Very disappointed to see this as a member @BritishCycling. Have been considering cancelling my membership and this could be the final straw. I'd expected better.

So what attracted you to the multi-billion dollar planet-killer?

@McDonaldsUK These were all chucked in planters next to a school. So maybe you could do more to encourage folks to bin their rubbish or use reusable cups rather than dropping it on the street?

The ‘#RightsRemovalBill is a blatant power grab.

Ripping up the Human Rights Act means stripping us of our most powerful tool to challenge wrongs by UK govt & other public bodies.

This is not about tinkering with rights, it’s about removing them.

Make it 25, 3 more in the next planter too

22 @McDonaldsUK coffee cups dumped in planters outside @DunardPSandNC. There's a bin nearby. The area around the school has a litter problem, locals pick it up but is anyone willing to do anything to stop littering in the 1st place? @NorthKelvinCC @GlasgowCC @DunardPrimaryPC

[Dinah @dinah_mo]

I just walked past the school and saw a child drop a Doritos packat and it blew onto the street. So it's definitely coming from the school!

[Dinah @dinah_mo]

Doing a litter pick for the second time this week in Dalmally Street. It is mostly kids snack food packaging. What are you doing @DunardPri to stop the scourge of litter on the street?

[Dinah @dinah_mo]

@NorthKelvinCC is there a way to raise littering with schools? @DunardPrimaryPC

[Dinah @dinah_mo]

@UrbanistTOC Thanks for bringing facts and common sense to the absolute nonsense and hysteria being peddled by some. I cycle around Pollok and most of it is a death trap on a bike. Thank goodness the council is investing in bike paths!

[Dinah @dinah_mo]

@DunardPrimaryPC @NorthKelvinCC I'm not saying it's all the kids, but perhaps a wee campaign at the school teaching kids about why they should pick up rubbish would be a positive thing? Encouraging them to be responsible citizens (nice links to the curriculum and positive press for the school?)

[Dinah @dinah_mo]

@DunardPrimaryPC @NorthKelvinCC There was virtually no rubbish when the schools were off because of Covid. It's also worst on the streets around the school and its more sweetie and crisp wrappers than the surrounding streets.

[Dinah @dinah_mo]

Keep finding McDonalds coffee cups when I'm out doing litter pics. What are you doing to stop litter @McDonaldsUK? Cos you are failing in Glasgow Maryhill

[Dinah @dinah_mo]

@shockproofbeats @The_Fence_Mag Intrigued by this one from Glasgow. Spotted in 2020. Who feels strongly enough to graffiti this?

@FinlowIan @anon_opin I'd be terrified if I heard the cat flap and Jeff Bezos came in with a mouse in his mouth! 😮

🚨 BREAKING: Shell has been given the green light to go ahead with destructive seismic tests in a precious whale breeding ground off the coast of South Africa.

⚠️ For five whole months, whales will hear explosions with the intensity of a space shuttle launch - every 10 seconds.

They may seem like Santa but they're much more like Scrooge... here are ten reasons to #BoycottAmazon this Christmas, from ongoing abuses of its workers to the sale of tech to #FossilFuel companies: https://t.co/i5WT6q5KGJ

[Ethical Consumer @EC_magazine]

Hey @amazon
We're boycotting you this Black Friday to highlight your unethical and exploitative business practices, in solidarity with activists and workers across the globe #BoycottAmazon #BoycottBlackFriday #MakeAmazonPay

#ThisMachineFightsClimateChange This is my bike on one of its many adventures- a beautiful cycle from Creetown to Gatehouse of Fleet. It has also been my trusty companion on many commutes, holidays and trips around town.

[Cycling UK @WeAreCyclingUK]

If we swap just one car trip for one bike ride per day, we can reduce lifetime CO2 emissions from transport by around 67%. There's no need to reinvent the wheel.

That's why we're calling for cycling to be on the agenda at #COP26.
