As Ryanair drops its carbon offset option on its flights due to a lack of uptake, it's important to remember that we can't simply 'buy' our way out of this crisis.

‘Trees for climate, not for profit’. 🌲🌳🌲
Today @SaveLeitrim & climate activists from across Ireland pulled 100s of Sitka spruce saplings from Coillte peatland. Straw Boys were among 150 on the direct action targeting industrial conifer plantations & demanding policy change.
Message from #ClimateCampIreland was clear. Communities are organising to challenge system that threaten hopes for a liveable future.Whether it’s mining,fracked gas,non native forestry or data centres, people will resist. We have no other choice. #CommunitiesNotShareholders
Come join the protest against Data Centre expansion on 21st May @ 2pm outside Amazon HQ, Burlington Rd, Dublin 4. Vampire theme fancy dress encouraged, to represent the insatiable corporations that will continue feeding and growing on Ireland's energy, if not stopped.
Lovely weekend spent in North Leitrim organising for Climate Camp 2023, planned for the days leading up to Sunday 13th August. Great to meet local campaigners who have been so successful in their campaigns on fracking, mining and forestry among other things.More details to follow
1/4 'Frack Off LNG!' Mass trespass by 150 #climate activists of #Shannon LNG #fracked gas terminal site a 'show of strength and a warning' to @new_fortress Energy & Irish govt that this climate-wrecking project will be fiercely resisted. Press release: https://t.co/qAh0554UTn
Dr @laurajkehoe, Environmental Scientist is at #ClimateCampIreland to stop #ShannonLNG.
“Scientists are ripping our hair out. Politicians listen, nod & smile, then everything carries on as normal. Last year the govt promised to cut emissions by 4.8% but emissions went up by 5%.”
“We are fighting for our lives” says Ray Kemble, ex-gas worker from Pennsylvania, whose well water was poisoned by #fracking in the area from where gas for #ShannonLNG would come. In this clip he describes the public health disaster in his community, incl a surge in cancer cases.
“Big companies with the help of governments are driving us towards a climate catastrophe… The fossil fuel industry is exploiting the war in Ukraine to push the case for an LNG terminal.” #ClimateCampIreland in The Irish Times. https://t.co/OsRxqujh63
