We couldn’t agree more! @ThisWinterUK

[South Yorkshire Climate Alliance @SYClimateNews]

Excellent news! Coal is NOT the future and locally people were being misled into thinking there could be employment from this. There are so many more good, sustainable jobs in renewable energy.

@SouthYorksMayor This could be us!

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

Night buses return to GM from today after a long absence.

In truth, we should be bringing them back all over the UK.

If our cities are to lead the way to the growth the Government wants to see, much better public transport is needed everywhere.

Yes!

[Zero Hour @zero-hour.bsky.social @zerohour_uk]

⚡️ NEWS! ⚡️

1,000+ scientists and medical professionals call on MPs to listen to the science—back the #CANBill—and secure a liveable future.

The time for stronger, science-led legislation to tackle the climate-nature crisis is now.

This term, this session, this Parliament. 🧵

[Sheffield Friends of the Earth @SheffieldFoE]

It might not compete with other headline news today but this is BIG!

[Now Then Magazine @nowthenmag]

Chris Broome of @SYClimateNews explores how we can decarbonise the UK's heavy industry and stay within our carbon budgets.

But is the only realistic solution consuming less? 📉

Have you booked your summer holiday yet? Sh*t Beach looks like the best place to visit in 2024. #ShtBeach

[South Yorkshire Climate Alliance @SYClimateNews]

You can take quick & easy action with @CoalActionUK and @money_rebellion to tell insurers to put climate on the agenda at the biggest annual insurance event, #BIBA2024.

[Save Rose Hill Bessacarr🍃💚🍃 #NatureInMyBackyard @Save_Rose_Hill]

Not so much a failing to protect nature by @MyDoncaster as deliberate action to destroy it: publicly owned wildlife habitat at RoseHill sold to a developer by a council that says it protects green spaces & biodiversity. No wonder nature is in crisis @Independent @WildlifeTrusts

[ShefFood - Sheffield's Food Partnership @sheffoodsocial]

To halt new climate-harming fossil fuel projects, preventing their insurance is crucial. Lobbying insurers globally has proven effective. Join forces at the British Insurance Broker’s Association conference in Manchester on May 15th for greater impact. The more the better!

[South Yorkshire Climate Alliance @SYClimateNews]

Our ‘Doughnut Economics’ event at last year’s @FestOfDebate generated a lot of interest and debate and it’s good to see this analysis 👇🏼

[Kate Raworth @KateRaworth]

It's long been a question: could all of humanity actually live within the Doughnut? Thanks to Hauke Schlesier et al it's just been quantified for the 1st time. And the answer is probably yes - if we transform to economies of sufficiency. Read more here: https://t.co/aZjcj1TQ0P
