This is interesting to me especially if you read the #scientific article. As I have an #intolerance to #canesugar and #gluten

New fish sustainability ratings out today - North Sea Cod still red-rated, choose UK hake, Pollock and a great new scallop farm in Loch Fyne @mcsuk https://t.co/che9pXUVtQ

Your food standards are at risk because the government won't protect them in law. Follow the link and ask your MP to stand up for nature-friendly British food and farming.

I’m Mulindwa Moses, a climate activist from Uganda. My country’s forest cover has depleted to 8%. And one of the forest in my country has been sold for agribusiness. I’m calling upon activists around the world to add their voices on mine and save Bugoma forest.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Any government that cared about the future of humanity and the rest of life on Earth would adopt the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill.
We don't have such a government.
So we must take to the streets to demand its adoption.
See you in London today

@GeorgeMonbiot Quite an extreme view. But I do wish they'd listen!

[Andrea @AndreaLDexter]

@BeespaceX A good reason to make sure all our #honey is safe. And #bees are being manged properly. 😊❤️🐝

@BeespaceX What a terrible thing to witness at any time in your life, let alone as a child.

No wonder you love bees.. They are incredibly calming, and I think they sense that in you too. Animals and I believe insects too have an amazing ability to sense our feelngs.

Sending my love.

[Andrea @AndreaLDexter]

@BeespaceX How would you suggest going about an initiative like this here?

[Andrea @AndreaLDexter]

@GeorgeMonbiot More difficult to make money from the environment. If the #environment keeps suppling us with things for free, if only we'd take the time to stop and properly observe, nature season after #season, and truly try and understand it, not control it . #slowdown

[Bee.Watch @theBeeWatchapp]

Does this signify the end of #glyphosate?

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

So @thameswater spend £2.8 million just to get ride of one CEO and £12.6 million to hire another, paid over three years. Total cost £15.4 million.

Now how many chalk streams could you save with that I wonder?

[Andrea @AndreaLDexter]

This is beautiful.. Don't mistake it for an #Asianhornet.

Penny and Dave Green recorded what we believe must be a first for Knepp 4 Lunar Hornet Moth! They are an amazing hornet mimic, even copying their jerky flight. @kneppsafaris @sussex_emerald

[Andrea @AndreaLDexter]

@pguythompson @BeespaceX Brilliant, thank you @pguythompson. Wow @BeespaceX what brilliant news.

[Andrea @AndreaLDexter]

@BeespaceX Sounds like your having fun! 😊

[Andrea @AndreaLDexter]

@GeorgeMonbiot I can't disagree with the importance of this. But shouldn't we be addressing the problems of local "healthy" #honey with 500+ times the amount of #Glyphosate residue in it, first before we worry about painting fingers at other nations failings on #pesticide use.
