Hi @drscottarthurmp.bsky.social, as a #CANBill supporter, will you join the call for the Government to allow more time for its debate to continue? We need REAL change for climate and nature for a greener, cleaner, more prosperous Britain. @zero-hour.bsky.social zerohour.uk

From Climate Psychology Alliance Scotland: "Do you feel things are unravelling, natural and human systems that keep our world (more or less) functioning are increasingly collapsing? You are not alone!" #Edinburgh, 14/06/25 #Collapse #Resilience #Community www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/transforma...

Go on - it's a win-win: you relax, while nature thrives!
