Did you know a full freezer uses less energy than an empty one? If there is empty space, you could fill it with water bottles. You can also borrow our @energysavingkit from your #locallibrary to find out how much energy your appliances use. For locations: https://t.co/ucTWGIyC4b

What might ambitious, exciting and inspiring rewilding really look like in Ireland?

I found out in the Scottish Highlands last weekend, beyond all my imaginings.

"Coillte alone spends around €1.5 million on pesticides – including the controversial glyphosate – every year"

The Glendoo Brook which flows through Massy's Wood is 1 of the 11 Key Ecological Receptors re @sdublincoco planned €22m #VanityProject @DodderAction @DodderMugs

Lovely to see these guys back in action at the Hellfire. Sadly they are 1 of the 11 Key Ecological Receptors at risk re @sdublincoco planned €22m #VanityProject.

@greenparty_ie @EamonRyan Maybe @EamonRyan you could ask @sdublincoco for the €22m they have to splurge on a #VanityProject over 24k has said NO to and 'want to protect'? https://t.co/wmuU51Oo57 #BiodiversityCrisis #nature #Sustainability #FridayThoughts

State sponsored ecocide: badger sett at Tymon filled in & covered up by @sdublincoco following mass clearance of trees & hedgrows beside National Basketball Arena last week. Swathes of woodland gone. No consultation with anyone. (Credit: Friends of Tymon https://t.co/VtbaGl66Xk)

[Ballyboden Tidy Towns @BallybodenTT]

Why is @IrishWater eradicating a 500 year old hedgerow full of nesting birds at #BallybodenReservoir on Montpelier 🏔 than fixing leaks? App the heritage hedgerow must go so IW arborist can inspect trees but it was protected by ABP @sdublincoco @noonan_malcolm @KennedyAnalysis

Tidiness may look nice to some, but it is not really Nature's way of doing things. For the sake of our small creatures that live in, around and amongst Autumn's leaves, please leave the leaves. 💚🕸️🕷️🦗🐞🐛🦋🐌🍂🐛🦟🦠🐝🦉🐿️🥜🍄🍃🌍❤️

[SavetheHellfire @SavetheHellfire]

Over 24k has signed our #petition saying NO to @sdublincoco @coilltenews €22m overscaled & inappropriately placed #VanityProject

These are the effects on the area! Time to end the #greenwashing

It's #Halloween all year round for all those who are fighting for our trees, fighting for our lives.

[Save the Poddle @SavePoddle]

Gone fishing. 😍

Poddle 19th October 2021.

[PearseBrothersPark @pearsebrospark]

I wonder what this bat and and all the other 🦇🦇 think of @sdublincoco saying there are no bats in @pearsebrospark with no bat survey & plan to remove all trees.

[Save the Poddle @SavePoddle]

Not everyone appreciates the Dodder ‘greenway’ treatment and vegetation clearing. Bike lanes should NOT take away from our riverine corridors and wildlife. Bike lanes should take from roads, not nature. Lots of wildlife driven out of the Dodder. #Greenwashing 😭

Rat poison kills more than rats.

[Carola Blaney🍃💚🍃 @BlaneyCarola]

Just a reminder, that fireworks can be very distressing for our wildlife and pets alike! With Halloween just around the corner, maybe it's time we stopped using them?? 😢🌿
