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"

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. 💚🕸️🕷️🦗🐞🐛🦋🐌🍂🐛🦟🦠🐝🦉🐿️🥜🍄🍃🌍❤️
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 😭
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?? 😢🌿
