‘Why the world cannot afford the rich
Equality is essential for sustainability. The science is clear — people in more-equal societies are more trusting and more likely to protect the environment than are those in unequal, consumer-driven ones.’

I have worked on microplastic pollution for over 20 years and am not usually shocked by what I find. The millions of microplastic particles we recently encountered while swimming on a family holiday in Europe underscore the urgent need for action. Such images will become normality for us all if nations fail to take the decisive steps needed to end plastic pollution during current UN negotiations in Geneva.

We have failed so many years ago! Not a Single Solar powered plastic to fuel ⛽️device on a fishing ship or informal settlement to make cash 🤑 out of waste and the sun. From now on only helpless and perplexed people.
BREAKING: Gaza spy flights from UK base on Cyprus secretly shift to plane leased by company with billions in US military contracts
New flights are on blocked list, but we tracked US plane over Gaza on 28 July when pilot forgot to turn off transponder for 1st time in 20 months👇
This isn’t just a video it’s a documented crime scene.
What you are witnessing here is not an isolated act of violence. It is a settler in the occupied West Bank, calmly raising a gun and shooting unarmed Palestinian civilian Odeh Hadalin in broad daylight.
This is not just a man pulling a trigger.
This is a state-backed system pulling the trigger one that thrives on impunity, silence, and international complicity.
What do we see in the footage?
An armed Israeli settler walks freely with a pistol.
He aims directly at unarmed civilians.
He fires.
One person falls.
Others scatter in panic.
But this is not “random.” This is:
The result of decades of illegal settlements,
Home demolitions,
Displacement,
And a world that has learned to look away.
We will not look away.
Today, the man with the gun is called Yinon Levi. Tomorrow it may be someone else.
But the real danger is the system that arms them, shields them, and applauds them.
This isn’t “self-defense” it’s policy.
This isn’t about “terrorism” it’s terror.
The bullet that hit Odeh Hadalin wasn’t just meant for him.
It’s aimed at justice, dignity, and humanity itself.
To stay silent is to be complicit.
Empty words cannot hide the truth: your government is complicit in genocide.
We are an unstoppable movement for peace, for justice and for Palestine — and we are never, ever going away.
I cannot state how important it is to understand this, and not just as regards neoliberalism.
Most activists make the mistake of thinking, if they campaign, that they can change something in the system. Not realizing that the system it rigged.

This is the Llynor.
It's one of the cleanest tributaries on the Dee.
No farmyards or sewage treatment works upstream.
And it's mostly forest, a big section being restored to ancient woodland.
But it has a major problem.

I've called on the UK government to step up to its legal and moral obligation to stop ALL arms sales to Israel. This is crucial to help ensure a permanent ceasefire. #StopArmingIsrael https://t.co/nywMvxANBH
US intelligence assessed just weeks ago that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon
“The IC [Intelligence Community] continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamanei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.
The IC is monitoring if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program.” - Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, 25 March 2025
