People talk about “sacrifices” of being vegan are the food you’ll no longer eat - cheese, chocolate, cream, eggs…. No one talks about the real sacrifices, the social implications. Becoming unpopular for not tolerating abuse. The bullying. The hostility.

Ngl, drives me mad everyone goes on about how bad AI is for water use, pollution and fossil fuels, but then they don’t want to talk about animal agriculture. They’ll boast they don’t use AI because of the environment whilst eating a beef burger.

Trying to do environmentally friendly travel as possible, booked us a train trip to Aviemore. Looking forward to the adventure and documenting the pros and cons. Hoping to hire a bike to go bird watching too.

Now is not the time to be quiet. It isn’t a ceasefire. It’s a stealth fire. Trump and his board of warmongers intend to use Gaza as a template. Replace the UN. Turbo charge the colonisation. Delete your rights.

“It echoes warnings some of us have made for years, only to be dismissed as nutters, doomsayers and extremists...“It is unlikely the UK would be able to maintain food security if ecosystem collapse drives geopolitical competition for food.”

Interesting that even the Guardian didn’t mention the report strongly hints at being more plant based and significantly reducing animal agriculture. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It’s funny how they call it “unproductive” land because it isn’t exploitable for high yield, yet it tends to often be the land most productive for ecosystem services - water and pollution absorption, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, clean air, clean water, soil health…

We won’t survive without Degrowth

A massive pet peeve of mine is when I am watching a documentary on British Wildlife, and there are cardinals singing in the background 😑

I need to relax and have more faith in karma doing her job 😏

I’m going to save you the 3 hours. Go vegan. Respect women’s’ rights and bodily autonomy.

“Without a major shift in how we build and invest, nature will keep deteriorating with huge consequences for our collective future.

Is Net Zero too expensive, or is it climate denial that’s the real cost? Also, 77% of global farmland is for animal agriculture. Go vegan.

Four billion at 3oC. Scared yet?

Surprise surprise… It always felt like dodgy ground

Veganism is social justice, just as much as it is animal rights and environmental justice. If you care about people and humanity- go vegan. If you are anti colonialism and anti capitalism - go vegan.

“Peaceful environmental activists are policed more heavily than violent far-right agitators and are far more likely to face charges if they get arrested.”

Far right thugs attack peaceful climate rally in Manchester

“The report said severe skills shortages in ecology, planning and construction would be what made it impossible for the government to deliver on its housebuilding ambitions.”

Here's a brief clip from the programme yesterday, about why Keir Starmer's Labour Party is tanking in the polls. www.youtube.com/shorts/jcUXX...

Voters want both: homes built and wildlife protected. MPs should listen to the public, not a false "nature vs growth" narrative. If nature loses at this stage, it will be because they chose not to protect it. Tell your MP to back nature: action.rspb.org.uk/page/180990/... 📢

SURPRISE SURPRISE Although thank you to my MP @linseyfarnsworthmp.bsky.social for letting me meet and speak with her about this, I just hope you don’t get whipped (bullied and threatened) into voting for poor legislation.

“What does it say for Labour’s interest in nature if it U-turns on even this simple, cheap and uncontentious measure?”

We get left with the worst of both worlds. Nature is trashed in the name of building the homes that the underhoused people of England desperately need. But they are not actually built. Instead, the big corporations get to destroy our wild places for more lucrative but socially useless projects.
