Beautiful scenes across the fields yesterday. Lockdown gives us all a great chance to explore and get our daily fitness safely and socially distanced of course!

Keeping a watchful eye on the competition👁

Interesting piece on tonights #bbcnews6 discovering new species of deep water coral which are the bedrock of our climate. However, contemporary climate change is said to be “altering the chemistry of our coral” making is less absorbent, more brittle and acidic. #climatechange

Calling Boxing Day hunts a sport is quite frankly a lie. Animal cruelty, destruction of rural property, promoting hunting, cutting numbers of rare foxes please do something more constructive and less damaging on Boxing Day next year. #boxingdayhunt #FoxHunting

Would you like to see this system implemented in bars, public toilets etc...? (Also means you don’t have to touch taps and use up tissues, another easy way to stop our throwaway culture and keep COVID safe!)

Clever way of saving water and energy at @BathSpaUni . By controlling how much water and air is distributed the University can easily manage their water and energy output making sure their staying sustainable and not using unnecessary amounts of resources!

Would recommend reading the follow article; not a long one and neither is is hard to understand. In simple terms climate change is affecting even the most ‘developed’ nations and even more so those not connected to the mainland. Geography gives us the key to unlock the future!

While everyone will be impacted the climate crisis, it will not be experienced equally around the world.

The Arctic is more than 12 degrees above normal. Repeat: the average for the entire Arctic is 12 degrees above what was normal in 1990. Would be even more extreme compared to pre-industrial.

Following the #USElectionResults, I'm pleased to hear @JoeBiden will put America back into the Paris Agreement! Finally a President with the correct priorities on climate change and America's future. A man who's not there for economic business but for rebuilding and unifying!

Photos I took tonight overlooking Bath! By sometimes taking a different geographical viewpoint we can start to unpick and analyse how modern day urbanisation affects even some of the most 'historical' parts of the UK! It's all about making development sustainable! @BathSpaGeog

Courtesy of Sky News. What a great step forward! We must make sure all restaurants, bars etc follow the rules regarding throwaway plastic. With face masks and disposable gloves being littered more due to the pandemic we need to cut down where we can.

[Harry Watts’ Geography Blog🌍 @WattsBlog]

Fascinating tv episode on tackling plastics and cutting them out of our lives. Unravelling the truth behind how many of our day to day products are ACTUALLY recycled, many of these corporations are lying about their ‘widely recycled’ products! Worth a watch! #platics #bbc

[WWF UK @wwf_uk]

There was worldwide outcry when the Notre Dame cathedral was on fire. Why is there not the same level of outrage for the fires destroying the #AmazonRainforest?

[Harry Watts’ Geography Blog🌍 @WattsBlog]

@jeh345 @WelHatCouncil Makes it accessible to everyone I guess, still doesn’t tackle the problem with plastic bags, I agree with Nigel that biodegradable ones would be more appropriate. I’m sure the system will only get better with time. We have to avoid creating another problem whilst solving another

[Harry Watts’ Geography Blog🌍 @WattsBlog]

Great job from @WelHatCouncil introducing a food waste recycling scheme. Clearly written and presented for those who don’t fully understand recycling, with informative facts and figures encouraging people to think more about the implications of their waste!

[Harry Watts’ Geography Blog🌍 @WattsBlog]

Great to see us making the most of the strong wind currents the UK gets with us being an island! Great example of the natural Geography being one of the most important element in us becoming a more renewable and sustainable nation!

⚠️ Experts estimate that up to 55% of mangroves have been lost globally since the 1990s.

Mangroves store more than 5️⃣ times more carbon than terrestrial forests & underpin some of the most productive ecosystems on earth.

This article links to my ‘Green Deal Video’, the green industry will create thousands of new jobs whilst helping to end environmental racism by swapping out toxic plants and dumps where some ethnic communities live for clean and fresh renewable energy solutions!

[Climate Reality @ClimateReality]

Supporting climate solutions like renewable energy and electric transportation is a win-win scenario: good for the planet and for economies recovering from the COVID pandemic.

On birdwatching duty now we’ve realised a rare species of birds called Nuthatchs have made our bird box home. Exciting summer developments! #birdwatching #nuthatches #summer

[Harry Watts’ Geography Blog🌍 @WattsBlog]

Disappointing and disgusting scenes of fly tipping that I spotted on my bike ride. If only people were willing to pay the fee to dispose of their waste responsibly. No wonder we need initiatives like the Great British Summer Clean Up! See attached for more info! @hertscc
