🚨 Sportswash Alert! 🚨

🚴The Tour de France comes to a close today.

This year, 15/22 teams and the Tour itself have been sponsored by companies with environmental records as murky as the cobblestones of Roubaix.

Here’s some dirt on the polluters of the peloton. 🧵

What are the most frequented flight routes in Europe?

A whopping 43 flights between London and Amsterdam departed every day last year, making it the second-busiest route in Europe despite a direct 4-hour train alternative.

It’s time to rethink how we travel in Europe.

To kick off #CleanAirDay, here's a message from Larissa Lockwood, Director of Clean Air, @globalactplan: 🧵

“Over the last week, we have watched images of the darkened orange skies over North America and of wildfires in Scotland, and seen a high air pollution alert in London.

So lovely to host this event with @BirdgirlUK this afternoon and chat all things activism. Feeling inspired by the hopeful climate stories she shared from young Indigenous people and people of colour!

[Transform Our World @TransformSDG]

Huge thanks to Mya Rose-Craig AKA @BirdgirlUK for joining us for this afternoon's event 'We have a dream'.

Mya-Rose shared how she became an activist aged 11, writing about an oil spill in Bangladesh that wasn't being covered.
