Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! https://t.co/mN0GBFpgdG via @38degrees

Did anyone else see the #redsquirrel on the BBC’s @BBCSpringwatch article on Treecreepers on Monday? Michela Strachan said “in this woodland in the heart of Derbyshire”and then there was a shot of a red squirrel…….This is news to me, we don’t have them in the Midlands do we ?!

The dangerous impacts of glyphosate stack up. Spraying this chemical on Sheffield's streets @SheffCouncil and across UK is totally irresponsible. A ban is URGENTLY needed @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP in the UK - many European countries have banned it.

@realDonaldTrump every ridiculous action you take & what you are doing in Iran is blatantly adding to this but no-one is saying it. Please stop destroying everyone’s future

The #HighSeasTreaty has entered into force thanks to the 81 countries who ratified it. Incredible news. But where's the UK? The govt MUST move quickly to ratify, before we're left behind.

Did you see it?

@CarlBovisNature They eat seeds in my neighbour’s garden then come and sit in my trees and drink in my bird bath, I love standing underneath the tree and listening to them chirping, beautiful birds, so uplifting to be graced by their presence 💛🖤❤️

Beautiful redwing thanks for sharing ❤️

Big Oil is pushing through 22 new oil fields in but we've exposed the true ocean impact of each one

Big Oil is playing games with our seas & "allowing any of these fields to proceed makes losers of us all"

@SReillyid @vividsax @EdwardJDavey Assume you’re saying “truth” to Ed Davey’s comments about this poisonous platform; you’re not replying “truth” to the comments here about Ed Davey’s government - as an American you’re obviously really in tune with UK politics aren’t you?

Just so deeply depressing. If Ministers can’t support something as simple as swift bricks, which can have an amazing impact for swifts, then what hope is there for more complex measures? They just don’t care

It’s an #equitycrisis not cost of living crisis. The wealthy are responsible for most emissions, the richest 10% use 5x more energy than bottom 10%
NO countries are climate progressive
I’m glad I have no kids, for those who do, shame on you for passing this on #COP30 @BBCr4today

Two houses on the same street, both with drives.

Yet just one of them reduces flood risk, retards heatwaves, and lights up the neighbourhood with welcoming greenery.

We’ve lost millions of front gardens to overpaving in recent decades. We need to reverse that trend urgently.

Great to see @JackPerksPhoto Britain’s Hidden Fishes film on at the #NottinghamBroadway cinema yesterday, in partnership with the #TrentRiversTrust The film was crowdfunded & contains absolutely awesome footage. This needs to be shown in full on the BBC, let’s do this! #fishtv
