Climate stats: 2024 NASA study shows Greenland icecap is losing an average of 30million tonnes of ice an hour. This is 20% worse than previously estimated #climate#nasa#icecaps https://t.co/NbKxHI8LER.
LOVE this example of nature inspiring technology: Scientists studied the way the black wings of the ‘common rose’ butterfly absorb sunlight and mirrored the cell structure on solar panel design. Result: twice as much light absorbed! #nature#biomimicry https://t.co/yRr7DQX4K6

Read my article from this weeks @TheGrocer on why the investment in our @waitrose pork farmers is so important & why other still need to do more. 🐷 🇬🇧
We're stepping up our efforts to reduce single use plastic and are leading the way in no longer selling children's magazines containing disposable plastic toys. Magazines offering multiple-use educational, collectables or reusable craft items will still be available.
In 2019 we launched Plan Plastic with @hubbubuk to support projects tackling plastic pollution - from mussels helping stem the flow of microplastics from polluted water to plastic eating fungi. Find out the progress being made by the projects here: https://t.co/aWkhV6g89V
We are proud to support the #QueensGreenCanopy, a UK-wide tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 inviting everyone to #PlantATreeForTheJubilee 🌱

We’re launching a new flexible plastics recycling trial in 37 stores. This means customers can bring clean and dry plastic such as crisp packets, sweet wrappers and plastic film (which aren’t widely recyclable at home) and dispose of them in our designated in-store recycle bins.
We’re unpacking more products! We’ve seen sales of refillables at our four #WaitroseUnpacked stores grow by 9% in the last six months, so we’ve launched more new products, including loose tea for the first time, as well as dried fruit, frozen veg and popcorn.
I’m excited to announce that I'm speaking at the first @marieclaireuk Sustainability Festival on 27 March. The virtual event will give insights and advice on how we can all #startsomewhere in creating sustainable changes to positively impact our planet. https://t.co/iFlao4oMhb

Wasting food feeds climate change 🌍 If everyone in the UK stopped throwing away food for one day, it’d do the same for climate change as taking 14,000 cars off the road for a whole year 😲🚗
