Brutal @theCCCuk report says chance of UK meeting climate pledges has "worsened" since 2022
🎯Govt has no "credible" policies for 75% of emissions cuts needed by 2030
🔴Only 9 of 50 key indicators on track
↩���Govt has "backtracked" over fossil fuels

🥤My @kleankanteenuk bottle and the @refillhq app are a must on the go! You'll find lots of shops and cafes happy to provide you with a refill of your water bottle through the app🐳 Stay hydrated, save money and reduce plastic!🌱#WorldRefillDay#PlasticFree
@rjw62 I hadn't heard that! Now that the planters have been installed it seems unlikely. You can currently refill (no purchase needed) at The Library, Subway, Greggs, Cinema, Wetherspoons and Cafe One. I'm going to check if they all have refill stickers up, I know the library does!
Cut vs uncut.
Just reading about grass care. Grass is 85% water. Worst thing to do in a drought is to cut it, as long grass keeps soil cool, prevents evaporation and catches dew. Also provides vital habitat. No rain here for over a month. Grass cutting still continues. 🤷🏻♀️
@i_woodward@BreckCouncil @ThetfordCouncil @BSBIbotany Hi Ian, I will do what I can to raise this issue. As I gather you have reported this in the past, do you know which council is responsible for this bit of land?
At the end of each month we will post a snapshot of what your local Labour Team has been working on and what they have achieved on your behalf. Remember, if you have any queries or comments then please do get in touch as well. Here's the Report Card for May - a busy first month!
#Thetford Town Council now has 13 Labour Councillors; including 1 Cllr under 30yrs old, 5 under 40yrs, 2 serving posties, 1 Doctor, 2 former teachers (incl. 1 ex head teacher), 1 small business owner, an ex HGV driver - what a team!
Tomorrow is the big day! You may get more than 1 vote, so read the ballot paper carefully and make use of your votes! I've been out posting final reminders this evening... don't forget your voter ID!
The meaning of the loss of colour on the biodiversity stripes breaks my heart 🌍💔 We have lost 70% of our wildlife since 1970 #EarthDay#BiodiversityLoss
For #EarthDay the biodiversity stripes have a new home linked to @ed_hawkins climate warming stripes, because the Earth faces two environmental challenges. Take a look and #ShowYourStripes: https://t.co/QejD0hjvy8
This #EarthDay I showed up for the planet and for our future at #TheBigOne in London. We need change in politics, business and individual life and it needs to be now before it's too late 🌍
The @theCCCuk most recent report on the net-zero transition warned that there are only credible policies in place to deliver one-third of the emissions reductions that the UK is legally committed to achieving by 2050 under the Climate Change Act.
We've had enough of empty words.
The Conservatives aren't across the detail on #NetZero.
The reality is they are failing to support energy-intensive businesses like those in the motor manufacturing industry to decarbonise.
Industry needs action, not empty words.

Our banks are in a hidden relationship with oil companies. Together, they’re fuelling climate change 🔥
Watch our powerful new film today and help them break up 💔
