Goodbye followers. There are some great people on this platform sharing their knowledge, interests and ideas on a range of subjects. I can no longer support the man behind X and the damage he is unleashing on our world. Protect nature always. We have no future without it.
Remember:
1. The oceans are being killed.
2. Forests will soon be gone.
3. Fertile soil is disappearing.
4. Megafauna risk extermination.
5. Insects are vanishing.
6. Climate chaos is inevitable.
7. Extinction is now.
8. Plastic is in our blood.
None of this is front page news.
Whenever I spend a few days away from this place I return to find the world has slipped further toward dystopia & this site is even more of an unusable cesspit.
Please remember the bile & hate exists to distract us from the truth that our kids’ futures are in so much trouble.
Hello, I’m a bat. I don’t drink blood, and I’m not trying to get tangled in your hair. If I accidentally fly into your home, please don’t strike me with sticks or brooms—it hurts, and I’m already frightened. I never meant to scare you. If I land, I might not be able to take off again without your help. Gently use a towel to guide me outside, and I’ll fly away at once. I help by eating mosquitoes and many other insects. But our roosts are disappearing as forests and old buildings are torn down, leaving us with fewer places to live. So if one of us enters your house, just switch off the lights inside, turn on a light outside, and open a door. I’ll find my way out quickly. Please show kindness—I want to live too.
Bats are nature's silent heroes—let's protect them together. Share this and spread the word.
A truly pathetic moment on Radio 4’s Today: discussing the pos merits of quantum-computing with a Google experimenter, Faisal Islam asked him whether it’d “Solve climate change, maybe?”; the experimenter replied “Yes, absolutely!”
An idiot question, an idiot answer. Deeply false hopium.
Increasing efficiency is good. But, hello! Common sense, here! Just calling again to remind you that WE. NEED. TO. FLY. LESS. Wealthy cultures' addiction to flying is a symptom of the same attitudes that caused the climate crisis in the first place. https://t.co/02FSRoZGDZ
Scrub is often written off as worthless. Today in Coton’s scrub, fieldfares and redwings fed alongside starlings and house sparrows, birds in recognised national decline, drawn in by an abundance of berries. #SaveCotonOrchard
@OurBellGreen@LewishamCouncil Absolute disgrace. It’s hard to walk past that. I hope the council react quickly. You really make a difference to your community. Can only hope you inspire others to take responsibility. 🙏
Spot on from George Monbiot:
To all those saying "but if our government spoke out, there might be consequences", please remember that not speaking out also has consequences. The history of appeasement is not a reassuring one.
Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."
RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!
A major city in Colombia cooled itself by 2°C simply by planting millions of trees and shrubs—demonstrating that nature provides one of the most effective cooling solutions available.
Medellín has turned its urban environment into a cooler, more livable space through its innovative Green Corridors project, launched in 2016. The initiative planted nearly 880,000 trees and 2.5 million smaller plants along busy roads and waterways, replacing heat-trapping concrete with lush vegetation. This created an extensive network of interconnected green zones that function like natural cooling systems, reducing the city's average temperature by more than 2°C.
Beyond cooling, the project delivers wide-ranging benefits: it purifies the air, boosts urban biodiversity by welcoming back wildlife, and fosters a healthier atmosphere through shade and evapotranspiration—the natural process by which plants release water vapor. Honored with the 2019 Ashden Award for Cooling by Nature, Medellín's approach has become an inspiring model for cities worldwide seeking sustainable ways to adapt to rising temperatures and combat climate change.
A feel-good factor story to get your New Year off to an inspiring and uplifting start.💥
This is @tsdomestics - one of our campaign partners - who are a highly motivated group of young people refusing to sit and watch their town continue to deteriorate. 👏
Hate to say we told you so but so-called "sustainable aviation fuel" is and always has been a fantasy. The only solution to the climate impacts of flying is to fly LESS. https://t.co/AROnpiuoHe
Is flying one of our human rights? At FFUK we don't shame people for flying*. But even by encouraging people to fly less or consider the impacts of flying, we can cause upset. When did flying enter the culture war? When did it start to feel like an inalienable right?
This is a slip road onto the M2 motorway in Kent. But it could be anywhere in the country. The motorway network is a total cesspit and @NationalHways - with its £5 BILLION annual budget - doesn’t care what you think. It’s a national scandal that needs exposing.
