I think we all know, or have heard, this piece of poetry..... #NationalPoetryDay

These practical, nature-based solutions are part of the answer, but they must be matched by wider action. Just as Britain led the world during the Industrial Revolution, we must lead again - this time towards a greener economy that safeguards the environment for future generations.

The UK has made important progress in reducing emissions but we must go further and faster. At the National Trust, we're restoring peatlands, planting woodlands, generating renewable energy and managing land to lock in carbon and help nature thrive.

Climate change is already damaging the nature, beauty and heritage we care for. Without deep and sustained cuts to emissions, nature faces an even more perilous future and the places people love will continue to suffer. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Kemi Badenoch is wrong and reckless with our children’s future. The reality is that investing in renewables is the greatest economic growth opportunity in this century and will protect the planet. The Conservatives have gone over the edge into complete irrelevance. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My favourite poem for #NationalPoetryDay is a wonderful poem from Emily Dickinson

Jane Goodall’s A++ takedown of Donald Trump just went viral again for reasons which will become obvious flip.it/mCzPbi

"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall. She was a force for nature, tirelessly advocating for the protection and restoration of our natural world. Her presence will be sorely missed." - Tanya Steele, CEO WWF UK.

Politico: "Kemi Badenoch has pledged to scrap the Climate Change Act, stripping away legally binding targets that have underpinned nearly 20 years of climate policy under red and blue governments alike." No doubt pushing any remaining climate friendly Tories to the Lib Dems...

The very uncharitable profits of JustGiving which takes fees, a cut of gift aid, and then asks donors for a tip! bit.ly/4nzZpDV much better to give directly to the charity, but if you do use JG always set tip to zero. But you can’t stop it snaffling some of the Gift Aid

Is there a petition to remove Mone from the HoL?

Ofgem won't scrap standing charges for electricity and gas. Instead suppliers will add a tariff with lower standing charges but higher unit rates. Those who would benefit most, including 446,000 largely low income customers, will be excluded. My blog bit.ly/42kdSLC

Ignore the nonsense of a 2% rise in domestic energy bills from today. ELECTRICITY standing charge UP 4.5%, units UP 2.41% GAS standing charge UP 14.12%, units DOWN 0.63% %ages differ for people who pay quarterly. Stand Charge now £16.33/month electricity and £10.35/month - more for quarterly

A day of two halves. Bought a lovely warm dressing gown to beat the cold 👍😊 Lost my favourite pair of gloves, which really kept my hands warm👎😒 #Autumn

It’s #LincolnshireDay, so we’re off to Gunby Hall to explore the site of a moated manor at the south of the Estate. Bratoft Moated Manor was the seat of the Markham family from 1409 to 1538. In 1495 the lands of Bratoft and Gunby and the moated site at Bratoft came into the family. 🧵

More River Severn pollution monitoring needed in Shrewsbury - campaigners - BBC News share.google/uikXzyhqIhCf... Such a beautiful river which runs through our county, and others, it needs to be looked after and cared for - which obviously ST Water are not doing!

September days. 30 days of loveliness.

So fed up. Ordered something of Etsy beginning Sept to arrive for mid Oct. Just been informed it's not arriving until after a specific date. It seems the seller sat on my order for 2 weeks. Grrrrrrr. Definitely won't bother with Etsy again. It seems too much hassle. Very disappointed.

Hello October! Or should that be Moth-tober? 🎃🦋 With autumn well underway, keep an eye out for these butterflies and moths in your gardens and local green spaces.

The Dahlia, a birth flower for those born in #October, symbolises dignity and elegance in the language of flowers. Folklore says dreaming of colourful Dahlias brings good fortune, while in folk magic they are charms for spiritual growth and evolution. Happy new month! #October1st

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.
