Write to Michael Gove - as Minister, he CAN change the fate of iconic swifts - simply ask him to support the aim of Zac Goldsmith's swift brick amendment. #LordGoldsmithsAmendment why? ⬇️😍

Lula's victory is the best news we've had all year. Bolsonaro was a threat not only to the lives of Brazilians, but to life on Earth. Some of the harm he did can be reversed. Some is irreparable. But at least he's out.

Hoverflies are important pollinators - with 280 species in the UK alone. Each time you let wildflowers grow, plant nectar-rich plants, allow ivy to flower, or avoid pesticides, you'll be helping these beneficial insects! Pic via @EcoRecording

Okay, I am *obsessed* with the shapes and colours of oak leaves at the moment 😮‍💨🤌 How are they SO eye-pleasing?! 😍

Hello Twitter. Does anyone know who’s designing this garden in London? It’s near Vauxhall, along from the American Embassy on Nine Elms Road. The design is looking really interesting….

I just get tired...Tired of hearing that 1.5°C is a "target" or "goal". IT IS NOT. It is a limit. The only real goal is 0°C. And not bad 1.5°C, when we LIKELY tip GIS, WAIS, Tropical Coral Reefs and Abrupt Boreal Permafrost, and get more floods, droughts, heat, disease, storms.

Wanted! A helpful ingenious Wallace character who can turn their hand to inventing us a low carbon, pesticide free weeding/ sweeping/ hoovering machine to help us manage our mile of wildflowery lanes… There may be funding available… Please get in touch (-:

Wow - what a monster! A rare and enormous death's-head hawk-moth caterpillar.

Just to finish, this might seem like a bit of a niche topic - how to help manage wildflowers on pavements - but there are millions of miles of pavements which could be brilliant pollinator corridors helping our bees and wildlife if managed well; lets do it!!

[Green High Kingsdown @HighKingsdown]

Anyway look forward to hearing from you if you think you can help us?
