Why it's so vital that delegates at #COP30 ignore pressures from Trump and act bravely and boldly on #climate: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Staggered that the #DailyTorygraph is accusing the #BBC of exaggeration on climate!! I'm forever complaining that they aren't giving it enough coverage and urgency. And as @desmog.com rightly point out, that paper's record on climate accuracy is less than stellar! www.desmog.com/2025/11/10/t...

Big #polluters cause the #climate crisis. Why should we pay for the impacts while they continue to profit? Join us and add your name to this @friends-earth.bsky.social petition, demanding big polluters pay their fair share for a greener future🌍👇 action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/dem...

Join us in London on Saturday and do something positive for the #climate.

So true @paulluton.bsky.social , and the police/court/prison costs too. But fortunately we are pacifists so we won't be boosting 'growth' that way!

We just LOVE this. Please enjoy and share. @flightfreeuk.bsky.social @hacaneast.bsky.social

Why we should all 'bang in some beans'! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Targeting #EconomicGrowth is harmful because #GDP doesn't measure the right things. If I drive 5 miles in a gas guzzling 4x4 (not that I would) it counts towards GDP because I buy fuel. If I cycle instead it doesn't count. And yet driving causes pollution, congestion and higher accident risk.

It's ironic, but heartening, when #Trump's belligerence accidentally results in a reduction in carbon emissions;-) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

It's shocking to read that 78% of what ends up in Richmond’s rubbish bins could have been recycled. Time for change: richmond.gov.uk/news/news_no...

Just heard from Sarah Olney MP that she will be supporting the amendments. We've also written to @munirawilson.bsky.social and are waiting to hear back from her. Hopefully she will also be supportive.

Disappointing to read in @ethical-consumer.bsky.social's always thought-provoking magazine that Green & Blacks (one of the #Fairtrade pioneers) is now owned by a multi-national and moving away from #Fairtrade. Time to switch to a more ethical chocolate brand. www.ethicalconsumer.org/food-drink/s...

Great to see some new faces at our monthly meeting tonight.

Swimmable London is a worthy aim, but joining an alliance is the easy part. Stopping #ThamesWater dumping sewage into our rivers needs a lot more work, most of which is unfortunately outside the @london.gov.uk's powers.

MPs will have a chance to amend the potentially devastating Planning Bill - let them know you want them to stand up for nature with this simple action from @ldnwildlifetrust.bsky.social action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/180301/...

Yes - it's not often that we agree with the water cos. It's time for the government to take action to ban #ForeverChemicals

Apparently it's #NoDigDay today so check this out if you want to learn more about this #soil friendly way of #gardening: www.charlesdowding.co.uk/resources/be...

We don't want to be bah humbuggy about this but do we really need weeks of #fireworks every night? Perhaps OK for New Year, 5th November or Diwali but why every day? They are bad news for both air quality, pets and the environment. www.sciencefocus.com/planet-earth...

We seek #volunteers who love talking to visitors to work as little as 2 hours per month. We are a lovely little museum housed within a 300 year old Georgian building. We really need volunteers to keep the museum open. Email [email protected] if interested.

We LOVE the idea of 'no spend' - a kind of consumption strike for the #planet. www.triodos.co.uk/articles/202...

This is such an important message to get out there. Thanks to UCL for crunching the numbers www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Really important judgment in @badgertrust.bsky.social & @wildjustice.bsky.social's case protecting environmental groups' ability to challenge plans that would damage our environment. wildjustice.org.uk/badgers/high... "something bigger than all of us is at stake: the environment which we share"

Our thoughts are with the people of Jamaica facing the #ClimateChange induced might of Melissa. Meanwhile UK tourists complaining about ruined holidays seem oblivious to the fact that by flying there they are adding to the #Warming that causes more powerful hurricanes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Want to retrofit your home and cut your fuel bills, but not sure where to start? Here's some advice: retrofit.coop/blog/draught...

Yes climate breakdown means more turbulence for flyers. It’s also on track to heat the planet by 4C+ this century, kill billions of people & collapse our civilization. Keep on seeing the deadliest crisis our species has ever faced framed as some minor consumerist inconvenience.

If you are considering buying a plug in hybrid, you should read this first: www.theguardian.com/environment/... Typical #Greenwashing from car manufacturers.

Good to see the Environment Committee challenging the government to account for the environmental impacts of multiple airport expansions and set limits for emissions and for air and noise pollution: committees.parliament.uk/work/9061/ai...

We're sick of the #BBC broadcasting one-sided views from business without proper challenge. Yesterday's Today programme let #MerlinEntertainment's CE to call (unchallenged) for a cut in VAT to encourage inbound tourism and 'more flights' paid for by higher income tax! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

We find this type of #Halloween decoration pretty scary - not because it looks like a giant spider's web but because of all that #MicroPlastic it contains that will escape into the local environment. What's wrong with a nice pumpkin? They look festive and you can make a nice soup with the insides.

This might sound technical but it could make a huge difference to whether pension funds back #FossilFuels or #GreenGrowth. If you have a minute please email your MP: action.shareaction.org/page/179482/... @shareaction.bsky.social

Whilst this is great news for children's young lungs, in an ideal world we would tackle the root causes of poor indoor #AirQuality in schools rather than the symptoms. @mumsforlungs.bsky.social

OK, so we are a bit late for 'international e-waste day' but we're posting this anyway as it's always a good day to get advice on how to keep things of out landfill: richmond.gov.uk/news/news_oc... #recycle

Is there plastic in your tea? If you are using teabags (even those described as plant based) the answer is probably yes: www.which.co.uk/news/article... Time to buy a tea strainer and opt for loose leaf tea.

One of our members checked her toiletries after reading this www.theguardian.com/environment/... and was horrified to discover that #Unilever's so called 'Simple' cleanser contains microplastics. It's worth checking what's in your bathroom and switching to safer products.

For those who say we can't afford 'net zero'. This is one of very many reasons why we can't afford not to: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

@rbgkew.bsky.social 's Millennium Seed Bank will be 25 years old this year. This gives a flavour of the HUGE impact it's had: www.kew.org/read-and-wat...

"Government told to prepare for 2C warming by 2050" by @thecccuk.bsky.social . Sadly we have no confidence that they will act on this as they are too busy expanding airports and competing with Reform in a race to the bottom. Tell your MP that this matters to you. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It seems grossly unfair that many #charities will have to pay a ' #nuclear infrastructure levy' to fund the Sizewell C white elephant whilst the power guzzling 'energy intensive industries' won't. www.civilsociety.co.uk/news/chariti...

Ever wanted to explore the truth around #ClimateChange? This free event in Hampton looks interesting www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/climate-re...

How typical of UK politicians to not allow the science to get in the way of political expediency! It's frustrating how #Labour promised to #EndTheCull when they weren't in power but are now procrastinating. @badgertrust.bsky.social @wildjustice.bsky.social

Exciting plans in Hammersmith's local plan to demolish the awful 1960's flyover and replace it with housing: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p... London needs more big thinking like this to make our streets less dominated by traffic.

Richmond Station cycle hub now open. Like @paulluton.bsky.social we were surprised at the lack of lifts (although the stairs do have bike channels). We asked about security and were told it has CCTV everywhere which is at least an upgrade on the old bike parking stands.

The airport lobby would have us believe that planes will get quieter over time. In fact the opposite is likely: www.reading.ac.uk/news/2025/Re... Just one more reason not to expand airports. #Don'tGrowHeathrow

Opening imminently: Richmond Station's new cycle hub.
