watch this. it's so important and bloody mind blowing

[Channel 4 @Channel4]

Hugh challenges Rishi about hitting net zero.

The Great Climate Fight, stream now on Channel 4 #ClimateFight

[Mary Portas OBE @maryportas]

The Great Climate Fight airs tonight at 9:15pm on Channel 4, with the second episode on Wednesday.

Despite the fight with those in power and their ‘Don't give a shit’ attitude to the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced, this small but important series is about hope.

The Climate Change Committee has given us all the guidelines and detailed rigorous insights to achieve net zero. But there's a blockage. And it's Rishi Sunak and his government.

But here’s the thing: not only do we have all the answers we need. There are many of us and many businesses that are taking it upon themselves to make positive, meaningful change – becoming powerful forces for good in society and for our planet. And of course there are many of us in our daily lives making considered and conscious choices that have great impact.

So let's join together. Watch, learn and get involved. Let's respond curiously, kindly and bravely.

Let’s harness our wisdom, creativity and innovation and let’s make this happen. For us. For our children. And for this beautiful planet we call home.

This is what is within our reach.

And we can and must make the moral imaginative leap to make it happen.

We could stop climate change – and the solutions to it could benefit us all.

Tune in tonight at 9.15pm to watch The Great Climate Fight on Channel 4. #ClimateFight #ChangeClimate

surely there should be some sort of scheme here that gives support to the small businesses as the big cream profits and put our locals at risk of closure. come on you fat cats. do something sensible and decent for society

[joanne hart @joannemidas]

Shame on @BritishGas and other energy firms, refusing to budge as small firms struggle - @ofgem, @fsb_policy, @biztradegovuk ...as power charges could see 100,000 firms go under https://t.co/sNXd03RlSY

My brilliant co-presenter on Big Climate Fight is highlighting the barriers to cleaner, greener wind energy.

[Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall @HughFW]

The people of Welwyn Hatfield, constituency of so-called Net Zero minister @grantshapps, are waking up to these posters, which I pasted up in the small hours of the morning. If you agree with the message, please spread as widely as possible! #climatefight #onshorewind

[Everything Electric @Everyth1ngElec]

Been banging on about this for a decade, finally, thankfully, Channel 4 and the amazing @maryportas are doing something about the obscene 'tax breaks' (subsidies) we give the fossil fuel industry.
And yes, the big red bus is electric

[Mary Portas OBE @maryportas]

I tried the Treasury but @jeremy_hunt wasn't available to chat. The work doesn’t stop here though. So much energy and passion on this. Let’s keep the conversation going. And call for a rethink on these enormous tax breaks. Business and government have to do better in future. And play their part in a cleaner, greener future for us all. #climatefight #savetheplanet

[Mary Portas OBE @maryportas]

The future of business is people, planet AND profit. #climatefight #savetheplanet

[Mary Portas OBE @maryportas]

I’ve emailed @jeremy_hunt I’ve asked for a meeting. But so far, nothing. So I’ve had to get on the - electric - bus. Hopefully he’ll notice me + 40ft of slogan. (Remind you of anything?) #climatefight #savetheplanet

[Mary Portas OBE @maryportas]

I’m heading to the Treasury to see if I can persuade @Jeremy_Hunt to chat about all this. And if you want to make your voice heard, message @jeremy_hunt here on Twitter

[Dale Vince @DaleVince]

Wonderful work from @maryportas

With over £10 billion a year spent on fossil fuels by the government, we must end tax breaks for oil and gas companies if we’re serious about saving the planet. Right now we’re paying them to poison us. Act now @Jeremy_Hunt!

#ClimateCrisis #ClimateFight

[Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall @HughFW]

Hey @Jeremy_Hunt We give oil and gas companies £42 million each week in tax breaks! Why not save the planet instead? #climatefight

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

.@Jeremy_Hunt - we give oil and gas companies £42 million each week in tax breaks!

@AlexPerrins i so understand the sadness. we all want thriving high streets. but please do look at the opportunities with the new territory we are now in. local. less. community. connection. always appreciate people caring x

[Mary Portas OBE @maryportas]

@AlexPerrins ooh that’s not what i said at all. lots of independents are thriving on high streets. apologies if you heard a different message from me

[Mary Portas OBE @maryportas]

@etail and extraordinary creativity. that was my full sentence

[Mary Portas OBE @maryportas]

Today in the last episode in this series of Beautiful Misfits, I’m talking to the wonderful @thomasinamiers. Tommi co-founded @wahaca - the chain that had sustainability baked in from the beginning. She’s tireless, inspiring - I loved talking to her.
