Fossil fuels wont save you, your community will. Campaigner, volunteer, slow walker, community forests climate action. Foraging, guide leader, educator, crafivist obvs! πŸ˜‰ If you need someone to lead a protest ask an environmentalist.. we have good form.

These Words Are Disappearing in the New Trump Administration (Gift Article) Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.

Truly bonkers. Words to be avoided or limited includes clean energy, climate crisis, and climate science. Also includes women, female/s, and feminism. And obviously anything relaying to LGBTQ+ people beyond solely the words represented by L, G and B!

Someone has persistently tried to derail a community led #ForagingGarden project. They claimed the wildlife would be negatively impacted. Tossing their shit over the fence is impacting the wildlife. #Busted #NoMorePlasticOnSite πŸ‘€ #ISeeYou #Wildlife #Community #Nature

I'm sick of the presumptions that @teamlabouruk.bsky.social is making. I'm middle aged, middle class. I'm also caring, compassionate & furious to the point of protest about the lack of empathy & action on climate.

And yet my daughter can't use the wood burner in her freezing rental property because of regulations.

It's becoming an act of rebellion... Take your children outside, let them play, allow them to take risks, encourage bravery, show compassion, teach empathy. Only good things will come from it. #Nature #OutdoorPlay #NaturalParenting #Protect

Still no mention of compassion or empathy in Westminster. They are missing a trick.

So incredibly proud of Rangers across the pond at their leadership. If you need someone to lead a protest, ask an environmentalist. #WeHavePrevious

Labour MPs ordered to sink landmark climate and environment bill Exclusive: Supporters of bill say Labour has already insisted on removal of clauses requiring UK to meet targets agreed at Cop and other summits

Refusing to implement legislation that would oblige the government to meet its international commitments sends the signal that it has no intention of meeting its commitments

It's the very opposite of global leadership and makes a mockery of the multilateral process

Starting to think #EarlyYears #OutdoorLearning workshops & I am aware of practitioners having gaps in their native nature knowledge. Are #EYPs aware & would like to know more or is it just too late to scoop them up? Future generations need to value nature. @creativestar.bsky.social #natureplay

When you're not sure where to start. Surely there must be #UrbanLandscapers that can help #Southend. Is this the future? "plastic trees look nice"! 😨😨

Hello from #Maldon #Essex. The ICB recently ran a flawed "consultation" to close our local hospital that serves over 120k and leave us with blood tests in an old Barclays & a bit of Physio in the out of town leisure centre. We are campaigning for what is a statutory responsibility. #StPeters

Well done, thank you so much for the updates, you provided a way to get info without any fluff & nonsense that was easy to convey & share to anyone with an interest. The links were fab! I've learnt loads 😁

We need to listen to elders more. The loss of 'community' & the desire for 'community' provide us with huge opportunities for local change. We can't change what's happening globally but locally YOU can be the person who makes a difference. There is wisdom from those who have trod this path before

Every time I see one of your posts I can't take you seriously anymore. Stop with the ridiculous closures of #RainhamMarshes & #Dungeness it's so short sighted & even your own staff say senior management are deaf to their suggestions.

Me too... Her work came up in an auction last year and I wasn't brave enough to bid just that bit more. I've regretted it ever since.

@rspb.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social it's tragic that the organisation has succumbed to ego & income targets. The 'cost cutting closures' on the East coast looks like senior management have favourites. What don't you like about nature lovers in Essex & Kent? #RainhamMarshes #Dungeness

Loophole exempts 355 landowners in England from inheritance tax, data shows Chancellor urged to cancel tax break that uses scheme to register land as heritage asset and worth at least Β£68m

This limp, 'looking after the land/available for public view' stance, is taken advantage of by a large estate on the East Sussex Downs.
