Protect our pollinators! 🐝

UK Gov has approved the use of a banned pesticide, a decision which will be disastrous for our bees, our wildlife, and our wellbeing.

#SayNoToNeonics and tell your MP to represent you and pollinators at the debate!

This is quite remarkable. After winter storms in January last year, we found the remains of an old teddy bear washed up. When we shared a picture online, Anglican priest @CassWoollibold asked if she could restore him.

A thread.

Did you know that 99% of #plastics are derived from fossil fuels? Despite the urgent need to cut our reliance on fossil fuels, #BigOil, gas, & plastics industries plan to QUADRUPLE plastics production by 2050. 🚨 #BreakFreeFromPlastic #ClimateActionNow!

Precious coral reefs are being destroyed by warming oceans. I am urging world leaders to take bold climate action at #COP27 🪸🌍🌡

The EU had failed to halt marine biodiversity loss in Europe’s waters and to restore fishing to sustainable levels. https://t.co/I1tlSD8bfH

[Patagonia @patagonia]

Instead of “going public,” you could say we’re “going purpose.” Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth for investors, we’ll use the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source of all wealth.

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

Wetlands action is climate action.

Earth's wetlands:

➡️ Store 2 x the carbon of all global forests
➡️ Safeguard coastal communities from disasters
➡️ Regulate water flows to prevent floods and droughts
