Gall rhwydi plastig mewn tywyrch porfa ladd anifeiliaid bach fel draenogod ac adar ac yn achosi microblastigau. Rydym wedi anfon llythyr agored at @WGClimateChange , wedi'i lofnodi gan 8 sefydliad, yn galw am ei wahardd yng Nghymru. Darllenwch mwy 👇 foe.cymru/cy/llythyr-a...

Plastic netting in grass turf can be fatal to small animals such as hedgehogs and birds. And it’s a source of #microplastics. We've sent an open letter to @WGClimateChange, signed by 8 organisations, calling for it to be banned in #Wales.

Looking forward to attending this briefing on the Environmental Governance, Principles and Targets Bill later!

Thousands of Welsh children exposed to 'dangerous' air pollution - research www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/2525242... #CleanAirDay @healthyaircymru.bsky.social @asthmalungcymru.bsky.social @foecymrucydd.bsky.social

Ar #DiwrnodAerGlân rydym yn ymuno â'r galw gan ein partneriaid yn Awyr Iach Cymru am weithrediad cryfach gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar lefelau llygredd aer tu allan i ysgolion. Mae dros 65,000 o blant ysgol yn wynebu perygl llygredd aer niweidiol. Mwy yma foe.cymru/cy/data-llyg...

On #CleanAirDay we join the call from our partners at @HealthyAirCymru for stronger action by Welsh Government to deal with air pollution levels outside schools. Over 65,000 school children are at risk of poor air quality levels according to research. More here: foe.cymru/air-pollutio...

We love this idea, well done Carole! Hopefully Welsh Government will agree with us that a new nationwide network of toy libraries would be a good idea. dailypost.co.uk/news/north-w...

🌞Yr haf hwn yn y Rhyl nid dim ond garddio mae Penny yn ei wneud - mae hi'n ail-wylltio ysbryd cymunedol. Fel Garddwr Cod Post y dref mae hi'n troi mannau sydd wedi'u hanwybyddu yn lleoedd o liw, llawenydd a chysylltiad. Gweler beth mae hi'n ei dyfu a pham ei fod yn bwysig. @foecymrucydd.bsky.social

Gwych i weld y bil newydd yma i warchod ein amgylchedd a sefydlu Swyddfa Llywodraethu Amgylcheddol Cymru. Mae gan bawb yr hawl i amgylchedd iach, felly rhaid i'r bil fod yn ddigon cryf i warchod pobl a natur. www.bbc.co.uk/cymrufyw/ert...

Great to see this new bill to protect our environment and to set up an Office of Environmental Governance Wales. Everyone deserves a right to a healthy environment, so the bill must be strong enough to protect nature and people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Mae cynnig Ffos y Fran yn ‘fradychiad’ meddai ymgyrchwyr lleol. Mae cannoedd o bobl leol wedi gwrthwynebu’r cynllun ‘adfer’ diwygiedig ar gyfer pwll glo brig Ffos y Fran, sy’n cael ei ystyried gan Gyngor Merthyr Tudful ar hyn o bryd. foe.cymru/cy/mae-cynni... @coalactionuk.bsky.social

Rhaid cadw cymunedau'n ddiogel rhag tomenni glo. Ond nid cwmnïau sy'n gwerthu'r glo dan gochl ei wneud yn ddiogel yw'r ateb. Gallai hyn arwain at ddiwydiant glo newydd peryglus a fyddai’n cael effaith ofnadwy ar gymunedau lleol a’r hinsawdd. foe.cymru/cy/rhaid-i-f...

Communities must be kept safe from coal tips. But companies selling the coal under the guise of making them safe is not the answer. This could lead to a dangerous new coaling industry would have a terrible impact on local communities and the climate. foe.cymru/waless-coal-...

Congratulations to @BlaenauGwentCBC on achieving Bee Friendly status 👏👏 Launched in 2016 by Welsh Government and Friends of the Earth Cymru, this Wales-only scheme helps bees and other pollinators under threat. www.wales247.co.uk/blaenau-gwen...

This bill is crucial to keep communities living near coal tips safe. We hope the Senedd votes in favour of it progressing to Stage 2 today. We support the @senedd.wales recommendations to amend the bill. Coal tips must not be used as an excuse to start a new coaling industry.

Today we were in Ferndale for the launch of the #PostcodeGardener project, an exciting programme being rolled out by @friends-earth.bsky.social and The Co-operative Bank. It was great to meet Lisa Morgan & her team of volunteers who are in the process of creating a sensory garden and lots more!

Ddoe cyflwynon ni i Gyngor Merthyr dros 200 o wrthwynebiadau i'r cynnig gwan i 'adfer' Ffos y Fran sydd wedi ei israddio'n aruthrol. Nid yw'r bobl y buom yn siarad â nhw ym Merthyr eisiau twll peryglus yn llawn dŵr. Gwrandewch arnynt. Adferwch Ffos y Fran, fel yr addawyd.

Yesterday we gave Merthyr Council over 200 local objections to the massively downgraded Ffos y Fran 'restoration' proposal. People we spoke to in Merthyr don't want to be left with a massive, dangerous hole full of water. Please listen: restore this site, as promised. @coalactionuk.bsky.social

Yn y 60au a'r 70au fe wnaeth y cwmni Americanaidd Monsanto ddympio PCBs mewn gwahanol safleoedd ar draws Cymru. Mae cymunedau yng Nghymru yn byw gyda'r effaith. Yn y blog hwn, mae Hana Khan yn sgwrsio ag ymgyrchwyr lleol yng Nghaerffili i ddarganfod mwy. foe.cymru/cy/archwilio...

Bydd yn rhyddhad mawr i gymunedau fel Cwmtyleri y bydd gwaith yn dechrau i wella diogelwch mewn safleoedd tipiau glo. Ond nid yw £34m yn ddigon i gadw cymunedau sy'n byw yn agos at dipiau glo yn saff. www.bbc.co.uk/cymrufyw/ert...

It will be a huge relief to communities like Cwmtillery that work will begin to improve safety at 130 coal tips sites. £34M, however, is not enough to ensure all communities living in the shadow of dangerous coal tips are kept safe. @coalactionuk.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rhwydi plastig mewn tyweirch glaswellt? Ddim yn syniad da o gwbl! Mae adar a bywyd gwyllt arall yn cael eu dal ynddo, ac mae'n torri i lawr yn y pridd, gan achosi mwy o ficroblastigau yn yr amgylchedd. Gadewch i ni ei wahardd. Llofnodwch y ddeiseb deisebau.senedd.cymru/deisebau/246...
