2 days ago we had our first new domestic #COVID19 cases in #FaroeIslands since April.
These became 14 new cases yesterday & 38 new today! Seems that the origin is from 1 person.
Almost 1600 people tested yesterday, 3% of our population in one day! This is vital to regain control.

What do the other 28% think ? Keep destroying the planet ? Great strategy for Long Term survival. Business can’t be a bystander in a system that gives it life in the first place.

I’d love to see Guernsey’s version of this in a prominent public place as Jersey has recently done. Climate stripe for each year since we started recording weather in Guernsey to show the rising temperatures. @TransitionIslds

Want to hear some great news?
In 2019, 73% of household waste in Guernsey was recycled.
That's massive - we reckon top of Europe and possibly the world.
Be proud of this achievement, because it's yours. Thank you, and well done.

Land use change is a key driver of the emergence of new zoonoses.
And when wild animals are pushed out of forests, it becomes more likely that diseases can pass to domesticated animals or humans.

Mother nature will not let us forget that #climatechange is a major risk to the well-being of people and economies. We need to pursue climate-friendly growth in the future. ow.ly/QVtH50zpZDU #ACFrontPage
