Younger and female investors more likely to accept lower returns for more sustainable investments. Interesting that this also matches demographic of voters most likely to vote Green. Investing "without sacrificing their core values".

Sounds like the scientists worked their butts off, for free, because they are desperate for polititicans to act. 'A “very rapidly evolved process” that relied on the “goodwill” and “enthusiasm” of the academics involved.' As ever, people-power vs fossil-fuel £££s.

The best bit about the People's Emergency Briefing? The clips of Chris Packham sharing a sofa, and taking in their reactions as they watched. The best bit about *hosting* a screening? Our audience sharing their feelings. Facts don't change behaviours - feelings do!

One of those weekends when the weight of the world feels overwhelming. So starting with actions I can control: Yoga. A walk in nature and cooking a family dinner. Oh and plotting the Green surge in Kendal by designing leaflets for @kendalgreenparty.bsky.social 💚

When you send out invites and hope people show up... 200 did! 200 people sat in silence as the film ended. 200 people processing how they felt. 200 people who talked & want to take action. Hosting a screening is rewarding - ask me Qs! Going to one is easy: www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

1 a year to 1 every 12 hours - killer data story telling!

This is a huge part of getting our silent majority to be louder. Great to see membership orgs like Nat Trust and RSPB using collective voices like this.

*Gulp* - that’s a lot of lost calories.

We’ve got new neighbours! Started trimming this shrub when we discovered a Song Thrush mum and her 3 babies in a nest. Been sending this pic to friends & family, because we all love nature stories - and we can all be nature story tellers. Knowing and naming are part of caring and saving.

Kate tells a heartbreaking story of her years in NASA, and why she and 1000's of other scientists are being pushed from US science.

Insurance and investors are often pushing industry sectors to move before policy does. Why? Business risk. "Air pollution from road vehicles should be seen as a material business risk for freight and logistics operators"

“Oxfam estimates that perhaps $3.55tn is still shielded from tax – worth more than 3% of global GDP. Estimates from previous research suggest 80% of this wealth, or > $2.84tn is likely to be owned by the richest 0.1%” Illegal? Maybe not. Immoral? Feels like it www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

What do you think of this? Trying to get 1000s of people to sign the UK's biggest ever thank you card - to everyone who helps out in local communities. The aim is to generate press coverage of unity and kindness. Will it work? Worth signing to try: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/si...

You don't need to be a perfect green to make a difference. Organising with others is the way to bring about change, not recycling that one soya yoghurt pot. Real hope, real change. Come and meet people just like you. 13 April, Edington Centre, Kendal, 7pm. Bring your own drinks, snacks and Qs!

#ClimateComms needs GreenShouting! There's no climate action retreat. Business is just quiet. To customers quiet = no action. That's the greenhushing risk. This @creatives4climate.bsky.social toolkit shows the art of GreenShouting = commercial success. www.creativesforclimate.co/greenshouting

#Lancaster you are invited to see the People's Emergency Briefing with Lancaster Arts & @mikebernerslee.bsky.social holding a discussion about how this affects us and what we can do. Pay what you wish. 📍Great Hall, Lancaster Uni 📆Tue 14 April 🕖 7 - 9 pm 🎟 www.lancasterarts.org/youre-invite...

We need to talk about gases. Carbon is not a lone criminal. It might be the one on the Most Wanted Poster, but it has a gang of lessen-known villains doing just as much damage. Meet methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases, nitrogen trifluoride and sulphur hexafluoride.

Another food crisis report that was buried 🤦 This new one comes thanks to the fantastic work of @rupertread.bsky.social and @ben-cooke.bsky.social in The Times this week. A quick thread 🧵: www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

“The first rule of advocacy is to open your mouth” - Jonathon Porritt. Let me tell you a story about connection. Stories. Passion. And a banana. I’m sitting at our stand with a few bunches of bananas on the table. They make perfect sustainable give aways, link to Mike’s book, and start chats…

Your MP might not believe in climate change. You might not really believe in climate change. But your insurance company does and so do other house buyers. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

South Cumbrians! Come join us on 13 April, we’re building a bigger, stronger, more active Green Party and you can be part of it.

If we ever find aliens there’s no way they’re gonna look like humans just with egg heads and pointy eyes. My bet - they’ll look like octopuses. Possibly riding a jellyfish spaceship.

I swim in Windermere fairly regularly, so the idea that a child almost died from the pollution is shocking, scary, and personal. The commitments to clean up Windermere from Steve Reed this month are welcome. But what about all our other rivers and lakes? The Lake District has quite a few...

As someone who's never been told that I'm too quiet, this sounds totally up my comms street. #GreenSHOUTING 💚📢 Thanks @creatives4climate.bsky.social and @blabuk.bsky.social - signed up and excited to join you! #climatecomms www.creativesforclimate.co/news/greensh...

