With a great focus being set on cutting #carbonemissions, are we limiting our hopes of stabilising the climate by disregarding the control of #methane?
Shockingly, methane "is responsible for 23% of the rise in temperatures since pre-industrial times".

NEW: Despite reduced use, pesticides’ deadly impacts on bees has DOUBLED in the last 10 years. That’s because pesticides are still toxic (surprise!).

If we want to #SavetheBees, we must keep poisonous pesticides off the market. Period.

There are shocking examples in #Seaspiracy of "conservation" groups collaborating in the destruction of marine life. But in my view the worst of all is @RSPCA_official. It was founded to defend animals. Instead, it endorses mass slaughter by salmon farms. https://t.co/xRKleY3EVI

While consumers may choose to purchase “sustainably” sourced #fish products, a study in 2018 found 40% of products where mislabelled and inaccurate, increasing inadvertent consumption of threatened species - a result of poor regulation and #corruption!

I recommend #Seaspiracy documentary out on #Netflix!

It’a a harsh eye opener into the shocking reality of the fraudulent #seafood industry.

One may start to wonder: Is there really such a thing as a “#sustainable” fishery?

SEASPIRACY IS NOW ON NETFLIX! Please watch, share and spread the word. #seaspiracy

In the lead up to #COP26, we are far from achieving our #carbonemissions targets. Greater urgency and added pressure must be put on our stakeholders to ensure sufficient mitigation protocols are enforced with a shift to #GreenRecovery and #GreenGrowth to reduce pollution.

A Silent Killer

#AirPollution is attributed to millions of preventable illnesses per year (e.g. Alzheimer's, stroke, asthma). Its increased risk of chronic diseases has left polluted areas of the world more vulnerable to the respiratory virus, #COVID19.

These are the #skylark nesting areas in #RichmondPark - Lawn Field between Pen Ponds & White Lodge, Crown Field between the sports pitches and White Lodge/Bone Copse. In these areas please stick to paths & keep dogs on a short lead so we can give them the best chance to breed.

Freshwater fish make up 51% of all fish species. These dazzlingly diverse species are important for ecosystems, communities, and economies, but are often overlooked. Here are five facts you should know about freshwater fish. https://t.co/gmDTsG1qsV

[Miranda S @MirandaStibora]

#Conservation efforts are more often focused on species with greater public interest. But what about our forgotten, less desired #species?

Pollution, overfishing, climate change and irrigation are having a catastrophic effect on our #freshwater species!

In 2020, #AirPollution estimated to cause 160,000 deaths in the top 5 big cities and $85 billion losses. #CleanEnergy and transport are the best solutions for cleaning the air and it's #cheaper. Why the countries yet stick to harmful #FossilFuel? https://t.co/smPx6AuGcz
