Eco Council

Eco Council aims to bring ideas together to share best practice and find alternative solutions to many of the areas that we find modern politics ignores

[WWF Climate and Energy @climateWWF]

The #G7 knows that the easiest way to phase out all fossil fuels… is to phase out all fossil fuels!

To keep 1.5°C within reach, we must:
✅ rapidly cut *actual emissions* & scale up solutions like renewables
❌ NOT rely on unproven carbon management tech like CDR, CCS, CCUS.

[US Nature4Climate @US_N4C]

We're moving in the right direction! Salt marsh conservation and restoration is also an important #NaturalClimateSolution. Win-win 👏 #BlueCarbon

@reading_greens @_Jameslloyd @PhilipRBox @ReadingCouncil @getreading @rdgchronicle This is not about selective removal of noxious weeds but a conscious management decision to use herbicide over grass cutters. People should be held to account. #glyphosate is a toxic chemical and should not be used around schools and playgrounds.

[Philip Box @PhilipRBox]

@_Jameslloyd @ReadingCouncil @getreading @reading_greens @rdgchronicle Things Reading council can afford:
✅ litres of poisonous weedkiller for near playgrounds
✅ Hired tractors to mangle the hedges and cut the grass

Things they can't afford:
❌ Emptying park bins before they overflow
❌ Wildflower Meadows

@GreenRupertRead Serious question? Why would you want to go to the effort? Not sure I understand the problem that they are trying to solve? #nature

One of the most important topics at UN climate summit #COP24 is Public Engagement, and we were delighted to not only share our insights but also engage in conversation with participants at this Side Event - watch the recording https://t.co/aGoILEQnpk

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

The @IPCC_CH report on #GlobalWarming of 1.5°C is one of the most important #climatechange reports ever published. Limiting temperature increase requires unprecedented changes in society, but will have huge benefits. Every half a degree of warming matters. https://t.co/a7GOzVFv50

When politics tolerates falsehood and deceit and promotes to those who champion lies, democracy becomes vulnerable and fragile