Anyone heading to edie in a coupla weeks? Swing by and say hi, I’ll be on the SWC stand chatting about compatible carbon accounting and sustainability comms 😊

Some constructive questioning and criticism I've read of the @nebriefing.bsky.social is that it was too pessimistic, and would generate fear in a general audience - resulting in helplessness and inaction. Seems that a bit of fear (but not dread) can be motivating. 1/2

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

I love this conversation starter of national identify through objects and places. What would you choose to show ‘Englishness’? For me? Teabags An orderly queue The weather forecast www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Hi! We’re the Kendal and District local branch of the @greenparty.org.uk and we’ve just joined BlueSky! If you’re one of the 1000s of new members who’ve joined the Greens recently, and you live in the South Lakes area, come along to one of our monthly meetings - we’d love to meet you.

Showing successes so far is the most motivating thing to get people to take action. For the Green Party the success of gaining a new Northern MP has been a winning comms strategy to gain new members. Shout about your success, make people want to be part of it. #ClimateComms

Congrats @greenpartyhan.bsky.social you’re going to be a brilliant MP! 💚 Yesterday was inspiring, knackering, and felt like being part of a monumental shift. Today is relief, hope and optimism 🌈

The only thing keeping my nerves at bay watching the #curling final is speed knitting. Reckon I’ll have a whole cardigan by the end of the match. C’mon Bruce and the boys! 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥌

If you're into any kind of #climatecomms, you could treat yourself to a new book from the Climate Fiction longlist, to end your week. Can confirm or deny that more books are en route to my house, and no, I don't know which overfull bookshelf they will go on either.

Climate Change, hey? You gotta laugh! A new wave of climate comedy is helping climate messages reach audiences without the doom. www.channel4.com/news/using-c...

When people believe that reaching 'net zero' is a good idea, but too expensive, we need to ask, 'Compared to what?' Yet more hidden costs of fossil fuels that we all pay the price for.

Any #greenparty members want to join me for this? Climate Outreach always have great insights into what voters feel and how best to talk with them.

“We can’t be shrinking away from this space,” say the scientists combating misinformation by taking strategies from the influencer playbook. Good feature on what's involved in getting very online by @catrionaclarke.bsky.social @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I’m taking a positive unifying view on this important research: We have more in common than that which divides us! Big majority of Brits enjoying pancakes today - the style and topping are just details.

Offering community: deep canvassing research says it's the key to help shift people's opinions. Is it the key to switching our energy industry? Life After Oil is trying to do just that. Offering community, support and storytelling for people leaving their oil industry careers. lifeafteroil.net

This is my home. I have friends who work in the paper mill that’s suspected of being the cause of forever chemicals in our local river… that I sometimes swim in. And we risk falling behind EU nations in setting limits on these chemicals in our water and soil. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

On my way to Manchester to help get @greenpartyhan.bsky.social elected as our next Green MP 💚 Spreading love and hope on Valentine’s Day.

Do you think the same org that handles military data, and handed over personal data to ICE in the US, should have your health data? Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

So, peanut butter? If butter is a protected term in the same way as milk, we’re going to need to come up with an alternative name. Pulverised peanuts. Peanut mush. Peanut gunge. Feel like this needs to be a collective effort. Please add your own! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

2 weeks ago I posted this: “Could you take one step up? 💚 If you vote green - join us If you're a member - go to your local group If you go to meetings - take on a role” Tonight I appeared to have volunteered to be on the committee of Kendal #GreenParty and to launch new social channels! *gulp*

The thing no one tells you about fighting the far-right? It can be really fun - and you meet proper lovely people. Looking at you @richiebryan.bsky.social 💚 Gave @greenpartyhan.bsky.social an energy boosting Kendal mint cake from the Kendal greens! @greenparty.org.uk @mcrgreenparty.bsky.social

Comfy shoes ✅ Shoulder bag ✅ Thermos mug ✅ Battery pack ✅ Spatular for letterboxes ✅ Green beret ✅ Hope not hate ✅ Got everything I need for some @greenpartyhan.bsky.social campaigning tomorrow!

Stories are how we understand the world we have, and the worlds we could have. Great to see such diversity in the Climate Fiction Prize long list… and in unrelated news it’s my birthday in a coupla months. And no, my to-read pile isn’t *that* big already.

What really motivates people to take collective climate action? Other people to have fun with, and evidence that this kind of thing can create change. sustainability.stanford.edu/news/how-mot... #climatecomms #greensky

We urgently need a parliamentary debate on Palantir. Please sign this & share with your network. Via @the-citizens.bsky.social & @change.org. www.change.org/p/hold-a-par...

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
