Almost a third of the population of Amsterdam 🇳🇱 flooded the streets of the city wearing red in solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸

Thoughts on “Banzeiro Òkòtó: The Amazon as the Centre of the World” by Eliane Brum I grew up in a town, but my body evolved in a forest. The biological work that produced homo sapiens took place over 200,000 years ago on a…

I don't agree with the proposed proscribing of #PalestineAction
Conflating protest with terrorism because it suits arms industry actors is not acceptable. Free speech, democracy and protest are vital parts of a free society.

I travelled around the South East of England to find evidence of what we are doing to the planet. Then I created a book with that evidence. Please support the crowdfunding campaign to get it printed.

Environmental problems like deforestation, pollution and soil degradation are happening everywhere. My new book explores these issues and how they came about. Can you support my crowdfunding campaign to publish it? I would be really grateful.

Exactly. The science of #climatechange represents our best and most accurate knowledge of the subject. This knowledge is the result of hard, investigative work subjecct to scientific discipline. Belief is nothing to do with it.

Science tells us that #climatechange is a threat and it tells us very accurately how much of a threat we face.

I have created a #photobook that explores the global environmental crisis with a series of pictures taken in south-east England. I am running a crowdfunding campaign to raise the funds for printing the book. Please take a look www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/photobook-...

And please share this page! Thanks

Just a reminder that DEI is a clumsy reference to a world in which everyone is treated equally. Treating a fellow human being as an equal doesn't seem like a controversial thing to me.

I have recently rediscovered my love of photography and writing. These activities have been present in my life for a long time but were squeezed out. I have started a newsletter to share what I am doing. If you would like to receive it, please sign up

Quakers condemn police raid on Westminster Meeting House Police broke into a Quaker Meeting House last night (27 March) and arrested six young people holding a meeting over concerns for the climate and Gaza.

One lesson I've learned from history, is that few reputations survive being on the opposite side to the Quakers

We have all seen the pictures of a forlorn polar bear clinging to a tiny ice floe. This picture reminds us that we are also the victims of the chaos we have created on Earth.

My congratulations @elizabethgadd.bsky.social , stunning picture.

💥 BREAKING 💥

A thousand people have come to London today to sit on the Strand outside the Royal Courts of Justice.

This is to signal to the justice system against imprisoning peaceful protesters who are acting to defend planetary and public health.

Huge win for the climate! The Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields are ruled unlawful and consent quashed.

Amazing victory for @stopcambo.bsky.social and @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social and so pleased that my win on Horse Hill contributed to this.

I joined protestors outside the RCJ today because our politicians continue not only to ignore the evidence of climate breakdown , but accelerate our species collapse with this obsession over growth above all else .

No growth on a dead planet , solidarity with the #LordWalney16

When maximum sentence for chaining yourself to railings is over twice maximum sentence for racially aggravated assault, anyone who cares about justice should be appalled. This is a dangerous, undemocratic & disproportionate attack on longstanding right to peaceful protest in UK #DefendOurJuries

Britain has become a world-leader in cracking down on climate activism & right to peaceful protest is under attack as never before. Solidarity with brave #16 who are appealing their draconian sentences today. Big Oil should be in the dock, not peaceful protesters. Me for @guardian👇#DefendourJuries

How The World Really Works by Vaclav Smil is a fascinating book. It reveals just how complex our world is, and how dependent we have become on fossil fuels. This is my review. link.medium.com/ESX2i66CzQb

A brilliant and eloquent statement about a horrific situation.

No, just end it. Killing animals for entertainment is wrong, totally wrong.

Ever wondered where all the material from your worn down tyres and brake shoes goes? Dripping oil and leaking brake fluid? It ends up in the river. #pollution
