Recording local heritage and wildlife is important. If we don’t know what we have now, we can’t know what we are losing.

Nature has always had solutions to natural problems. Let nature teach us rather than man destroying & trying to control the consequences of that destruction.

We all can play a role to tread more lightly on the fabric of our world - avoid products containing palm oil as a start which drives alot of deforestation.

🌱 £61m for another bypass while our ecosystems go underfunded. Let's put green infrastructure ahead of road expansion.

@HereforHereford Here’s another inappropriate “bypass” with overspending, flood and drainage issues etc. rather like the one planned for Hereford @CommunityPlann1 @Farnsworth100

@GreenFemsUK Including 60% of Green MPs.
Very disappointing to see so much fearmongering, disrespect for women, misrepresentation of the law, abandoning of feminist analysis and negligence of politicians' safeguarding duties.

@savelibservices @HfdsCouncil People need ask questions of the @HfdsCouncil administration on the current failure to deliver the new library & museum. Next cabinet meeting is 25th June & public questions (<140 words) can be submitted 7 days. Agenda should be published here https://t.co/7J9YHq2kJY

This is cobblers.

The water shortage was a result of SE Water not being able to treat water fast enough to meet increased demand.

A failure of capacity and infrastructure.

@HarryBostock1 @SmartGrowthUK @greenarteries Ah, the favoured trope of developers - 'it's all industrially farmed, so concrete would be better'! How about lobbying for sustainable farming?

[Rosie P 🦇 🦎 🕷️ 🦭 🐌 🍃🌳🚲💧 @RosieP4]

Bonkers is an understatement. Heartless is another (for the inhabitants of the area who will be at the receiving end of compulsory purchase orders, and for the nature that's made homeless). Dangerous is another word (for the 45,000 acres of best and most versatile land taken out of production as food shortages loom). And unnecessary.

[Rosie P 🦇 🦎 🕷️ 🦭 🐌 🍃🌳🚲💧 @RosieP4]

Several interesting things about this article.

Firstly, these are not deserted fields. They are best and most versatile arable land. 45,000 acres of them. They produce FOOD. And given the many food security klaxons sounding currently, we need food producing land and we should not cover it in concrete.

An ecologist says it will take decades for a Herefordshire river to recover from damage by a local farmer.

John Price was jailed for illegally removing tonnes of gravel from the riverbed to build a road and horse yard at his home and tearing out 71 trees.

South East Water warns customers will be cut off as reservoirs run dry.

Neglected investment for years. Siphoned off money to pay dividends.

No national grid for water. No national plan.

Must remove profit motive and shareholders. Need public ownership.

UK sleepwalking into food crisis caused by extreme weather, inflation, impacts of the Iran war.

UK imports food, fertilizer

Poor water/energy infrastructure

Crisis will push more into poverty, risk of unrest.

Abandon neoliberalism, build self-reliance.

If only we could do this in #Hereford which is a small city that can be cycled across in 30mins. @HfdsCouncil @HfdCityCouncil @WalkWheelCycleT @activetraveleng

"Climate is changing. Humans are responsible. And we are experiencing the impacts now. That’s the bad news.

The good news is that solutions already exist, and the majority of people care - 89%, around the world!"

These people are so selfish/self-entitled

[Nicky Geeson 🍃💚🍃💧🧭 @NickyGeeson]

@1goodtern @DrTedros Why do so few see the inward implications of what they are saying? (On so many subjects now.) Or is it that only a few benefited from “critical thinking” at school or college? I keep wanting to flag up “But look at the implications, think it through….

[Rosie P 🦇 🦎 🕷️ 🦭 🐌 🍃🌳🚲💧 @RosieP4]

Same needed for ecologists. We've been calling for this for some time.

[tern @1goodtern]

Imagine this effect across an entire city.
