While France is banning short-haul flights, the UK government is now promoting them, under the slogan 'Grow the Economy'

Policies like this, in times like these, will be recorded in the history books as ecocide.

The City of Copenhagen wanted to know the overall costs and benefits of cycling for transport compared to driving, so they commissioned health economists to calculate it. Their findings?
- Every mile driven costs society £0.98
- Every mile cycled *saves* society £0.88
By being less tidy in your garden, and leaving dead and hollow stems of plants unpruned over the winter, you'll be providing shelter for hibernating insects, including ladybirds, during the colder months 🐞
