Renewable heating is key to cutting fossil fuel imports 🔥➡️⚡ France is acting on it: its electrification plan confirms a full ban on gas boilers in new buildings by 2027. It focuses on scaling up EVs and heat pumps. The way out isn’t subsidising fossil fuels, it’s electrification and energy savings.

Food loss and waste generate up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and food waste alone drives up to 14% of global methane emissions. Reducing food loss and waste is important for a lot of reasons, but also to decrease emissions and limit warming. #zerowastegoals #zerowasteday

Colt’s-foot flowers from February to March/April so it’s one of the earliest available to help feed the bees 🐝 Irish native and name in Irish is Sponc. 🌼 It tends to grow on roadsides, disturbed ground and gravel banks. A bright pop of colour that’s very welcome in early Spring 🌞 #savebees

So lovely to see the 🐝👑 emerge from hibernation 💤 and start looking around for food. Red Dead Nettles are important as there aren’t many flowers around. Queen Carder Bees like to nest in cavities, base of hedgerows, and areas with longer grass. #savewildbees #phibsborough

Today is World Rewilding Day. This year's theme is #ChooseOurFuture 🌍 What kind of future do you want to live in? The IWT’s vision is an Ireland where wild nature thrives, and society enjoys the benefits of coexisting with diverse, functioning ecosystems. 🎥 www.youtube.com/@irishwildli...

Reversing the trends of decline How to help Ireland's vulnerable ground nesting birds: • Stay on designated roads & footpaths • Don't approach birds or chicks • Keep all dogs on a lead at all times esp in high nature areas • Avoid driving off‑road #CollaborativeConservation #BreedingWaders
