REMINDER: Record breaking heat waves are NOT an accident.

🚨 SHOCKING FACT: 1 in 10 flights taking off from the UK are now PRIVATE JETS.

Private Jet emissions are up to 30x higher than normal flights.
Does anyone else think it's UNFAIR we're paying for the super-rich to pollute?

Dear councils, 97% of UK meadows are gone. So if you have wildflowers like ox-eye daisies on roadverges and in public spaces, don't spray them with weedkiller or over-mow them. Let's give pollinating insects like bees and butterflies a chance 🐝

🤔 QUESTION: If the UK has 1,500 rivers...

How many will become 'ecologically dead' like the River Lim before the government tackles this sewage CRISIS?

We need your help to grow a local food network, which will bring communities and businesses closer together and increase the amount of food produced locally.

Our research shows that 60% of children in the UK never play on their own street.

Cars and traffic came up most when the @guardian asked readers if their children faced problems playing outside.

Hypocrisy much?

Tell the government to ban climate wrecking private jets 👉 https://t.co/g7Gx6otqlM

[Flight Free UK @FlightFreeUK]

Private jets are between four and 15 times more polluting than commercial aircraft, and 50 times more polluting than trains. Is it time to ban private jets? https://t.co/sVXFCCJKGT

A powerful statement of a new dawn, a new way to be for Bannau Brycheiniog. Nature in our Parks is suffering where it should be flourishing. It is just about yma o hyd, but time now for nature to come first...
