Earth hour a great way to start your group thinking about why projects like Snapp are important to our world.. join the ACC’s for a live chat about the project on earth hour, for 30 mins before we turn off the lights. Resources available on website. #snapp2019 big conversation

“The oceans of the world are like the life blood of the earth, if our oceans die, so do we. All life, whether land creatures or marine life are interdependent. It is our duty to ensure the safety of all beings on this planet.” – Ann Jones #DrasticOnPlastic

[Karen Tonks @KazT63]

@WomensInstitute perhaps local WI’s could work with Scouts across Northamptonshire. @friends_earth do you have representation in Northants? #SkillsForLife #DrasticOnPlastic @UKScouting

Ann Jones is discussing the WI’s #EndPlasticSoup campaign launched in 2017 to address the issue of microplastic fibres, tiny plastic particles released from synthetic clothing when washed - the hidden and potentially more frightening side to plastic pollution. #DrasticOnPlastic

Thanks to 49th Northampton and 20th Kettering for their sign ups this am sending us well over the 2000 sign ups

Even more relevant as the advertising ban comes in across London transport - do you know whether your product is being described as “Junk”? Do you know what to change if it is?

The official announcement from NCC is tomorrow, but Conservative councillors now tweeting the proposed cut to the Community Use of Schools budget is being withdrawn.

Well done everyone.

@TescoMobile thanks for offering a 2GB data bundle in January because of the @O2 issues - great customer service but I’d rather you made a donation to @crisis_uk instead #o2downcompensation

Are #sweetpotatoes healthier than regular white potatoes? The answer is NO. Each contain their own fabulous & individual nutrients. #Variety in our diet is what helps keep us on a healthy path, not vilifying one food over another! #lovepotatoes

I have supported a placement in the past and got a lot from it personally. Also benefitted from recruiting a Nutritionist who had been on a placement- well worth it. https://t.co/it2uO6gFLv

[Jo Lewis @BDAJoLewis]

Calling all food and drink companies - could you host someone for a nutrition industrial placement? We need this expertise in every food business to support public health and responsible innovation - can you be part of training the future leaders? @KCLNutritionSoc @NIINutrition
