“We must change our diet. The planet can’t support billions of meat-eaters. If we had a mostly plant-based diet we could increase the yield of the land.” https://t.co/u9EHfdZjUE

@rowdy1dog @RebelsAnimal I mean fish are sentient, it's not really a view.

[Animal Rising @AnimalRising]

WE WANT TO LIVE!
The science is overwhelmly clear: animal agirculture and fishing is destroying our planet. We must transition to a just and sustainable plant-based food system.

Ruth Harrison wrote that modern farming reduces animals to animal machines. The digitalization of farming makes this even more dystopic - animals reduced to production units, fully disciplined and surveilled. A Foucauldian nightmare on the factory farm.

Is your pension cheating on you? 🤯 While you’re cutting carbon, is your pension fooling round with fossil fuels? While you’re protecting the planet, is your pension getting down with deforestation? You deserve better - demand a net zero pension today.

@UKLabour @sadiq @MarvinJRees It's great that the Bristol Mayor and Labour Party are now fully against the expansion of the Bristol Airport, and can celebrate this with Greta and those in the campaign to stop it!

[Richard Sleight @RichardOSleight]

@philewis @UKLabour @sadiq @MarvinJRees Or perhaps none of the credit...see statement by Marvin above in this thread.

[Carla Denyer @carla_denyer]

When politicians bail out banks but not the climate you have to ask yourself: who are they really fighting for?

It’s time to win back our future; fight climate chaos; and save our position in Europe.
