Love nature and reading

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen.

'There has to be a considerable reduction in meat consumption...otherwise, we're just not going to be keeping within our planetary boundaries.'

@oxmartinschool and @OxPrimaryCare's Prof Peter Scarborough shares his message for #WorldFoodDay:

Two findings published in 2020 suggest that longevity is associated with either increasing plant protein consumption or replacing animal proteins, especially red meat and eggs, with plant protein: https://t.co/GOI7N2irQ7 #HarvardHealth

If we ended industrial animal agriculture, there'd suddenly be more than enough food for everyone, we'd essentially end animal cruelty, no one would die, and we'd take a huge bite out of the climate and ecological emergency. We could do this basically overnight.

According to the University of Oxford:
Going #Vegan is the single biggest thing anyone of us can do to halt #climatechange, reverse deforestation, preserve biodiversity, stop species loss and save the Planet.

According to the UN, the #meat industry is an even greater threat to the planet than the world’s largest oil companies. It also leads to the loss of biodiversity, and is the number one cause of #deforestation

Superbugs resistant to antibiotics are rising fast. I tested water at Lough Neagh (40% of Northern Ireland’s drinking water) & found high levels of antibiotic-resistant genes from human & livestock poo. If we treat waters like sewers, this is what we get. https://t.co/zgi2YkyR6I

Study reports *dramatic* increases in birds and wildlife on rewilded land in Scotland

'Across surveyed sites, suitable habitat for birds increased more than fivefold, while numbers of bumblebees and butterflies rose by more than tenfold.'

Saved a bee 😊 sugar water #bees

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

Rotherham, England replaced 8 miles of mowed grass with wildflowers.

They saved £25,000 in mowing costs a year and bees, butterflies, and birds showed up almost immediately.

You don’t need to wait for your city to act. Start small in your own patch:

🏡 Let your front verge or sidewalk strip go wild this spring

🌻 Toss a few native wildflower seed balls into neglected spots

🌱 Stop mowing one strip and see what shows up

📧 Contact your city government. One email from one person has started initiatives like this before

One person. One small patch. Real habitat.

Your street could be next.

'Buy local’ is often no more than a marketing gimmick

WHAT you buy is far more important
