#Bumblebee queens emerge in early spring from #hibernation and immediately need to feed - that’s why early flowering plants are so important. Apart from feeding their mission at this time is to find a suitable site to establish a nest. Hence you will observe queens flying low 2/8

A gentle reminder to governments - this is possible. https://t.co/X7wAPbDP45

🚨 BREAKING: The government has announced it will impose a windfall tax on renewable energy firms - but NOT on fossil fuel giants.

Fossil Fuel profits totalled close to $100bn in the first 6 months of this year. (can you reference this?)

Why the double standards?

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Utterly bewildering Govt attack on solar farms. Solar is a win-win for energy & food security - it's *9 times cheaper* than climate-wrecking oil & gas (and much faster to deploy too), and fields with solar panels can still produce food. Who's behind these nonsensical Govt plans?

“Over four years, we’ve found Cola-Cola to be the world’s top plastic polluter in our annual brand audits. It’s astounding that a company so tied to the fossil fuel industry is allowed to sponsor such a vital climate meeting.”

Some people point out that paved or decked areas in outdoor spaces are also crap, like plastic grass. So here is a thread on levels of backyard crap-ness: 🧵 (in decreasing levels) #ToxicTurf

A No10 "Spokesperson said since the industry was privatised in 1989, the equivalent of £5bn had been invested to upgrade water infrastructure."

Let me remind you during the same period WCs have paid out over £72bn to shareholders.

Just hold that thought

Tragic news

The latest @CornwallInsight prediction, based on Ofgem's new methodology, is an 81% price cap rise in Oct (taking typical bill to £3,582/yr) and a further 19% in Jan (so £4,266/yr)

Action & planning is needed now. The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than 5 Sept...

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Yet more poor practice and cowardice as @DefraGovUK buries the bad news that our species and habitats are fading fast . All uncovered by @newscientist @adamvaughan_uk and as @MarkAvery says 'This is a department with no shame' . . . one of too many https://t.co/u5Ys59R06L

There's just three weeks to go until my parliamentary petition on this expires - and 2k signatures are still needed to guarantee a government response. Can you help sign & share? -

Absolutely mind-blown by the response from the CEO of oil giant @Harbourenergy speaking to me at @CommonsEAC

When I put it to her that renewables are 4 times cheaper than gas, she said "Maybe we're incompetent, but our company doesn't have the skills to invest in renewables"...

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

⚠️ Beavers in England are at risk ⚠️ Yesterday, UK Gov reneged on their commitment to give them legal protection. This is yet another broken promise. RT to join us in letting @VictoriaPrentis @DefraGovUK know that it’s not good enough. (1/4) https://t.co/gZtC82RSli

If you've had enough of your town being turned into a sea of plastic shite, please sign both these petitions. Your voice on social media can fade away but petitions show Government that this is an issue that needs action!
