Progress. Now BP needs to be ‘socially challenged’ to have an adequate definition of ‘net zero carbon’ that includes all upstream and downstream emissions and where all ‘offsets’ are carbon removals in addition to what would be required for 1.5 degrees without their footprint.

[Jane Wilson @CumbriaJane]

@friends_earth So does peat bog restoration- in fact it's better at carbon capture and what trees do you want? Massed ranks of conifers?? Why aren't you highlighting the good stuff owners are doing with this too? #treesarenttheonlyoption!

[Jane Wilson @CumbriaJane]

@treesandweeds @guyshrubsole @agricology Tree planting is not the only way to capture carbon. Peatbogs used to be drained to plant conifer plantations to- bad for biodiversity. UU have been restoring peat bogs across the north west- improves water quality improve biodiversity and capture carbon. Why criticise them?

[Jane Wilson @CumbriaJane]

@guyshrubsole @fionaharvey just read the guardian article re planting trees. Peat bog is a great carbon sink too. @unitedutilities has been restoring its peat bogs for years instead of monoculture pine forests. Tree planting is not the only way land can be used to hold carbon!!!!

Did you know that a healthy population of earwigs can kill as many aphids as three rounds of insecticide spray? Put down the chemicals and garden naturally. #ActionForInsects

At the moment, the best way to explore the stunning hay meadows at Bowberhead Farm, our newest nature reserve, is by immersing yourself in this wonderful 360-degree virtual tour, created by Colin Aldred/Aerial Artwork 👉 https://t.co/S3xRRyftXX #haymeadows #wildercumbria

Scottish Greens MSP @AlisonJohnstone says the grouse shooting industry 'reacted with fury' after she secured increased protection for mountain hares. She's undeterred, of course. https://t.co/bIfQEXe406

Great footage of orcas from Shetland to kick off #NationalMarineWeek!

We often forget about the abundance and diversity of cetaceans around British coasts 🐬

Look what happens in our towns when a space is left for nature! These stunning bee orchids were photographed by David Coward in Barrow-in-Furness earlier in the summer.

@MikeBernersLee I've got two! Donald and Boris. I've just started a course with the Cambridge Institute of Sustainable Living. Just the foundation part about the science facts make grim reading. We must #buildbackbetter!

Watch the whole thing if you can.@JohnJCrace doesn't mention the comments towrads the end about the countries that have done better are those who properly find Public Health provision..
