NEW: Boris Johnson awards Gavin Williamson a knighthood.

I have said this often, but it is worth repeating: Even if a (very) few plants DO grow better in a peat-based compost that does not justify peat extraction. A (very) small loss of quality in a garden does not EVER justify peat use.

A reminder: the people in power don’t need conferences, treaties or agreements to start taking real climate action. They can start today.
When enough people come together then change will come and we can achieve almost anything. So instead of looking for hope - start creating it.

Solidarity with @ChrisGPackham, unbowed despite yet another disgraceful attack.
Intimidation is rife in the countryside, especially against those who oppose hunting and environmental destruction. It's far from the domain of innocence we like to imagine. https://t.co/HBDgqs19vp

At last, our world has a leader. She is Mia Motley, Prime Minister of Barbados, and *this* is a speech:
