It was really great calling into @BBCRadioWales yesterday to give my opinion on litter and single-use plastics. It's such a shame to see them making thier way into the countryside (and even to the most rural places!) So next time, remember to pick up your litter

Sale of peat compost to gardeners to be banned by 2024.

This is fantastic news!!

Many folk & organisations have been demanding this for many years. We called for it last week in the @BritishEcolSoc report on #NatureBasedSolutions.

It's now happening!

After two weeks of gruelling isolation I have tested negative for COVID-19 meaning my surgery on Tuesday can go ahead.

Best news I've had in a while!

Slightly different tweet today!

If you know anybody who's building a bar, man cave or shed then you've come to the right place.

Britain’s uplands today v Britain’s uplands in 2041.

We can and will make it happen.

NEWS: Partially rewetting drained agricultural peatlands could achieve substantial cuts in greenhouse gas emissions without halting their productive use for farming, according to a new @Nature study led by @UK_CEH https://t.co/V3poJABhUA #NetZero #GHG

Great to have students in the labs at @BangorUni!
In true blended learning style, for those unable to come along - for Covid reasons - there is a virtual alternative (which is just as much "fun"!).

@GravityPymts are a prime example of the new world in which we need to move into.

70% of employees reported first time home ownership, coupled with debts being paid off.

The company is now a case study in Harvard for successful business handling.

The world needs this.

@Morrisons must of heard this tweet as they've now banned all plastic bags 🥰

[Freddi Lavender @freddi_lavender]

Got asked a good question by my 5 year old cousin today. And I didn't really know the answer.

Why can't we just ban plastic bags from shops?

@swampy_variant @PETAUK To conclude - a shoddy excuse of an organisation that strives for change!

[Freddi Lavender @freddi_lavender]

@swampy_variant @PETAUK Literally. PETA is the most backward association out there. Just a bunch of boomers thinking they're making a difference but actually harass scientists and campaign against the idea of having pets, and also claim sheering sheep is murder and objectify women for attention.

Doing a lit review? What to do when there is too much or too little literature, how to evaluate it & think in terms of concepts, theories & ideas https://t.co/owQ2oEXW0S (in Ryan, A & Walsh, T (2006) Writing Your Thesis: A Guide for Postgraduate Students) #phdchat #ecrchat #acwri

[Prof. Christian Dunn @christiandunn]

I believe in giving folk choice and nothing is ever black & white etc.

However, ALL amateur gardeners MUST stop using #peat-based composts this year. There is NO reason not to. And all general garden centres must switch to #peatfree composts. Really is that straightforward.

@WildlifeMag When doing this make sure to survey the area first! Just to check for potential disturbances.
