@SheffCouncil why you spraying Sheffield streets with pesticides? Im HORRIFIED to see GLYPHOSATE sprayed on our streets by a Council worker. Cities across UK and Europe have banned it. It kills wildlife, is a health risk, cats and dogs can get very sick BAN IT NOW! @_OliviaBlake

Very excited to be attending #FairSeas Ocean Conference in #Cork, Ireland with impressive global speakers and Irish Government. Focus on how to achieve effective Marine Protected Areas. Speakers say we dont need more "paper protected areas" and enforcement is key. #WorldOceanDay

[Hello World @Upyourkilt2011]

@TimBirchWild @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @pesticideaction @Greenpeace @ChesterfieldBC Totally Agree 👍

@gateshead - This guy drove past me spraying while I was walking my dog.

STOP spraying herbicides & weed killers across our landscape. It’s killing plants, insects and I’m sure leeches into the soil. 🤬🤬

@TimBirchWild @SheffCouncil @_OliviaBlake @BBCSheffield @SheffieldStar @sheffgreencity @SheffieldGreens @campaignstrat @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @BBCLookNorth @itvcalendar @sheffielduni Same here in Birmingham. Bloke in a mask on one of those. Last yr they did it on foot - I questioned the guy & he said it was safe brand - looked it up - glyphosate. Complained to council - no response. Fuming they just spray it around with no warning.

Hey @SheffCouncil what the hell are you doing?
WITHOUT the permission of the people who live there too.
This stuff CAUSES CANCER
It is POISONOUS to WILDLIFE and DANGEROUS for people's PETS.

SHAME ON YOU.
Disgusting.

@GaleSteph @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @pesticideaction @Greenpeace @ChesterfieldBC Can I DM you my email?

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

Spraying pesticides in public spaces has to STOP NOW! Its dangerous for wildlife, people and pets. Many European counties have banned this. Its a war on nature in our public places @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @pesticideaction @Greenpeace @ChesterfieldBC #bees #insects #savethebees

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

@GaleSteph @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @pesticideaction @Greenpeace @ChesterfieldBC Would be very interested to see what they said. Strange that many European countries have banned this in public places yet not here. Also strange that Sheffield Council push the Outdoor City name when theyre poisoning nature within the city.

@Leena_LiveNow @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @pesticideaction @Greenpeace @ChesterfieldBC Its no wonder we have an insect crisis. We need a complete reset in our relationship with the natural world.

[Leena WLF @Leena_LiveNow]

@TimBirchWild @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @pesticideaction @Greenpeace @ChesterfieldBC This isn’t just weed control. It’s the slow stripping out of insect life from the places we share. Public space should not be managed as if pollinators are expendable.

From the depths of the ocean to the top of the mountains, nature holds an abundance of sustainable solutions to combat the climate crisis.

@Anna231A @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @pesticideaction @Greenpeace @ChesterfieldBC It seems to be widespread across the UK sadly

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

@Anna231A @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @pesticideaction @Greenpeace @ChesterfieldBC Thats excellent. Can you keep me posted what they say. Thanks. Im going to develop a National campaign on this.

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

@Anna231A @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @pesticideaction @Greenpeace @ChesterfieldBC Thats shocking Anna. Did you get any photos?

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

@theluthier63 @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @pesticideaction @Greenpeace @ChesterfieldBC @Go_CheshireWest Where was this Tom? Its a war on nature in our urban spaces where we all live. This practice is banned in France, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Austria and other European countries. We are so far behind on this issue in the UK @DefraGovUK @Go_CheshireWest

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

@wrurestore @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @pesticideaction @Greenpeace @ChesterfieldBC Did you get any photos of plants targeted?

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

@wrurestore @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @pesticideaction @Greenpeace @ChesterfieldBC Was this guy spraying pesticides?
