I just wrote a @sbtcoalition letter calling on my MP to support the Stop Burning Trees pledge. The Govt is currently considering handing billions more in subsidies to Drax & Lynemouth to continue burning trees.
Please help!

This label certifies the destruction of the forest and the lives of the uncontacted Mashco Piro people! ♻️❌

@FSC_IC: CANCEL the certification of the Canales Tahuamanu logging company.

Wiping out the Mashco Piro is not sustainable at all!

@NeateDavid @EuanRitchie1 @ConversationEDU Thank you so much David! 'Plants For People' is badly in need of an update - so much has changed in the 21 years since this second edition was published - very sad that the rights and voices of so many indigenous peoples are still so widely ignored.

Canales Tahuamanu logging company is deforesting the uncontacted Mashco Piro people’s land in Peru, putting their lives at risk. @FSC_IC certifies the timber as “sustainable”!
Tell @FSC_IC not to certify timber that destroys the Mashco Piro.

@GeorgeMonbiot @RSPCA_official Thank you so much for this George

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

How Britain’s oldest animal welfare charity became a byword for cruelty on an industrial scale.
My column on @RSPCA_official's astonishing betrayal of its principles. It now does more, in my view, to promote animal cruelty than to prevent it. Plus bonus🧵https://t.co/H9h2INq8vn

@GeorgeMonbiot @RSPCA_official Thank you for writing this powerful piece George.

Here is @AnimalRising's video report into the @rspcaassured scheme: https://t.co/DjOlz4HnmO

Please watch, then sign our petition here: https://t.co/kDpdZFXzc8

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

I'll celebrate when you drop the RSPCA Assured scheme, which normalises and legitimises the industrial abuse of animals, and focus instead on persuading your members to switch to an animal-free diet. Until that point, you're part of the problem.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

When you drill into the detail, as @guyshrubsole does in this excellent article about the gutting of @NaturalEngland, you see just how far the Tories took their war on nature. Labour must give regulators the powers and resources they need to do their jobs https://t.co/Ln4HzsHt0e
