New work for the wonderful @MindCharity to help anyone who thinks they might have an eating problem.

What’s an eating problem and how do I know if I have one?

We've made a new animation to help you understand more about eating problems, and when to get support 👉 https://t.co/jZh4d0UBCv

It’s always okay to reach out for help 💙

[BP or not BP? @drop_BP]

The oil giant BP had been sponsoring...

🏛️The British Museum
🎭The RSC
🎶Royal Opera House
🖼️National Portrait Gallery

...to try and clean up its toxic image!

But thanks to creative activism and action, ALL those deals have now been ended! 🙌

Here's how it happened! 👇👇👇

[Working Progress @working_prog]

We created this animation for @Care4Calais to increase public support for their court case against the Government for its #Rwanda flight policy. The policy is brutal, inhumane and contravenes #refugees' human rights. But there is a viable alternative.

[Care4Calais @Care4Calais]

The Rwanda plan won’t end small boat crossings. Expensive deals with France won’t stop people smugglers. Neither will keep refugees safe.

There is a kinder, safer and more effective option.

Africa's delivered the bill for climate chaos that rich nations caused. Time to take responsibility for your actions — split the cost and pay up @POTUS @RishiSunak @vonderleyen 💰 #COP27

[Clean Creatives @cleancreatives]

Today @UCSUSA is releasing a letter signed by 424 scientists asking @HKStrategies to end their fossil fuel contracts before the UN climate talks in Egypt.

H+K runs the oil industry's international PR. That is incompatible with leading communications for the COP 27 talks.

Finally, something that actually makes sense at the #ToryConference Thank you @GreenpeaceUK

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

BREAKING 🚨
Greenpeace activists have interrupted @TrussLiz speech at #CPC22 to denounce the prime minister 'shredding' her party’s 2019 manifesto promises.

The PM is U-turning on fracking, strong climate action, and world-leading environmental protections.

Who voted for this?

Nice to see the energy just bouncing off the walls at the #ToryConference

The death of a political party, filmed up close for the first time ever. It’s like an Attenborough film about extinction. https://t.co/ktSjrJzNtW

Full echo what Matt said! @GoodFestivalUK was absolutey brilliant - wonderful people, delicious food, inspiring & informative speakers. Sea swims. Thought-provoking workshops. Best two days ever! Thank you @Leapness for helping organise this event and for your general awesomeness

[Matt Hocking (inactive) @Leapness]

@GoodFestivalUK you were magnificent. What a bubbling, conversation inspired, community of action and pausing, enjoying, natural world interacting, speaker incredibleness, change making all the way from micro to macro. Honoured and full of gratitude to all who came and made it 🌏

[Working Progress @working_prog]

@jonsalmon You're brave running near cows! Hope they didn't follow you!!

[Working Progress @working_prog]

YES. @Leapness On board.

[Matt Hocking (inactive) @Leapness]

Could everyone who is decent, cares about our fragile ecosystems and is in business/life to make a difference just boycott this ridiculously under-achieving COP after COP COPOUT, it's more theme park than change maker. Definitely, it's not a planet fix.
