In the Marks & Spencer Christmas food catalogue it offers a ‘leg of lamb’ (not cheap).
What breed of sheep was it?
Where did the sheep live?
What did the sheep eat?

You wouldn’t just put ‘wine’ or ‘whiskey’ with no explanation.
Consumers need more information about their food

Worcester's flood wall is a vivid reminder of how Climate Change has made the flood level gradually higher each time... oh hang on...

[Nathan Atkinson @NathanAtkinson1]

@herdyshepherd1 Some drop lower than others though.. 👀

@ConistonAFC @Paddy_Maher 👏 talk us through the goal.. my bet is either a header from corner or pinball in the box?

@MadeInAmbleside @BrightsideInsur Perhaps because the car is worth more and would therefore cost more for them to replace should it be damaged in an accident?

How about @Cambridge_Uni does a full carbon audit of all its activities - its campus, travel, land holdings, port, and investments, and then does something meaningful about climate change

And we could do the same... oh, we already did... we are sequestering carbon not emitting

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

Thanks @Cambridge_Uni for banning my grass-fed beef - how about addressing the primary causes of climate change, divesting your investment portfolio of fossil fuel burning activities, & changing your 17,000 hectares of fairly sterile arable land?
These are my fields
Show me yours

@JohnOberg Don’t think so.. this is where mine comes from!
