@CSkidmoreUK @Channel4News Excellent, informative interview. Thank you.

@LessWasteLaura A useful observation. Beach litter pickers are finding them on the sea shore and I have picked them up from the roadside.

@tompeck That's BBC national news for you. The 6pm and 10pm news programme broadcasts many non-newsworthy stories. The @bbcworldservice on the other hand is much more informative and more relevant.

@bbcpress @guardian It's time for the Chairman and the Director-General of the BBC to step down. The BBC is in shambles and trust has been lost.

@LessWasteLaura @BBCBreakfast Vapes are also creating a litter problem.

@Peston He shouldn't have to. The BBC should apologise to him for their decision.

@Peston Please don't make me laugh. Impartial, the BBC? That will be the day. Also, its national 6pm news is appalling.

The BBC have suspended Gary Lineker until he apologies and agrees not to post anything critical about the Government on Social Media.

If you stand with Gary Lineker against the Government and the BBC. RT and Like this post to show your support for him.

Disposable vapes are an absolute nightmare…
#BanDisposableVapes 💨❌ Thank you to the @FT for covering this issue.

Stats that shocked me:

- 18% of 15-year-olds in England and Wales were using e-cigarettes last Feb

- In the UK/EU producers of electronics are legally obliged to fund the recycling of a tonnage equivalent to what they put on the market. But only 16/150 vape producers and importers in the UK analysed by @recycleelectric are registered

- Retailers selling more than £100k worth of vapes are obliged to offer take-back services for recycling, but when the FT visited a cross-section of supermarket brands in central London, none of the staff spoken to were aware of the schemes

Just because it seems normal, doesn't mean it is. 'Shifting baseline syndrome' describes the gradual acceptance of degraded environmental conditions as the new normal.

One thing we know for SURE — building & widening highways ALWAYS succeeds in helping sell more cars, gas & suburban sprawl; burning more public budgets; & increasing GHG emissions. So if THOSE are your goals, it’s the perfect thing to do.

Just don’t expect it to reduce traffic.

For 100 years, urban planners have been educated to plan for cars, buses, trucks, trams and more cars. Now the Netherlands launches a programme to train 10,000 people, all over the world, to become planners for #walking and for #cycling. Well done @vivianneheijnen @lwjharms

@EuanDuncanGSY Further to our conversation, my marine litter images are uploaded here - individual galleries for plastic bottles and plastic bottle tops https://t.co/mN2xR5o11L

Irish families will now be able to deduct the cost of an e-cargo bike (up to €3,000) from their taxable income.

That's equivalent to a discount of up to 41%.

A small collection of plastic bottles from Spain that have washed up on the Guernsey shore.

@krishgm Now I realise why I prefer your interviews to those of some of your colleagues.

[Marine litter washing up on the Guernsey sea shore @marinelittergu1]

@pasgrandment @Laura_radiogsy Thank you very much for your help.

Member of Facebook group "Found on the Beach in Guernsey" collected this plastic container from a Guernsey west coast beach recently. After a wash, trying to identify text and translation. Help appreciated.

Climate chaos flooding in Nigeria 'has become an "overwhelming" disaster' causing appalling loss and damage with more than 600 people killed and 1.3 million people displaced. 🧵

Carbon offsets are exactly like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. It is a comforting idea that makes it easy for institutions and individuals to greenwash and continue business as usual. The truth is that all fossil fuel use needs to end. We must shift into #EmergencyMode.
