Shocking to read that only 18% of food waste is recycled in Richmond Borough. It's not that hard to do. share.google/i6SxjtJc5dfh...

If we could get those 1.6bn people to be up in arms over this it could be a game changer! The problem is that because air pollution is often invisible awareness remains low share.google/EjryuJCnVRde...

Interesting that North Somerset are now only collecting general waste every 3 weeks and also that Which are supportive. Will @richmondcouncil.bsky.social & other London Councils be brave enough to follow? Do you think they should? www.which.co.uk/news/article...

As we listen to him Trumpeting rubbish as usual, we wonder whether he's really that stupid, or whether he's just being paid to pretend to be that stupid by #BigOil

Stunning view!! No, we don't mean the long sandy beach nor the sand dunes and rolling hills beyond. It's those lovely turbines generating lots of nice clean energy that caught our eye! Tough luck #Trump we love our #WindFarms over here.

Can the UK expand airports and still hit climate targets? Basically no! share.google/hTLEtYtcdt3f...

A sad day as the government shamefully hammers another nail into the coffin of the UK's climate promises: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's #CarFree day on Monday (22nd). To celebrate why not join one of these free walks: www.eventbrite.com/cc/exploring...

Interesting article. It seems saving bees is more nuanced than we realised: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Private school Latymer Upper boasts of its "world class" sports ground in Chiswick, but doesn't mention all the trees that were removed to develop it, nor explain why they need to water it when it's raining! www.latymer-upper.org/extra-curric...

So sad to learn Robert Redford has died. Hollywood heartthrobs come and go but the US badly needs more tireless champions of #environmental causes, not one less. RIP Sundance Kid. news.mongabay.com/2025/09/robe...

Let's hope so. The #FossilFuel lobbyists can argue that climate change isn't happening but they can't fight the tide of economics.

Disappointed to (finally) get a reply from @richmondcouncil.bsky.social saying that they plan to remove the tree as it's "causing an obstruction". We will continue to try to persuade them otherwise. It would be really sad to see it go.

Free debate on #Heathrow's proposed expansion: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/heathrows-... although if it was up to us it would be called the cons and more cons of Heathrow's R3!!

Only 25 arrests after "wholly unacceptable" violent protests in London today: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... compared to c 1000 arrests for peacefully holding up a piece of card in London last week. Worrying times.

We love this story about a boy called Hugo taking a stand against plastics in his school uniform: www.theguardian.com/environment/... but it also raises worrying issues for all parents about the health impact of #plastics on children's health. @mumsforlungs.bsky.social

Just a reminder that central Richmond will be traffic free tomorrow with lots of entertainment planned. Let's make the most of it.

It's great to see more and more people discovering the joys of cycling, but we agree that rental e-bikes need to be better managed: richmond.nub.news/news/local-n...

We need a bold and fair climate plan. The government must produce a plan in under 50 days, and Sadiq Khan can help make sure it delivers by pressing Keir Starmer for more powers and funding. Ask Sadiq to back a bold and fair climate plan. actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

Good to see at least one COP ending with some sort of agreement. Well done @wwtworldwide.bsky.social www.wwt.org.uk/news-and-sto...

As if the chance to try out a #CargoBike wasn't enough, we'll be heading to Twickenham on 26th to join the queue for the free cake!!

Delighted Richmond's town centre will be traffic free on Saturday for a festival: www.centrestagerichmond.co.uk A small step towards a vision of Richmond "where the sounds of birds replace the noise of traffic and clean air and pedestrianised spaces create a peaceful retreat". Do come and enjoy it.

Unfortunately she also spent 5 years as as MD of Public Affairs, Policy & Research at TheCityUK, a special interest group lobbying the UK Government on behalf of the financial sector. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Re... We can't see much evidence of environmental interest on her website.

Unethical UK corporates are destroying forests around the world with their shady practices, while communities and wildlife lose their homes. For the people and animals who depend on our world’s forests, it’s not actually “just business”. Demand action today: foe.uk/m6l4o

Why we need legally binding targets to force #banks to act on #climate because they can't be trusted to act responsibly without them: www.triodos.co.uk/articles/202...

If you are local, one (very talented) RTFoE member has a free exhibition of art inspired by the #RiverCrane www.nickirolls.com/news in Richmond this month. Do pop in and say 'Hi' if you are in town.

HOT RESEARCH NEWS! Motonormativity ("car brain") is a bias that stops people making rational judgements about driving en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motonor... Our new study shows where this bias comes from AND how it makes people think they're odd for supporting changes to the transport system 🧵

Richmond Park had a narrow escape with this fire recently. The #FireBrigade are asking people to provide What3Words locations (what3words.com) if they are reporting anything similar as the Park is a big place.

Good to see the regulators cracking down on some dodgy #greenwashing of #biomass by Drax: www.reuters.com/sustainabili... Hopefully this will make other companies think more carefully about making dubious "green" claims.

Surely the headline should read "Tories promise to hasten Armageddon in desperate attempt to out-reform Reform". Either way she should be ashamed to sink so low: www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Every day the government delays banning the sale of peat compost means more carbon lost to the atmosphere from this appalling practice www.wildlifetrusts.org/news/vast-ar...

The Government needs to understand that nature is part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Applications for this year's play streets close tomorrow (29th): richmond.gov.uk/news/news_au... A chance for kids to play in the street (and neighbours/parents to enjoy a drink and a chat).

Good to see plans for much needed homes but the GSK HQ building wasn't built that long ago. What a waste of all that embodied carbon: www.building.co.uk/news/plans-i...

We love this video from Switzerland about 'knackerinnen' removing concrete to boost biodiversity and reduce flood risk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPrb... Would be great to see something like it here too.

It's good to see #MicroPlastics making the front page of #Which magazine. But while awareness raising is good, they need to be a stronger voice for prevention at source. If you are a member please email [email protected] and tell them so.

If you have a great idea for a project which helps local people and nature adapt to climate change, @richmondcouncil.bsky.social can help fund it. Apply here by Friday: richmond.gov.uk/news/news_ju...

#AirPollution levels in some parts of #Richmond borough still exceed WHO guidelines with negative implications for our health. Action on idling vehicles should help reduce it - please support action by responding to this short consultation: richmond.gov.uk/news/news_au...

Final chance to object to #ThamesWater's damaging proposals: the consultation closes on 26th August. If you are short of time email [email protected] and say that you want to object to the DRA scheme.

Ministers are choosing to use Brexit to “actively go backwards”. We need to let them know that we won't stand for more broken environmental promises! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It's international #Orangutan day today - so sobering to learn that they have lost more than 80% of their #rainforest habitat in the last 30 years. www.orangutan.org.uk
