We wanted to thank the MPs who support the Climate & Nature Bill, the legislation needed to tackle the climate & nature crisis.
Time to turn words into action by voting for the #CANBill at its Second Reading on 24 Jan.
Play your part, ask your MP to back the bill 👊

The slab of red👇 stretching from Norfolk to High Wycombe, Working to Margate is the chalk aquifer.
Thanks to farming and water companies it is now listed as being in 'Poor' ecological condition.
It is meant to support and supply most of the world's chalk streams.

A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 minutes between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or your garden or community green spaces could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝
