It may not be the biggest concern right now... but have you ever thought about plastic used in our conservation efforts? Coir rolls & tree guards to name a few. There are biodegradable options available. Only you can make the difference #plasticfreeconservation #plasticpollution

Every day my job feels more and more like working your guts out to polish a turd. The government's handling of this is embarrassing.

We are aware River Wye in #Buxton #Derbyshire has in parts been discoloured orange. This is due to groundwater naturally picking up iron from old mine workings. We are not aware of any significant harm to wildlife or environment. If people have concerns call hotline [phone]

[Mike Morris @Mike_Morris_Bio]

We know what to do and how to do it. Give us the resource and the power to remove obsolete weirs!

@YESsnacks Yes it was good :-) but not worth 1.99 when you can buy a chocolate bar for 60p. It doesn't make you want to buy it. Needless to say, there was no pricing label so I didn't know how much it was until it went through the till. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd known

[Dr Lauren Vickers @DrLVickers]

Being #sustainable is expensive and a massive part of the problem. Even saving 25p for using my reuseable cup I have paid £4.23 for a tea and a @YESsnacks bar. Something needs to change! Companies need to make sustainability available to everyone @NottmRlwyStn
