Every day should be #WorldEnvironmentDay. The environmental destruction that our planet is facing won't suddenly disappear after today is over.

Holly Gillibrand tells #SGPConf says Scotland is ecological desert where 20% of land mass is used as grouse moor & gamekeepers shoot competing species - then shot grouse too. "It's not the youth who will save world, it's you. Young people will keep fighting till adults grow up."

this Little Egret has wintered in the Arisaig/Back of Keppoch area of Lochaber, Highland, probably the 1st time a bird has wintered here. Still able to feed and fly well, it has clearly had an altercation, possibly with a Heron. Images by Stephen MacDonald #highlandbirds

It is important that children are encouraged to spend more time in nature and less on their screens. It benefits our mental health and raises the next generation of environmentalists! #rewilding #YoungRewilders Pic via @ScotlandTBP

#Climatestrike week 9. It rained sleet and snow. The cold snap has come after a depressingly warm February and wildlife that has come out of hibernation may not survive. So please join the world in school striking next Friday, the 15th of March. #FridaysForFuture
