Today we’re launching a campaign asking @ManCityCouncil to ban high carbon advertising. They’ll be joining councils like Norwich, North Somerset and Liverpool if they do #badvertsMCR https://t.co/S1VXTg6fo7

[Global Justice Now @GlobalJusticeUK]

On 27 October we're welcoming @mitzijonelle, Filipina climate campaigner and former youth climate strike organiser, to Manchester. She'll be talking about the @fossiltreaty and winning a just transition with @nickdearden75, Charlotte Smith (PCS and @campaigncc) and Ameira Sawas. More: https://t.co/UCDIkJ6aub

@bryn_mainwaring @paul_bower @WalkRideGM Obligatory re-upping of this https://t.co/2jlvdKl8XV

[Climate Emergency Manchester @ClimateEmergMcr]

@bryn_mainwaring @paul_bower @WalkRideGM ....all of that falls away and they are happy to approve the building of the most absurd structures; energy intensive in both build and use, providing no additional affordable housing to the city, making life worse for the people who already live in the area...the list goes on

[Climate Emergency Manchester @ClimateEmergMcr]

@bryn_mainwaring @paul_bower @WalkRideGM ...and a road / highway system that puts the needs and safety of pedestrians and cyclists first.
However we see over and over again that no matter the 'fine words' about prioritising "sustainable development", when a developer comes knocking wanting to build fancy apartments...

[Climate Emergency Manchester @ClimateEmergMcr]

@paul_bower @BarnabasCalder @FlorianUrban_ Yep, it'll definitely be using low carbon steel and low carbon glass, because those are both definitely things that exist.....right?

[Climate Emergency Manchester @ClimateEmergMcr]

@paul_bower @DameSarahStorey @AndyBurnhamGM @bevcraig @CllrTR @WalkRideGM Apparently politically impossible to be seen to be at all against motorists in the UK. Whereas cyclists (or would-be cyclists), pedestrians, anyone with respiratory problems or who lives near a main road, can all take a running jump. Cars = modernity, in MCC + other councils 🤬

If you want to see how little has happened in #Manchester to do with #climate in the last 5 years, read on https://t.co/TfRk3lGw9M

European Capital of Cycling (Manchester) hasn’t really done anything of note or worth for Active Travel on the A6 yet either. Stockport aren’t alone in their inaction

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, considerably older than Stonehenge that is vandalised more frequently 👇

@McrClimate @ManMetUni @timeshighered And yet Ryebank Fields is still at risk of development? 🤔🤬 @ryebankfields

[Save RyeBank Fields 🍃💚🍃 @ryebankfields]

@ClimateEmergMcr And how about @ManCityCouncil and @AndyBurnhamGM pledge to protect all (carbon sequestering) urban green space from destruction, and @ManMetUni pledge either to give #RyebankFields back to the people, or dig out that ‘lost’ covenant and pledge to protect them in perpetuity?

Once more we have the Manchester Climate….thingy exhorting the citizens and businesses of Manchester, this time to “step up” https://t.co/pe04D5JAQ0

[Climate Emergency Manchester @ClimateEmergMcr]

@ManCity @ElectricityNW @WatesGroup @Bruntwood_UK @MAG_PressOffice ...and made waves about how it was the Partnership that got them to that point. Imagine if we got some actual leadership on #climate in #Manchester. end 🧵

🌍 Manchester, let's Step Up for Zero Carbon!

Over the coming months we'll be highlighting how Manchester is stepping up for zero carbon and how you can get involved too.

Step up and see what you can do: https://t.co/59KEP8AF69

[Climate Emergency Manchester @ClimateEmergMcr]

@ManCity @ElectricityNW @WatesGroup @Bruntwood_UK @MAG_PressOffice Imagine the number of people who would pay attention if ManCity stopped flying to domestic games, and actually talked about that before a match. Imagine if some large builders really showed commitment to dropping gas altogether...
