“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

To say I’m less than impressed by Dublin City Council would be the understatement of the year. On “Car Free Day” they closed just 25 streets out of 4,000. That’s 0.625%. I cycled, walked and ran around Dublin and noticed little, if any, difference. The city was as car-dominated as always.

Absolutely huge!!!! We're only just getting started. Join.greenparty.org.uk

“...We’ve drifted thoughtlessly into a situation where we’ve prioritised the free passage of private motor vehicles through public space over the rights of people of all ages... Play streets are a small practical demonstration that there are other possible worlds...” irishcycle.com/2025/09/11/d...

Listening to Zack Polanski makes me feel so hopeful and energised. Imagine if we had someone like Zack running the country. Let's get changing things! ✨

Ditched Labour and joined the Green Party on the same day. Haven’t felt this optimistic for bloody ages ✌🏼😎

1/3 🧵 As this new report by @publiceye.ch reveals, the @ec.europa.eu’s failure to act, due to pressure from the #pesticide industry giants and their profits, has allowed Europe’s toxic trade to grow larger than ever. www.publiceye.ch/en/topics/pe...

IrishCycle covered the cargo bike rental expansion to the northside over the weekend, but FYI you can give feedback to Dublin City Beta below: irishcycle.com/2025/09/20/c...

😢 How are flights so much cheaper than trains? Indeed, why are we forced to pick between cheap & polluting and expensive & sustainable? Well @greenpeace.eu has the answer: subsidies and MASSIVE tax breaks.

Zusammen mit dem Monitoring-Bericht zur Energiewende hat Katherina Reiche in der letzten Woche einen Zehn-Punkte-Plan vorgestellt. Dieser weist sprachlich wie inhaltlich große Ähnlichkeiten zu einem Papier von RWE und Eon aus dem Frühjahr auf. Ein längerer Thread mit Links und Beispielen. (1/19)

This week’s main story is about ABC’s move to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air, what it has to do with Brendan Carr and the FCC, what it means for free speech in the United States, and why it’s all giving Donald Trump such sweet dreams you could break his bedsheets.

Nothing here should be considered radical. What's the point of a government that isn't trying to make ordinary people's lives better? And obviously we need to maintain a liveable planet.

I'm in!!

We need to lower people's bills and tackle the climate crisis. Labour are happy to give money to big business *and* further climate destruction. Literally everything about this is the entirely wrong decision for everyone but the wealth Labour protects. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The Green Party now has 78,000 members. Thats 10,000+ new members this month alone who want to draw the line. I know there are so many more people who want to take a stand. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

The new leader of @greenparty.org.uk is putting almost every other party leader in the UK to shame, and a lot more politicians besides. When did you hear anything like this from any other party leader?

Children in Northern Ireland spend too much time behind walls and screens, and it’s harming their health and wellbeing. Outdoor education is proven to make them happier, healthier, and more engaged. Other countries already do it - our children deserve the same. #ForestSchool 1/2

Growth 💵 vs Growth 🌱 I know which I prefer. Why does the government think that expanding the air travel industry is even remotely acceptable at this point in the climate crisis 🤷🏼‍♀️

A quick street view reveals the flooding in Penketh isn’t because “the drains don’t work”. It’s because residents paved over their front gardens to park cars. Those gardens used to soak up about 70% of rainfall. They removed the sponge. Now the water’s on their doorstep.

Starmer said in July that the UK would recognise Palestine unless Benjamin Netanyahu took "substantive" steps, including reaching a ceasefire in Gaza, essentially using recognition of Palestinian sovereignty as a threat against Israel. http://jrnl.ie/6822809
