@dorsetwildlife Very surprised to hear this week that you supported plans to build on Highmoor Farm, Poole, next door to Talbot Heath. Fortunately, the application was refused - this time #SaveHighmoorFarm#PreserveTalbotHeath
@QuitSachets In the region of the world I know well it is no longer the case that families can only afford to buy cleaning products and shampoos etc. in small amounts. But that is what they are still supplied. Times change
📣 Unilever, it's time for real change! 🌍
🛑 The current production & distribution of sachets without proper waste management infrastructure are leading to devastating plastic waste pollution in the communities you claim to serve. It's time to #QuitSachets
@EmilyB_Courage@Tobias_Ellwood Such a shame that your current funders TVT plan to build on their farmland rather than using their tens of millions of invested wealth to fund good causes like Poverty Truth Commission #savehighmoorfarm in Poole
#HotOffThePress - Former Unilever CEO admits to making a mistake with #sachets!
Sachets weren't promoted for the 'greater good' of lower income communities, they were pushed out into emerging Asian markets for 'brand recall'.

BCP’s Poverty Truth Commission has been on an incredible listening & discovery journey bringing together local leaders with those who struggle against poverty. Come & hear what’s happened & why it matters at our Celebration Event on 6 July #PovertyTruthBCP

@ChrisGPackham@BBCSpringwatch I wish you would pop over to precious Talbot Heath in Poole to help the campaign to save it from developers wanting to build on Highmoor Farm next door #SaveHighmoorFarm
@BBCSpringwatch Make sure you visit Talbot Heath urban heath nature reserve in Poole while you're in the area. Special and under threat @SaveHighmoorFarm
@TalbotTrust Hooray for Earth Day! Perhaps you could also think about not building your "innovation quarter" over Highmoor Farm, a much valued green space in the heart of Poole. Concrete is never more sustainable than soil
The oil leak in Poole harbour highlights the madness of letting oil companies operate in such sensitive sites. It’s like having a bomb factory next to a school. This wasn’t the first leak by #perenco, Time to retire #WytchFarm https://t.co/NBxBJD6i3M
@TalbotTrust Oh that's easy! I love to walk on Talbot Heath in spring and enjoy views across Highmoor Farm with its gambolling lambs and iconic Highland cattle. Please don't take it away. #SaveHighmoorFarm
Wow. This is brilliant. @ReadingFC use the climate stripes on their website, on their team bus, and the sleeves of their shirts. Amazing. Showing real climate leadership.
