Each year, more than 8 million tonnes of plastic end up in the ocean.

Be a #ClimateAction Superhero and help protect our water resources by avoiding single-use plastics, taking shorter showers and turning off the tap when brushing your teeth. https://t.co/nAjeCApKJ4 #ActNow

The burden of air pollution is not equal.

In areas where car ownership is below average...
the level of pollution is certainly not.

“The US authorises 50% more highly hazardous pesticides than the UK.”

The government is trying to do a trade deal with the US, but that deal could mean more hazardous insecticides and pesticides in our food.

As we move on to OCR future of food with our XX cohort this tweet resonates really strongly!

[Nyasha - 📹🇿🇼 @munchclubtv]

We were colonised by the British + we're landlocked + didn't get any of the herbs and spices that would usually come on colonial boats.

Our people were forced to be subsistence farmers so our food culture is based on survival, not development.

It's a depper convo tbh..

The future is the 20 minute city -- a neighbourhood in which you can reach all of these places within the time frames specified.

How does your community measure up?

[RugbySchoolGeography @RSGeogDept]

Another NEA possibility here!

[Alastair Driver @AliDriverUK]

Just evaluated half of the 24 large-scale (>1000 acre) English #rewilding projects I'm aware of, against a scoring system we've devised, to see where they sit on a 5 point rewilding spectrum. Results seem rational so far! Keep an eye on @RewildingB for more on this in due course.
