Every time you choose local, you’re not just supporting farmers, you’re nourishing your community and helping create a healthier, more resilient food system. ✨ Fresh food. Stronger communities. A thriving planet. #LocalFood #ClimateAction #EatSeasonal #SustainableLiving #CommunityPower

Let’s set the record straight on local food!

Want to make a difference with what you eat? 🥦 Here’s your Local Food Action Checklist! Every small action adds up. Your next meal can be good for you, your community, and the planet. 🌍 #ClimateAction #EatLocal #SustainableChoices

Did you know the average meal travels 1,500+ miles before it reaches your plate? Choosing food produced closer to home is one of the simplest ways to cut your carbon footprint — and it tastes better too! Local where possible, nearby when necessary.

“You get food right, you get a lot of things right.” 🎙️Join our host Isabelle Sparrow and special guest co-host Kiloran O’Leary, from Sustain, for Produce Local Food, the latest in the series Do Something Bigger. #CarbonCopyPodcast #ProduceLocalFood #GrowLocal #SeasonalFood #BigLocalAction

Affordable, reliable public transport isn’t just a climate solution — it’s a fairness issue. When fares fall, ridership rises, congestion drops, and emissions shrink. It’s time to make trains the obvious, accessible choice for everyone. 🌍 #PublicTransport #ClimateAction #FairFares #NetZero

Reliable, affordable, clean public transport is possible — and it starts with demand, good design, and fair funding. Share this to keep the conversation moving. #MythBusting #PublicTransport #FairFares #BetterBuses #RailForAll

☀️You might be a sun worshipper or a shade-seeker, but high temperatures with no relief carry health impacts and make day-to-day life more challenging. 🥵 #Heatwaves #Summer #UrbanHeat #DroughtResilience #HosepipeBan #WaterEfficiency #Soil #Wildfires #GreenInfrastructure #BigLocalActions

“It’s hard work—but it’s joyful work.” 💬 In this week’s Carbon Copy Podcast, we explore what it really means to take community ownership — of farms, fields, and futures.

Rewilding isn’t just about remote nature reserves – it starts in our own neighbourhoods. From skipping the mow to supporting species reintroductions, small actions can unlock big benefits for people and the planet. 🌍🌼

Did you know? 🟢 Only 3% of the UK’s wildflower meadows remain — that’s a 97% loss since the 1930s. 🟢 The UK is ranked in the bottom 10% globally for biodiversity intactness. 🟢 Rewilded land can capture up to 10 times more carbon than intensively farmed land

Protecting and enhancing nature is a key part of tackling the climate and ecological emergency. Check out our Biodiversity section for actions councils are taking - including #NoMowMay and many more - councilclimatescorecards.uk/sections/s5_...

🎙️New Carbon Copy Podcast episode: Rewild Land Hear from Steve Micklewright @treesforlife.bsky.social and Lottie Trewick (nattergal) about why restoring natural habitats and biodiversity in the UK is not only desirable - it's critical - for people, wildlife AND the economy.

Did you know the UK Government releases emissions data 18-months late? The figures from 2023 have only JUST come out. Read our piece about this lag to learn more: pressreleasehub.pa.media/article/the-... @theguardian.com @mirror.co.uk @the-independent.com @thetimes.com @telegraphnews.bsky.social

On Wednesday 9 July, people from across the UK are coming together for The Climate Coalition's mass lobby event, #ActNowChangeForever. The goal? 10,000 people meeting their MP, locally or in Westminster, to call for urgent and fair action on climate and nature.

Meet Izzy Sparrow, our Head of Communications and host of the Carbon Copy Podcast! 🎙️ Izzy brings creativity, heart, and purpose to everything she does — from sharing powerful climate stories to working towards a better world for future generations.

How much difference can policy really make? When bold legislation meets long-term commitment, real change follows. 👇 Learn more: carboncopy.eco/takeaction/l... #LobbyForChange #ClimatePolicy #NatureRecovery #ClimateJustice #BigLocalActions

🌍 Local climate action is leading the way — but we need national policy to keep up. Whether it’s backing the Climate & Nature Bill, joining campaigns like Race to Zero, or pushing for more community power, your voice can shape what happens next.

🌊 Protect Our Shores: Myth vs Fact From farm fields to the deep ocean trench—what happens in one part of nature affects us all. 🌍 Let’s protect our shores by looking upstream, downstream, and everywhere in between. Learn more: carboncopy.eco/takeaction/p... #ProtectOurShores #BigLocalActions

Sir David Attenborough reminds us that the ocean, our planet's life support system, has an incredible ability to heal—if we allow it. From absorbing carbon dioxide to supporting biodiversity, healthy oceans are vital for all life on Earth.

🌊 Beneath the surface, powerful solutions are taking root. In this reel, discover the Stronger Shores project — where marine habitats like seagrass, kelp forests, and oyster beds are being studied as natural defences against coastal flooding and storm surges.

