36 pence for a dead baby octopus, one of the most amazing creatures to ever swim the seas. I swear we do not deserve this world. 😢

7 million cows in Ireland. Let that sink in for a minute. We’re not eating all these animals - they’re going abroad. Our precious countryside is getting trashed for the animal export industry; contaminated drinking water, wildlife a rarity and declining, and naked mountains.

We're losing our wildlife – including frogs, butterflies, bees, hedgehogs, moths, bats, insects, birds, and toads. But there are 16 million gardens in the UK – so if more of us garden in a wildlife-friendly way, we can start to turn this around! Who's in?

In Scotland, average deadwood volume in our pinewoods sits at 21m³/ha with our target, based on saproxylic species requirements, being 20m³/ha. However natural boreal forests can have 80-100m³/ha. We must aim higher! #IntlForestDay #ThinkLikeAMountain #SBPNextGen

A good reminder on #international forestsday as we start a new week, of just how foundational and how precious are our forests. Your forest garden can mimic nature’s most productive ecosystem: a young woodland 🙂 un.org/en/observances/forest…

The fact that you can now get 10 years in prison for peacefully protesting but only 5 for attacking and raping a woman, says everything you need to know about the priorities of this government and their attitude to everyday people. #FascistBritain #womendontmatter #arrestyourown

We're heading for 427 ppm by 2025. Research shows warming soils and plants may well contribute as much as 66 ppm within decades. What is the worst case scenario for humanity if we do hit +550 ppm by the 2070s?
Due in large part to the burning of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have now risen about 50% above the preindustrial level. At recent rates of growth, we would reach double the preindustrial by ~2075.

This is a big part of Britain’s litter problem. Chronic lack of enforcement of laws by @EnvAgency and @HighwaysEngland @BBCJustinR
#economicskips truck reg WU68 LXO spewing litter out of open top garbage truck all the way down the A2 from Falconwood coast bound on Monday 1st March at 08:59. Unbelievable lack of duty of care by an authorised waste carrier. What you gonna do @EnvAgency? #nothing #useless

A cycle lane in Shoreham, West Sussex, popular with families and commuters, has been removed. We say the council's decision was "irrational and unlawful" and we're taking them to court. Find out more and how to support our legal challenge at: 👉 cyclinguk.org/shoreham

We have more horses than dairy cows in the US (9.5 vs 9 Million). Not to mention 140 Million dogs & cats consuming the equivalent amount of food as 70 Million people. Curious why cows but never horses, dogs or cats are an environmental issue. Food for thought.
