The second image shows the urgency of the climate emergency, action is needed to make our infrastructure fit for the future.

This is one of the reasons I started More Than Broccoli in 2022 so I could demonstrate how easy it is now to eat plantbased meals. Most of my family & friends have now found (new) favourite meals with a healthy #vegan swap. Give it a go! Also follow the More Than Broccoli blog for daily inspiration.

Teriyaki roasted vegetables - More Than Broccoli Teriyaki sauce and roasted vegetables are a match made in heaven.

What's your favourite vegetable? Mine, you guessed it, is broccoli. Pick your favourite veggies, add chickpeas for some #plantbased protein, roast them with teriyaki sauce, serve with brown rice.. an easy and delicious meal 🍜 #veganfood full recipe:

Pasta bake with courgette - More Than Broccoli This pasta bake has been inspired by our trip through Sicily. The trick to make it delicious is to choose a quality tomato sauce as your base.

Recently approved by an Italian friend of a friend... my pastabake with courgette! I was nervous to cook this for an Italian but it seems I've paid close enough attention during my travel in Sicily to make this a successful #plantbased meal 🍜 #veganfood

A picture showing a grass field from behind two trees. A flock of sheep are grazing in the field. There's a row of trees behind the field and long grass halfway across the field. A wooden hut stands in the middle of the field.

Beautiful day for some volunteering! A very productive day at Hooves & Tails farm animal sanctuary in Hertford. All sheep had a health check and a hoof trim 🐏 if you're looking to support a local animal welfare charity, consider sponsoring a sheep or goat at Hooves & Tails: www.hoovesandtails.com

The fact that gov can't recognise that science has evolved and that any legislation needs to reflect our new and more in-depth understanding of the issues is beyond me. What good is cross-party support if it's based on outdated actions? Thank you for all your work, it does not go unnoticedπŸ’š
