EPA just okayed PFAS “forever chemicals” on produce. Protect yourself by choosing organic, avoiding sludge-fertilized farms, buying local, and asking grocers to reject PFAS. Shifting spending to PFAS-free farms pressures the industry to stop.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Community Action Group, Sustainable Harwell planted 100 metres of whips (very young trees) to establish a new hedgerow in the village. The Tree Council: Hedgerows alongside roads can reduce air pollution exposure by up to 63 per cent, helping people breathe cleaner, healthier air. #NationalTreeWeek

Thanks to @sioldridge.bsky.social @nickoldridge.bsky.social & the team for their monumental efforts in pulling together yesterday’s National Emergency Briefing www.nebriefing.org on climate change. Thanks also go to those MPs, journalists & others who attended. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Australia has recognised a fundamental truth: that *everything* depends on healthy wild ecosystems. Time for the rest of the world to follow suit, and then ACT on it. search.app/phsEf

🎆 Big win for consumers! 21 major airlines have committed to stop using claims that mislead consumers about the real impact of flying on the environment. This concludes a complaint we lodged with 23 of our members in 2023, with the support of @clientearth.bsky.social. www.beuc.eu/press-releas...

Airlines agree to stop 'greenwashing' flights. "The pledge from 21 [EU] carriers will oblige them to clarify that emissions of a specific flight cannot be ‘neutralised, offset or directly reduced’ by contributing to climate projects or alternative fuels..." www.courthousenews.com/eu-airlines-...

🚨 Comments from US officials to 'roll back' EU digital rules are alarming. During today’s plenary, @europarl.europa.eu MEPs need to request clarity and ensure that changes to the #AIAct and #GDPR do not simply open the door to the further dominance of large tech companies. shorturl.at/nGoQK

Tonight we're celebrating 10 years of Rewilding Britain (@rewildingbritain.org.uk). I don't think I've ever come across an organisation which has shifted both public attitudes and tangible outcomes on an issue so fast. I'm proud to be associated.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal. We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary." Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%? When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

We welcome the EU #Bioeconomy Strategy and its commitment to shift toward sustainable, bio-based materials. But to fully meet EU environmental objectives it must recognise organic & agroecological farming as the most sustainable way to produce them. PR🧐 www.organicseurope.bio/news/ifoam-o...

Biodiversity is *crucial* to our wellbeing. We need to stop treating it as expendable. share.google/pKw8odZguEG8...

This documentary confronts the overpopulation crisis head on, along with biodiversity loss, pollution, toxicity & the destructiveness of 'green energy' etc & how they are the symptoms of overpopulation, overconsumption & the futile pursuit of infinite growth on a finite planet. Ecological overshoot.

"Across Finland, 43 daycare centres have been awarded a total of €1m (£830,000) to rewild yards and to increase children’s exposure to the microscopic biodiversity – such as bacteria and fungi – that lives in nature." I was in a nature preschool. #Biodiversity www.theguardian.com/environment/...

At #COP30 we shared the testimonies of Brazilian farmers on the frontline of climate breakdown, pushed for action on nitrogen waste & partnered with NGOs providing tools for plant-rich food systems. Learn more: bit.ly/49kqu9Q

Interesting short documentary on wildlife conservation in Congo and important words from rangers on the power to change and ability to restore biodiversity. Great OOH campaign too on the illegal ivory trade.

The main reason any state needs energy is because data centers are hogging it …🔻

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

No bark. No bite. The ICO has shied away from enforcing data laws one too many times. Yesterday over 70 groups and experts joined ORG's demand for an inquiry into the regulator. Evidence shows that enforcement goes down, breaches go up. We say enough. www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releas...

The aquatic mammals are trying to tell us something that we already know but actually they care more than we do right now.

“The EU’s highest court has ruled that same-sex marriages must be respected throughout the bloc and rebuked Poland for refusing to recognise a marriage between two of its citizens that took place in Germany.” Some welcome news today. 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈

EPA records show that on November 11th, “high” levels of ammonia were detected in a sample of wastewater released to the Allow The plant is permitted under its licence to discharge 0.5mg of ammonia per litre of wastewater, but the reading detected was 27mg – more than 50 times the allowed limit.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

It's not only wildflowers, birds, or butterflies that bring bright colour to an Irish rainforest. Fungi add their splash too, like these lovelies on the trunk of a standing dead holly.

Journalist and cartoonist Joe Sacco: ‘Ireland is my favourite place in Europe. It’s sane’

Pod of this week’s Last Word on the environment with Matt Cooper is now available. I argued for the futility of trying to solve Ireland’s congestion crisis with more roads, while also having a hop off a pet peeve: petrol-powered leaf blowers. www.todayfm.com/podcasts/the...

There is a poisonous word constantly used by politicians to justify privatisation, investment There is no investment, only theft of the vast majority of money and a tiny trickle of your money that is 'invested' back into the service Every time you hear investment, hear theft

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass. Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.
