Frontiers | Reducing meat consumption with consumer insights and the nudge by proxy: the anomaly of asking, the power of protein, and illusions of insufficiency and availability High global meat consumption presents significant environmental challenges. Interventions to reduce meat consumption, such as carbon labelling, have shown mo...

People thinking that Reform's suggestions of getting rid of legal immigrants will fix the NHS have no idea how much it will hurt healthcare. Immigrants & children of immigrants keep the NHS functioning. Same with social care.

Beef, pork, chicken: the world loves cheap meat. If people knew what really goes in it, that love affair would be over | Devi Sridhar Antibiotic use in farming is now rampant. How meat is produced in China may mean the drugs you need here won’t work, says Prof Devi Sridhar, chair of global public health at the University of Edinburg...

Remember this, whenever someone says "alternative proteins - yuck!"

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

How the world’s taste for soya is eating Brazil’s Amazon Cultivation of the crop has made a few wealthy but at a huge cost to untouched forest as it spreads across vast areas of former wilderness

This article misses 2 important points:
1. Soya is the secondary driver of Amazon deforestation, the primary cause is cattle ranching,
2. More than three-quarters of soya produced worldwide is fed to livestock.
Directly or indirectly, it is the meat industry that is eating Brazil's Amazon.

The billionaire class want you thinking Israel controls the West Western elites don’t care what you think or say, so long as you don’t notice that they are the ones making money from a genocide, asset-stripping western economies and trashing our planet

By changing our diets now, we can avoid the food chaos that climate change is bringing By choosing to transform how we grow food and what we eat – rather than letting climate change dictate the pace of change – we have so much to gain.

Where would I start? Discouraging short car trips for those who can walk, obvs, and taking steps like banning pavement parking and fixing pelican crossings to make walking easier and quicker. Getting house builders to stop building car-dependent transport deserts could also be a lasting impact

THIS WAS ALWAYS THE POINT.

When they talk about 'red tape' they usually mean health and environmental regulations. Business lobbyists call it red tape when they don't want to be seen to publicly hate wildlife and people.

Imagine if BBC spent as much time on the dangers of climate collapse as they do on immigration. Imagine the public response when they realise what the real danger is to our children & who is causing it. Instead of anger at refugees there’d be anger at oil companies, media bosses, politicians & BBC.

Gaza: Dozens killed by Israeli gunfire near aid distribution sites, Hamas-run ministry says More than 100 others were also injured near two sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, according to the Hamas-run health ministry and civil defence agency.

These IDF 'mistakes' are happening with such sickening regularity one might think it was intentional....

I am all for decarbonization, but this is a tax subsidy for car ownership and for cementing public space as someone's personal car parking space. We will never be able to remove a parking space to plant a tree or install on street bike parking where a home owner has licensed such a cable.

I'm back in court today fighting the legality of overgrazing on Dartmoor .

0.1% of protected sites across the park are in favourable environmental condition , yet we still spend millions in taxpayer cash propping up loss-making , destructive sheep farming .

It has to change .

The police (wrongly) inform a peaceful protestor that holding a Palestinian flag and signs deploring genocide is an offence under the Terrorism Act. This is the deranged policing environment the government has created.

Israel has murdered more starving Palestinian civilians queuing for food from its "distribution hubs" (798) than the total number of Israeli civilians (695) killed on 7th October.

On top of the 80,000 people (over 25,000 kids) it's already butchered.

Whoever did this wins the internet today.🏆

Can’t make this up.

MPs have taken over £2.3m from private healthcare, exposed by Every Doctor campaign.

Meanwhile at Epsom Hospital, porters & cleaners are told there’s no money for basic NHS pay.

Let's make sure we've got the basics covered and defend our NHS.

Coming any day now, I'm sure of it

Swifts’ decline: how can Britons help these remarkable birds? Campaigners are calling for compulsory ‘swift bricks’ in new homes to provide nesting sites

Swifts are amazing. A single swift can fly 2 million miles in its lifetime with a top speed of nearly 70 mph 😳 Yet they’re under pressure as never before. Please do as @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social asks - lobby your MP to overturn this Govt’s obdurate refusal to mandate swift bricks in new homes 👇

Revolutionise Britain's roads, charities urge A new report from The Bikeability Trust & Living Streets calls on the Department for Transport to revolutionise Britain’s roads.

To insult two highly respected and free thinking politicians like this is disgraceful.
It just shows how far standards in society have fallen.
Anyone reposting this insulting photograph should feel utterly ashamed.
