Hounslow Borough Friends of the Earth is part of a movement to create a safer climate, reduce pollution and help nature flourish. Come and join us!

Coal must be consigned to history books, along with the UK government’s harmful and outdated addiction to fossil fuels.

The fight is not over.

#NoNewCoal #ClimateAction

[Hounslow Borough Friends of the Earth @HBFOE]

The UK government have just approved planning permission for a new coal mine in Cumbria.

This is an appalling decision. This is a misguided and deeply damaging mistake. #NoNewCoal #ClimateAction

[Hounslow Borough Friends of the Earth @HBFOE]

West Cumbria deserves far better than this.

Investing in cheap renewables and energy efficiency would put the region at the forefront of growing a clean, affordable and energy secure future – creating thousands of green jobs and opportunities locally. #NoNewCoal #ClimateAction

[Hounslow Borough Friends of the Earth @HBFOE]

The mine isn’t needed, will add to global climate emissions, and won’t replace Russian coal.

Scientists are clear that new fossil fuel projects are not compatible with meeting global climate goals to limit warming to 1.5C. #NoNewCoal #ClimateAction

[Hounslow Borough Friends of the Earth @HBFOE]

Governments worldwide are increasingly facing legal challenges for not meeting climate commitments, inc. recent ruling that UK gov's net zero strategy, fell short of meeting obligations under Climate Change Act. @ClientEarth @friends_earth @GoodLawProject https://t.co/CFrz66EVlR

How to survive the #heatwave:

1. Stay out of the sun during the hottest parts of the day ☀️
2. Keep hydrated 💧
3. Join the movement to end investment in fossil fuels ❌

What a win for @ClientEarth @friends_earth @GoodLawProject. The UK has until March 2023 to publish a net zero strategy that will actually detail how the UK will deliver emissions reductions and transition to a low carbon economy. #ClimateEmergency #ParisAgreement

[ClientEarth @ClientEarth]

BREAKING: We won our case against the UK gov's inadequate net zero strategy!

On the hottest day on record in the UK, the High Court has ruled that the government’s Net Zero Strategy breaches the Climate Change Act.

This is a landmark victory.

@LBofHounslow its time to show real climate leadership and divest your pension fund from fossil fuels!

[UK Divest @UKDivest]

Campaigners across the capital have been calling for divestment for years and have not seen decisive action from their funds.

What will @CityHallLabour do to make it happen?

@divesthackney @HBFOE @HillingdonFOE @Croydon_FoE @DivestCamden @DivestEnfield @FFNewham @towerhdivest

Moored off Yemen’s Red Sea coast, the FSO Safer is a supertanker in advanced state of decay that will break apart or explode if the world does not act. It would cost $20 billion to clean up. The UN is ready to stage an emergency operation. https://t.co/V7m9e2Fzdc

Great film narrated by @stephenfry warning about the dangers of #plasticpollution and the need for more research into its effects.

[Common Seas @CommonSeas]

Knowledge is power! The more we know about the risk plastic poses to our health, the harder we can push for CHANGE. That's why we're calling for the UK Gov't to fund urgent research!

Like and RT our animation voiced by @stephenfry if you agree.

#PlasticIsInOurBlood

[Hounslow Borough Friends of the Earth @HBFOE]

UK companies are trashing the environment and wrecking the lives of people overseas through their global supply chains - and UK law lets them do it. We need a new #BizHumanRights law to make them accountable. Sign @friends_earth petition if you agree: https://t.co/Q2kER0hZ51

I just took part in the #BigPlasticCount, UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste. Here’s what I found really happens to my plastic waste:

♻️13% recycled
🌍19% sent abroad
🔥44% burnt
⛰️24% sent to landfill

This is shocking, right?! @Jochurchill_MP @pow_rebecca

[Hounslow Borough Friends of the Earth @HBFOE]

Great work by @LondonFOE to extend ULEZ so everyone across London can breathe cleaner air. @MayorofLondon there's no time to lose! Retweet your support and make sure Sadiq Khan knows!

[Friends Of The Earth London Network @LondonFOE]

Today, the @MayorofLondon launched a consulation to expand the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) to the whole of London. We and these other amazing organisations support a London-wide #ULEZ4Health 🫁 please let him know you support it too by 29th July!
