Brilliant! It’s a no-brainer for me!!

January is the perfect time for a new challenge. 💪

Plastic pollution affects everyone, whether you live near the ocean, a mountain or in a city. This year, take on the challenge and become part of our Plastic Free Communities: https://t.co/XbN6FrEY8q

@Tesco That’s fantastic to see, but I am still very concerned with the amount of packaging on your fresh produce. I appreciate it keeps it fresher for longer but it didn’t seem that the 4 T’a you’ve referenced were being used at all in this section?

[Emma Burt @_emmaburt]

@Tesco - what are you doing to reduce the amount of plastic packaging on your food??

Currently sitting in a hospital thanking everything I know that our #NHS is in existence!
It needs to be protected!
This #government is tearing it apart - I’ve lived in countries where you have to pay for any medical intervention.
We should not take it for granted! #SaveOurNHS

Sums it up PERFECTLY! A must-watch by @JonathanPieNews. At this time of #crises and #strikes - Pie shows us the real culprits of our current societal, economic and environmental meltdowns...

I love this.
But also, as someone who grew up in a country without seasons - I really appreciate the Winter and the changes that happen visually across the yr... #wednesdaythought

In case you're struggling with wintry low mood it might help to know that this is just 12 weeks away:

[A Cambridge Diary @acambridgediary]

1/3 A Fen Skater christened the ice today as conditions proved perfect for the first time in years.
Skating over the frozen flooded fields and meadows has been a part of Fenland life for hundreds of years.

Ooooo! Love this! So true!!! But also, could we simply disincentivise people from driving at all?... then we’d have even more space!

Ever so accurate.

Strike info for this week - #tuesday.
#EnoughIsEnough #action

[Emma Burt @_emmaburt]

As hard as it is for those affected, I completely support the #strikes - people only do this when they’re desperate for #action! This #government needs to #WakeUp and increase the minimum wage as well as pay people what they’re worth!

People of #Sheffield - if you’ve not yet been to see the @johnypitts exhibition at the Graves Gallery, you should, it’s wonderful - touching and insightful...

[Emma Burt @_emmaburt]

Thanks to @SheffCouncil and the #Sheffield bus companies for lowering their rates this winter. Anything that encourages the use of public transport is a win in my books!

[Emma Burt @_emmaburt]

In love with @TheFeedNorwich - a social enterprise that supports the #Homeless in #Norwich. With so much going wrong - it’s wonderful to see something go right!

[Emma Burt @_emmaburt]

@johnypitts Hahaha - own it Johny :D hope you manage to find out more and thanks for putting this question out there! Hope the exhibition is still going well at Graves

[Emma Burt @_emmaburt]

@johnypitts Also - I could help singing ‘where did he come from cotton eye joe’... to your tweet @johnypitts :)

[Emma Burt @_emmaburt]

@johnypitts As someone who has ME/CFS - I’d genuinely love to know more about this too! I haven’t yet found a book specifically but I was told that people with more drive - tend to burn out quicker and that it’s all about recognising what gives you energy and what takes

[Emma Burt @_emmaburt]

What a beautiful space and what a passionate #community fighting for what is right!

Lovely to see, but appalling that it is needed... this is what years of #austerity has done for our country...
