Michael Gove just approved a new coal mine in Cumbria.

The first to be opened in Britain in 30 years, its emissions will be equivalent to 200,000 extra cars on our roads every year.

The Tories again show they put the fossil fuel industry before people and planet. Shameful.

RIP to any hope of credible climate action…

'What are you doing in your own life to address climate concerns'

Environment Secretary Therese Coffey told #BBCBreakfast 'cups you can reuse' is an example of things she will 'champion for those habits.. we can do everyday'

@rodericogorman Amazing work! Well done ☺️

[Nadia Reeves Long @NadiaReevesLong]

A single private jet emits 2 tons of CO2 in one hour when the average person in the EU produces approx. 8 tonnes a year. Surely all governments should be considering this:

Our standards are so low…

Have I missed something, how on earth is #ohpolly considered sustainable and not fast fashion??

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Today, millions will suffer not just the systemic failure to prevent climate breakdown, but also the systemic failure to prepare for it. The UK has some of the shoddiest and worst-insulated homes in the rich world. They are fridges in winter and ovens on days like this.

[Sinéad Mercier @sineadmercier]

Important to know that all is not lost. We can still keep below 1.5 degrees warming. To do so requires no new fossil fuel infrastructure - that's a halt on power plants, LNG, grid expansion & a moratorium on data centers until we analyse their impacts. https://t.co/9LLqqSI6pW

400 private jets is a mockery, where is the leadership?

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

A private jet produces 10 times the emissions per person as an economy class flight.

World leaders used 400 private jets for #COP26, emitting as much CO2 as 1,600 Scottish people do a year.

Lifestyle changes should start with the rich and powerful.

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

What’s the UK government’s plastic policy? Dump it on other countries! Less than 10% of our plastic recycling is actually recycled in the UK.
The rest is sent overseas where it’s often burned or dumped, fuelling health and wildlife emergencies.

RT to expose. #Wasteminster 1/5

My wonderful cousin @Romana_Tes, personal trainer and yoga teacher, is hosting a virtual workout class to raise funds for Cooking for Freedom, supporting women in direct provision. Tickets: https://t.co/qH1IBg3yQm

I've had a blood clot caused by medication that women are prescribed every single day without a care in the world. Let's make sure we are careful to properly understand the rare nature of what is being reported.

[Nadia Reeves Long @NadiaReevesLong]

@DiarmuidGBurke Agreed! It’s just about making a point (a petty point)

[Nadia Reeves Long @NadiaReevesLong]

Shocked at the Green Party’s recent actions. This petty bullying at the highest levels is so childish. Why are they trying deepen already damaging divisions?

How can the party expect the trust of the electorate when it can’t even manage itself?

[Nadia Reeves Long @NadiaReevesLong]

It’s also very galling for a party that spent so many years patting themselves on the back about supporting women in politics to immediately renege on this when she doesn’t do exactly as told

[The Female Lead @the_female_lead]

New Zealand just approved a new measure allowing for paid leave after miscarriage. The legislation is believed to be among the first in the world, applying to couples who lose a baby at any point.

[HannahmDeasy @hannahmdeasy]

I used to love #InternationalWomensDay  but a year into the pandemic I feel hollow looking at many #IWD2021  events. Where is paid sick leave? Where is paid maternity & parental leave? Where is publicly funded childcare? These are the things that create #genderequality

[Nadia Reeves Long @NadiaReevesLong]

We have to do better 🌱

[Daniel Murray @DanielTMurray]

Had a little dig around some new data from Eurostat that flew under the radar.

Turns out Ireland is producing the highest volume of plastic waste per person in the EU, while having the fourth worst plastic recycling rate.

Not a great combination.
