I can't stop thinking about this Greenland shark, recovered dead from the sea this evening. Even if she was "only" just over 100 years old, she has shared the Earth with thylacines and passenger pigeons. She swam calmly in the deep ocean as wars raged above her.
Weβre all gripped by covid and climate change.
Then we realise a few power mad men have the capability to end life & civilisation in an instant.

Imagine walking into Tesco for your weekly shop and finding row after row of nice, tidy, low maintenance shelves but without the food. You and your kids would starve. That's how Bees, Birds, Hedgehogs etc feel when they visit your plastic garden #TimeForTurf#DontBeAnEmptyTescos
The worldβs richest 1% cause double the carbon emissions of than the poorest 50%. Where is the @COP26 messaging of the wealthiest consuming less? Poor people arenβt driving the crisis. #EquitableTransition#CarbonTax#ClimateEmergency
