Great rally today organised by Taunton Area Cycling Campaign urging Somerset County Council to act on Active Travel. I'm not a lycra-clad sporty cyclist, I just want my grandchildren and the next generation to have a future. #climatechange

Thank you to @NetherclayW for supporting a group of TGP families to plant and manage this wildflower area. So satisfying to see them burst into flower 🐝

@_LauraLewis Couldn’t agree more @_LauraLewis. We have a lovely area in Bishops Hull. It is hard to understand why not everyone agrees. I too have changed the way I see nature recently... it will take time for many to undo the conditioning that ‘trimmed and neat’ = well cared for! 🐝

Lots of people in my neighbourhood find the area unsightly and messy. Some want it cut down to reduce hayfever and asthma.

Understandably, many humans have lost connection with nature. I'm blessed to have reconnected over the last few years 🙏

@pow_rebecca please back the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill to call for far reaching actions from the UK government to tackle the climate emergency 🌍

[Extinction Rebellion Taunton @XRTaunton]

Back the Climate + Ecological Emergency Bill.
What is the CEE Bill?
This private members bill was brought before the House of Commons in September 2020. The second reading was due on 26th March but is being delayed, possibly indefinitely.

The #RightToProtest is fundamental to democracy and to bringing about change.

We have taken to the streets with our songs and props to peacefully, if noisily, urge politicians and business leaders to protect all our children's futures.

Would such actions now be restricted?

Here is another gorgeous contribution to celebrate #OurOtherMother and all those amazing, beautiful mamas out there.

[Fossil Free Parliament @MP_FossilFree]

Dear @richardgrahamUK, @ranil & Clive Betts - remember those 360+ parliamentarians who called on you to divest their pension from fossil fuels? They’re still waiting (see below).

Ahead of #COP26 MPs must lead by example, don’t you think?
