#climatechange requires system change no doubt but we can all play a part in this #ClimateEmergency. 👫🌍 'Hope is essential – despair is just another form of denial.' Al Gore 🌱

Something to think about for 2023

[The Global Goals @TheGlobalGoals]

The amount of clothes that we have bought this year has increased by 60%.

Consider what you buy and whether it's really needed. Let's reduce impulse purchases and waste.

[The Climate Coalition @TheCCoalition]

If you care about climate change, you may make choices about everything from the food you eat to the clothes you wear. But where you keep your money matters, too.

Good plan for 2023:

✅ Take action against fossil fuels in your local area

[UK Divest @UKDivest]

Despite 80% of councils having a climate action plan, almost all of them undermine this work by continuing to invest MILLIONS in filthy fossil fuels!

Join our next intro webinar + find out how you can take action against fossil fuels in your local area 👇

Loss and damage is a big conversation at COP27. Rich countries are responsible for 90% of the excess emissions that are causing climate breakdown. Social movements in the global South are rightly demanding compensation for the damage this is causing. https://t.co/QhkvV3WFVi

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

Fossil fuel phase out has been pushed into the #COP27 main decision! Finally we are getting to the bottom line:ending the use of fossil fuels. That would mean progress from COP26.

Now we watch as the COP27 presidency start preparing the text:will they deliver on climate justice?

[ECO B30 @B30Eco]

Ahead of #COP27 this is a reminder of why we need action.

On November 7 there’ll be a summit of world leaders on the greatest challenge of our time and the UK prime minister has decided …not to go #globalbritain #cop27 https://t.co/zzFxeFgHXT

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

The media gets climate change wrong every day. The BBC just said Sunak not going to Cop27 is ‘disappointing for climate activists’. It’s like saying the Titanic hitting the iceberg was disappointing for boat enthusiasts

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

BREAKING 🚨: Shell raked in £8.2 BILLION in profits this quarter.

How many more households need to be forced into fuel poverty before the government properly taxes oil and gas giants?

[Amnesty International @RIerdogan]

Please try to leave some leaves this autumn

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

We should abandon the illusion that politicians will come to the rescue of planet Earth, especially those who delight in calling themselves climate leaders. Time and again they have betrayed the faith that has been placed in them.

I've just signed this petition. Will you add your name and share too?

[Iolo Williams @IoloWilliams2]

Could someone please deliver this simple message to the world’s politicians?

[Little Green Space 🦋 @LGSpace]

Next year, please let the dandelions grow! They support over 50 insects species. They're a great early season food source for pollinators including bees, butterflies and hoverflies. No need to mow. And please don't use weedkiller. RT if you're on board 🐝

[Craig Bennett @CraigBennett3]

Every time you hear the word 'deregulation', think 'more poo in my local river'.

Because, in practice, that is the kind of thing it will mean

Wish we could keep Poli Nations 🤩

[Little Green Space 🦋 @LGSpace]

If we stop over-mowing our gardens, community spaces, green corners and #roadverges, and stop dosing them with weedkiller...

Less work, less fossil fuel use, less cost.

More wildlife, more wildflowers, more insects.
