More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Regardless of the issue, it's always the same story: commercial interests allowed to ride roughshod over everything and everyone else. Faced with the urgent need for action, successive governments twiddle their thumbs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Great news for Woodcock! After our campaigning, the shooting season for Woodcock is proposed to be shortened! On Monday we heard the news that the government are proposing changes to Schedule 2.1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, affecting 9 species of birds... 1/3

“Trump is a bully and a blackmailer, and he has made absolutely no plan for what an exit strategy looks like. When he asks for our help we should say: Donald, ‘you broke it, you fix it.’” Caroline Lucas speaking on the Iran war on #BBCQT.

"It's a question of where’s that money's going? And you've handed over our private patient data to Palantir, a company with far-right connections. If that money was instead going into the front line, we might all have a better chance of having a better NHS" Caroline Lucas on the NHS on #BBCQT

“This isn’t just about my livelihood – it’s about justice for the lough before there’s nothing left for the next generation.” The slow murder of Lough Neagh—the largest lake on the island of Ireland & across the British Isles—is a tragedy and a travesty. Go go Declan Conlon.

Revealing who owns England just became Government policy. Here's my blog post analysing this historic moment, as well as assessing some of the other ambitious policies unveiled in the Government's new Land Use Framework: whoownsengland.org/2026/03/19/r...

In case there was any doubt that Reform loathe nature & rewilding, here’s Richard Tice opposing the new land use framework and saying: “We should be maximising food production, not subsidising productive land to sit idle.” Reform would be a disaster for nature. They need to be utterly defeated.

My full quote to the Times on why it’s bananas to let landowners release 50m pheasants into the British countryside without proper regulations, given their ecological impacts and role as a vector for bird flu:

Pollution in England’s rivers has prompted volunteers to start testing waterways themselves. Now a new tool will allow anyone to report what they see in rivers, lakes and beaches. eastangliabylines.co.uk/environment/...

Waxcap grasslands are rare, beautiful, and ecologically vital habitats – yet they lack the protection they deserve. The Government must recognise their importance and act to safeguard them. #NatureRecovery #Biodiversity Response 👉 questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques...

The war on nature by this dismal government continues “No ecologists or environmental specialists were invited to shape these proposals into anything that resembles a ‘win’ for nature,” said top environmental planning lawyer Alexa Culver, of RSK Wilding. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Channel 4’s ‘Dirty Business’ revealed the human cost of privatised water. We need public ownership. I’m co-hosting an MP drop-in with frontline water activists. Ask your MP to meet with them: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-... @cleanilkley.bsky.social @windrushwasp.bsky.social

There is a terrible housing crisis – Europe is so rich, there is no good excuse for having people without a home, or struggling to keep the one they have This crisis stems from treating housing as a commodity to speculate on, not as a basic human need Doubling down on speculation won't help

#DirtyBusiness exposed the human cost of profit before public health. Our water system won’t be fixed with tinkering. It needs public ownership. I’ve asked my MP to attend the MP drop-in on 17th March & hear that message directly from sewage campaigners: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

Would the Greens do this? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

@greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social @rachelmillward.bsky.social @mothinali.bsky.social @carolinelucas.bsky.social Would the Greens do this? Currently we wouldn't know. #nature #biodiversity #wildlife

Office for Environmental Protection & RSPB on one side - Defra on the other. Who do you trust in a disagreement about wildlife protection? markavery.info/2026/03/03/r... Rachel Reeves briefly channeled Hannah the Plumber in Spring Statement but what wd Greens do if they had power? We don't know.

Lynx could return to Scotland – but can rewilders win over wary Highlanders?

The latest @humanists.bsky.social Freedom of Thought Report highlights a growing, global trend of 'traditional values' & 'religious freedom' being weaponised against the rights of humanists, the non-religious, religious minorities as well as women & LGBT+ people globally. Invaluable resource.

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere. It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

the epidemic of men launching podcasts about nothing has gotten out of control to combat this I am launching a podcast WITH A WOMAN (veteran climate journalist Tracy Wholf) to talk about stuff that actually matters (the planet being destroyed by the worst people alive) Find subscribe links here:

What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚

The Channel 4 docudrama 'Dirty Business' is exposing the real danger that sewage pollution poses to our environment and our health. All while shareholders receive billions in dividends. It's time to end the failed privatisation experiment and bring water back into public hands.

Channel 4’s Dirty Business is a clarion call to nationalise the water industry

Dirty Business review – if this doesn’t incite righteous anger over our filthy water then nothing will

People of Gorton and Denton, please make hope normal again on 26th February and vote for Hannah Spencer. 💚 join.greenparty.org.uk

Really? Maybe, but I'd be a bit surprised since this is the betting: Greens 4/6 Reform 3/1 Labour 5/1 If it's going to be close between Labour & Reform there are fortunes to be made betting. Close for 2nd place maybe. But polls, betting & journos can all be wrong. We need another Green MP.

We may need a plumber in Westminster (could she stop the leaks?) but we definitely need another Green MP to prick the Reform bubble and to give Labour a kick up the backside. As a former Labour member I hope for a Green win tomorrow.

If enough people vote Green tomorrow there will be more nature-friendly policies from all political parties. Maybe including the Greens themselves (who could do better) www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Britain is playing down its role in supporting the US for another illegal attack on Iran, with fighter jets, spy planes, and refuelling aircraft transiting through Britain on their way to the Middle East - including via RAF Lakenheath, where US nuclear bombs are likely deployed.

Today is the day. Hope vs hate. Green vs Reform. Vote Green in Gorton & Denton.

On the eve of the Gorton & Denton by-election the Labour Party have invented a fake tactical voting organisation to put on their leaflets. Lying to voters is all they have left. All the (real) tactical voting organisations agree: only a Green vote can stop Reform on Thursday.
