We cannot address the climate catastrophe without tackling its root cause: fossil fuel dependence.

Leaders must #ActNow to save humanity from the worst impacts of climate chaos & profit from the extraordinary benefits of renewable energy.

So Angry. Shopping this afternoon in @sainsburys Penrith my disabled wife was told by the duty manager that she could not have her ADUK trained and registered support dog in the store. Is your website lying @sainsburys? Fuming. Thanks for the support of other shoppers though.

An absolutely incredible sight, a scarlet tiger moth!

Nature's ability to make art in what people consider dull and boring. Moths are so much more than small brown pests.

It baffles me why this is not being classed as some of the most important news ever!

[Conservation Intl @ConservationOrg]

At 62.9° F, Tuesday marked the hottest average global temp on record. And the #climatecrisis will only make record-breaking heat more frequent & severe.

Scientists say this is another wake-up call that we must act now to combat #climatechange.

😰 Food production is responsible for around 30% of greenhouse gas emissions.

Meanwhile, we waste a third of the food we produce.

For a healthy planet, we need healthy food systems: https://t.co/WnFH3mEWXK

From increased food production to increased #biodiversity bees and other pollinators give us so much.

But did you know that pollinators aren't all insects?