🌊 With the UN Ocean Conference 2025 happening, there’s no better time to talk about how the sea touches every part of our lives. #UNOC2025 #ProtectOurShores #BigLocalActions #NatureBasedSolutions #OceanClimateAction

🌊 The ocean connects us all — and next week (9-13 June), the world is gathering to protect it. As leaders head to the UN Ocean Conference 2025 in Nice, we’re spotlighting the local solutions that are already making waves across the UK.

🌊 “Changing anything for marine conservation is always social and political.” In our latest podcast episode, we dive into how public pressure and local action can shape the future of our seas.

🚲 MYTH vs FACT: Walking and Cycling 🔸 Myth: Cycling is only for athletes or hobbyists. ✅ Fact: With the right infrastructure, everyone can cycle short local trips safely — regardless of age or ability.

More people are reclaiming cycling as what it’s always been: a simple, joyful, and low-carbon way to get around. No lycra required. No judgement. Just freedom.

🚲 Cycling for confidence, connection and opportunity. Cycle of Life is doing more than getting people on bikes — it’s opening up new paths for employment, independence and community in Liverpool’s Toxteth neighbourhood.

🚲 The data is in — and it’s moving. Walking and cycling are not just good for us, they’re powerful climate tools. 💚 Lower emissions 🧠 Better brains 🏙️ Healthier, safer cities

Active travel can really get you places! Switch to walking and cycling and feel the benefits.

🚲"Everyone needs to have safe walking and cycling options right from their home"🚶‍➡️ In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast, Isabelle Sparrow is joined by special guest host Izzy Romilly, Sustainable Transport Research & Campaign Manager at @wearepossible.bsky.social‬

Everyone should be able to walk, cycle or wheel safely from their front door. In this episode of the @carboncopyeco.bsky.social Podcast, Izzy Romilly joins Isabelle Sparrow to discuss what’s needed to make active travel a safe & accessible option for more people. 🎧 carboncopy.eco/podcasts/wal...

🌼 Two weeks of BIG local action on green space and nature — here’s what we learned: 🧠 Green space improves our mental and physical health 🌍 Nature-based solutions help fight climate change

🌱 Think creating space for nature isn’t for you? Think again. 🧠 It helps our wellbeing. 🦋 It restores ecosystems. 🏙️ And it belongs everywhere — especially in our cities.

✨ “If you want to help people heal, you have to give them somewhere to root and grow.” At Cynon Organic Adventures, a once-overgrown patch of land has become a thriving green haven — growing food, community, and connection.

🌼 CHALLENGE YOURSELF: Bring nature back into your neighbourhood. Did you know? 80% of local authorities have reduced mowing or created wildflower habitat in their area.

🌱 Nature heals — and it helps us adapt to a changing world. It's Mental Health Awareness Week this week, so we're exploring how spending time outdoors, in green spaces can help us to feel better.

🌱 Nature heals — and it helps us adapt to a changing world. It's Mental Health Awareness Week this week, so we're exploring how spending time outdoors, in green spaces can help us to feel better.

💚 “When we restore nature, we restore ourselves.” Just 20 minutes in nature a day has a positive impact on our mental health and wellbeing, yet in some areas - often those with the lowest incomes - people are struggling to access the benefits that nature can bring.

🍽️ What we learned in 2 weeks of BIG local action on food waste: 🥕 Surplus food isn’t waste—it’s opportunity 🥫Organisations like @FareShareUK and @hellohubbub are redistributing millions of meals

🍞 Surplus food = spoiled food? Not even close. Let’s bust a few myths: ❌ Myth: “Surplus food is unsafe.” ✅ Fact: Most surplus is simply nearing its best-before date, overstocked, or imperfect.

This is the uncomfortable truth behind food waste. It’s not about quality. It’s about economics. 💸 Perfectly edible food is discarded every day—not because it’s unsafe, but because it’s easier and cheaper to bin than to redistribute.

🥕 CHALLENGE YOURSELF: Could you help fight food waste where you live? 💡 Try one (or more!) of these this week: ✅ Visit or volunteer at on of Hubbub's local community fridges ✅ Encourage your work to use food waste aware caterers like Fooditude and Open Kitchen

🥕✨ Turning surplus into something magical. Step inside the The Magic Hat Cafe —where every dish is made entirely from food that would’ve otherwise gone to waste.

Only 61% councils provide kerbside food waste collection, yet by next year new rules means all councils must provide this service. Will they? Find out more about #FoodWaste with @carboncopyeco.bsky.social, @wwf.org.uk & @carbonliteracy.bsky.social at carboncopy.eco/takeaction/r...

Surplus food really is a problem - that's why our friends at the Stroud Trinity Rooms take surplus food from supermarkets and create meals to feed the community and those who need it - giving back to the community whilst tackling food waste!

🥕 Waste less. Share more. Let’s rethink surplus food. In the UK, we waste 10 million tonnes of food every year—while millions face hunger. But surplus food isn’t bad food. It’s good food in the wrong place.

🍽️ Food waste isn’t just a climate issue—it’s a justice issue. In this powerful episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast, host Isabelle Sparrow and producer Bradley Ingham speak to four brilliant changemakers tackling food waste and food inequality head-on.
