it sells out. ☀️#booksky #TheJoyfulEnvironmentalist 🌍 #HayFestival #Books #Environment tinyurl.com/3ehsy6mc

Anyone going to Hay? @hayfestival.bsky.social ? I'm speaking on #TheJoyfulEnvironmentalist on Friday 23rd May & I'd love to meet some fellow #environmentalists there? #Booksky 🌍 #Environment #climatesolutions

Just putting this here again because I can. :-) Edited extract from #TheJoyfulEnvironmentalist New Revised edition out this April #Booksky 🌍 #environment www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So proud of this wonderful commendation for #theJoyfulEnvironmentalist - you have to forgive me plugging the title a little before the 2nd edition comes out on April 8th.

There's a great series of events, many online, being run by Rewilding Europe across the continent to mark World Rewilding Day next Thursday, March 20th rewildingeurope.com/world-rewild...

Following The Guardian piece yesterday about other options for children apart from dinosaurs, unicorns and mermaids - look at this great T shirt from @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social I just couldn’t resist buying this in yellow for a 2 year old I know. :-)

Happy to have this rant in @theguardian.com today. An edited extract from the new #JoyfulEnvironmentalist I think you'll like this @derekgow1965.bsky.social @irishrainforest.bsky.social @isabelh.bsky.social @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social @dpcarrington.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I have been asked to make a short video on a piece of positive environmental news I have heard recently. Hmmmm. I've been following events in America so I'm a little low on ideas here. Any suggestions?

Good river news: money in the Water Restoration Fund will, after all, be used for river restoration & water-quality amelioration rather than dissolved into the wider Treasury spend. Less good: only £11m was imposed in fines by Ofwat on water companies in 22-23. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I love it when the sun shines and the Common Whitlowgrass flowers are fully open. 🌞 So pretty. #WildflowerHour

The male Wren is busy on fixing & snagging identified issues before inspection by a female who may call for a viewing. He's paying particular attention to the doorway, making sure it's good & strong and narrowing it down a little, to ensure its a snug fit & keeps out prying eyes. #wrens #ukwildlife

Who is coming to the glorious Hay Festival @hayfestival.bsky.social this year? I'll be there 23rd to 26th & on stage on 23rd. Hope to see many friends reading books in the sunshine. Do let me know if you're coming. #TheJoyfulEnvironmentalist #HayFestival2025 #PositiveReading #Environment 🌍

At @xrglobal.bsky.social & @extinctionrebellion.uk they have a wonderful slogan they paint on banners, 'Another World is Possible' - this message feels vital now. 🌍
