Have you ever heard of #biochar? It's pretty awesome and an important method of carbon capture, a tool in the box against the climate crisis. Watch my interview with Simon Manley, @FutureForestCo Head of Carbon, to find out more!#ClimateEmergency#EarthDay https://t.co/oVJIVH4alO
Happy #EarthDay!!🌏🌍🌎
🌊Seagrass captures carbon 35 times faster than rainforests
🌱UK peatlands store 3.2 billion tonnes of carbon
🌳UK woodlands soak up around 21 million tonnes of carbon a year
It's time to treasure our precious natural world. We need it more than we know.
The video is launched! Head over to @FutureForestCo YouTube to watch me interviewing Dr Jim Reilly about reforestation in the UK! #EarthDay2021#EarthDay https://t.co/dybQBzilMr

Dear councils, this year please don't over-mow or weedkiller wildflowers in public places. Let's ease up on 'neat & tidy' and give life a chance! This film by our daughter @izbunting shows the richness of life in just one tiny patch of dandelions 🐝🐞
Over 1,000 koalas have been killed from the fires & that 80 percent of their habitat has been destroyed, leaving them functionally extinct https://t.co/EL8c8GgXhO
What other species are functionally extinct due to the #forestfires in Indonesia, Brazil, etc? We don’t know, do we?
Is red meat back on the menu? No, because despite controversy over its effects on human health, it is certainly extremely bad for our planet’s health 🌍 https://t.co/nRjN2LPbkh
Rainforests are being destroyed for palm oil production, fuelling #climatechange and the #NatureEmergency. Orangutans are one of the species at risk - they're getting wiped out. Please share this @BBCEarth film to raise awareness and find out more!
“People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction. And all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!”My speech in UN General Assembly in print https://t.co/8wYyCa4H01
Britain has lost endless miles of hedgerow over the past 50 years. Wildlife habitats destroyed, carbon dioxide-soaking plants gone, the countryside left bleaker and uglier. If you can plant even a small native hedge, please do. If you have one already, please look after it!
