SaveOurPark

Group of De Beauvoir Residents trying to dissuade Hackney Council from building on a cherished green space.

Downham Road West will obliterate a green space and involve the felling of 13 mature trees. You can object to the planning application here: https://t.co/BXDvjW3Rko

Let's talk about *nursery occupancy rates* @hackneycouncil @carowoodley @mayorofhackney They are *critical* as they've been used without context to justify Fernbank closure. Using current occupancy rates is the single most misleading part of entire rationale for closure. A thread

Agreed. Once they are gone, that's it. We are devastated at the potential loss of mature trees and an oasis of nature in such a built-up area.

Why are these applications on green-spaces allowed? A change to planning process is required & fast #climateemergency! #saveferriby2020 #saveourspen #saveoakdownfarm ⁦@CleanAirGreenUK⁩ https://t.co/PeyVFZNFU8

Do you think of #London when you see this? Our urban meadow in #Ealing at golden hour. We need green spaces in urban places for #biodiversity gain, #carbon sequestration, to form #nature recovery networks, for #health & well-being. Local Nature Reserve status for #WarrenFarmNR 💚

There is no such thing as a perfect climate activist. Do not let trolls tell you otherwise.

All of us are doing what we can, when we can. This is why for this movement to succeed, we need more climate activists.

We need more people standing up for the planet. We need you.

“We need to remind ourselves that we can still turn this around. It’s entirely possible if we are prepared to change. Hope is all around us.”

I wrote a text about what it will take for the #COP26 to be successful.

When ministers slap down effective environmental laws, when they cross their fingers instead of taking the action needed to stop Covid from spreading, it’s because they believe in fairytales: the “invisible hand of the market” will somehow sort it all out.

We need development that puts people before profit.

I now believe that if I live into my 90s, I have a high chance of witnessing systemic environmental collapse.
By systemic environmental collapse, I mean something specific: an Earth system passing its critical threshold, then triggering the tipping of other systems.
I'm 58.

Tomorrow! We’re excited….

Another reason not to build on green spaces in already densely built-up inner city London:

Truly a story of hope and the assiduous pursuit of justice.
