A light purple and yellow dusk sky over a darkening sea with bushy grass in the foreground with a sandy path running through it to the beach.
A path running through the valley between two lush green hillsides, dotted with dark green trees.
A path through grass under the canopies of towering oak trees. There are benches dotted throughout the grass in the distance.
Great Big Green Week has begun!
It’s the UK’s biggest celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature. We can all make small swaps, large swaps and swaps that change the system, to make our communities better.

England has had the second worst harvest on record. This is what erratic weather because of a heating climate does. We are genuinely walking into a calamity beyond comprehension. 40 years of ignored warnings. eciu.net/media/press-...

Have written about Starmer's speech- his best moment yet as PM. He implicitly identified what sits at the heart of this story: the emergence of a common UK/US online right, headed by the radicalised Musk.
It is making extremist, until recently fringe politics mainstream in British conservatism.
The planet will survive .. we are killing our species and so many others

Dartmoor visitor centre to close as National Park Authority cannot afford to renew lease from Duchy
National Parks are facing 12% budget cuts - not a great way for Labour to celebrate the 75th anniversary of their creation
& why is Duchy charging at all?

When someone dies or is injured on the city’s roads, survivors and bereaved families are the ones most directly affected. However, it indirectly affects everyone within the city too. The total societal cost of killed and seriously injured casualties in the West Midlands for 2023 was £444 million. Road deaths and serious injuries in Birmingham during 2023 account for approximately £205 million of the regional costs (almost 50%). The costs are calculated annually based on estimated real costs for lost output, medical and ambulance, police, insurance and damage to property. Currently every fatality is estimated to cost £2.4 million, and when a person is seriously injured, £271,00015.
A new Birmingham City Council scrutiny report has highlighted the enormous financial burden of road harm, with road casualties costing around £205 million in Birmingham EVERY year.
The current status quo is not only unacceptable on a human level but also economically ruinous.

Lloyds are changing it to a 'community' account and now charging £4.25 monthly .. a lot on our small budget. Talk about taking the biscuit!
