Wood forget-me-not is an ideal plant for shady areas in the garden, near trees and hedges, providing good ground cover and early spring flowers.

A clutch of world leaders turned to their advisers, shook their heads and mouthed words on the lines of ‘what the actual fuck? This guy is PM of UK and UK is hosting COP26!’ Shaming for Britain

It was indeed.

We'll be there!

A bit of a win! The council is nearly at the point of declaring the climate emergency. We're looking forward to seeing their entire policy document.

We're a little group doing what we can here at home while paying attention to the global realities.

@OldTreesBooks Here's mine, also SF. In a bar women's room:
"The next time a man tells you that he loves you close your eyes and ask him what color they are."

Was there a graffiti renaissance in SF in the 80/90's?

You need to stop. And you need to pay attention to better advice than you are receiving. Rubber-stamping destructive practices should be illegal.

As I tweet, @networkrail are destroying trees and vital habitat along The Holkham CH35NE line. Residents have evidence of slow worms (endangered sp.) and badgers (protected sp.) and nesting birds living there.

RT and message @networkrail to ask them to stop work immediately.

BREAKING: Deb Haaland has been confirmed as Interior Secretary!

As a member of the Laguna Pueblo in NM, Haaland will be the first Native person to lead this agency, serving as a champion of our public lands & waters, and the communities that rely on them! https://t.co/S5dMfAeZt6

This looks so much fun! And it works.

[Durham County Council @DurhamCouncil]

We have reduced our carbon emissions by 16% in one year but there is still extensive work to be done, which Cabinet will hear about next week.

Has your Town/City Council declared the Climate Emergency? We've been encouraging ours to for a few years. Town Council meeting this evening. "Sustainability in Teesdale Statement/Council Environmental Policy" is on the agenda. How far will they be willing to go this time?

The analysis "provides guidance as to where research funding may be allocated by policymakers to further improve the high temperature tolerance of rice varieties available to farmers."

My first response was sadness. The article made me grateful for the people doing this work.

[Jim Baird @JimBair62221006]

'A long-term, farm-level study of the relationship between warmer temperatures & rice yields in the Philippines shows that rising temperatures adversely affect rice yields...even for those varieties best suited to the heat'

“In the year that Britain hosts Cop26, it is blindingly obviously that we won’t be taken seriously on the world stage with this coal mine hanging round our neck."

This article is a concise, good, quick read.

Rutgers University has voted to begin divesting from fossil fuels. “It’s one more sign of just how much the zeitgeist has shifted,” says environmentalist @billmckibben. “This divestment campaign … has become the biggest anti-corporate campaign of its kind in history.”

There is so much life just doing what it does. So much activity that we are unaware of. Paying attention shows us how important it is that we protect all living things. Our own lives depend upon that protection, too.
