Good news: more than 50% of the world’s economies have seen carbon emissions from fossil fuel power generation peaking. And with the speed of change in the electricity sector many more will join this growing list in coming years.

Amazing how often we say 'too many visitors' when what we mainly mean is 'too many cars' news.stv.tv/north/dunkel...

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

NEW: Risky levels of forever chemicals in the raw drinking water sources of at least 6 million people prompted the Drinking Water Inspectorate to order water companies to act to ensure it doesn't make it to the tap. 1/2 Covered today on the BBC and... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In just six months, China added 256 gigawatts (GW) of new #solar capacity — more than the entire solar infrastructure ever built by the United States. That’s enough clean energy to power over 40 million homes, marking the fastest renewable expansion in human history.

Two of our volunteers played a key role in helping to develop the #Eastbourne Farmers Market to help bring fresh organic local #GoodFood & drink to local residents. We take our e-cargo bike to each market to pick & deliver donated food to local community fridges. ecoactioneb.co.uk/the-eastbour...

Our e-cargo bike will be available once more to deliver any fresh organic local food donated by stallholders at tomorrow’s Eastbourne Farmers Market to local community fridges. As weather is forecast to be very windy, market will be held inside the Towner Gallery. See you there! #GoodFood

Study after study, data proves again and again that bike infrastructure saves lives.

I’m in Paris right now and have noticed “school street” mentioned as a desirable feature in real estate ads. No cars = higher property value, it seems

“Recent studies show that between 80% — 89% of the world’s population wants to see climate action. Many would even contribute 1% of their income to make that happen, even tho people vastly underestimate their peers’ desire for change. Members of this “silent majority” come from all walks of life…”’

Really the only downside to having an electric cargo bike is inevitably becoming boringly evangelical about how good they are 😅 If you’re thinking about it, do it. Zero regrets.

⚠️Climate change made Hurricane Melissa four times more likely, rapid study estimates The most powerful storm in Jamaica’s history shows how climate change is increasing the economic cost, intensity, and likelihood of major storms 🧵 ow.ly/Kazp50Xke8N

The UK’s electric vehicle (EV) charging network grew by 23% in the last year, "bringing over 15,000 more chargers to motorists and enabling people to travel with ease and confidence."  Figures released today (30 October 2025) show there are now 86,021 chargers on Britain’s roads.

Well. That’s great.

The rain didn’t dampen our spirits in #Eastbourne at tonight’s Glow Ride. Along with other groups across the country we lit up the night to call for safer streets, better cycling infrastructure, and a future where women and everyone can ride with freedom and confidence. #RightToGlow #MyRideOurRight

**Reminder for this Wednesday evening**. Our ride is women-led but open to everyone. By joining in you'll be part of a nationwide movement showing that cycling should be safe, accessible and visible all year round.

To future-proof our forests from climate change, a 'species for the future' list has been released highlighting thirty trees likely to thrive in a warmer climate. It includes oak, birch, and alder, coast redwood and Corsican pine. 🌲

Let’s briefly count the ways this is a really dumb policy: - there remains overwhelming support in the UK to tackle climate change - paying for climate action now is a down payment on massive £££ savings later - it tethers Tories to Reform rather than differentiates them.

There's a really nice explanation (with clear graphics) in this @quantamagazine.bsky.social article of why most molecules in the atmosphere (oxygen & nitrogen) don't act as greenhouse gases, but a lot of the far less numerous ones (like carbon dioxide and methane) do. A great teaching aid :)
