Plasticfree NW Leeds- Climate Kirsty 🐟🐝🇪🇺

It’s amazing what you get in your garden when you put wild flowers in it #nature #flowers #earth #insect #naturephotography 🐝🐞🕷️🌻🪻🌸🦋

Two people walk across an arid bridge in a dried out river in Yorkshire.

🚨 BREAKING: Yorkshire has experienced the DRIEST spring in 132 YEARS - as a drought has officially been declared

This is what the climate crisis looks like 👇

Wise words from Yoda we really don’t want to end up with Darth Farage #MayThe4thBeWithYou

Net Zero: lower energy costs, cleaner air & lots of new jobs through insulting properties & changing our energy system

Not net zero: more energy costs, more polluted air and obsolete fossil fuel industries

Insulating houses, saves money.Saves carbon

You would have to crazy to be against net zero

Finally! Thank you @teamlabouruk.bsky.social I have to say your decisions haven’t me and many others happy with you recently but this I can get behind!

Fruit and vegetables to be grown outside Leeds Civic Hall Plans to grow food in the garden were first suggested last September but are now being considered.

Wow the absolute rubbish the ceo from @thameswater who earns £850k/ year trying to convince us on BBC2 it’s nothing to do with the millions handed out over the years to shareholders whilst they under invested in infrastructure😡no one is buying this 💩 @thames21.bsky.social @henleymermaids.bsky.social

t.co/NBvFFwCNHv Thames Water: Inside the crisis: is anyone watching? They want positive feedback back, what a joke! Will give that when they stop profiting from polluting our rivers! @cleanilkley.bsky.social @thames21.bsky.social @henleymermaids.bsky.social @beneath-b-waters.bsky.social

Thanks I’d only just changed from HSBC who charged £5/mth to Lloyds who were the only community group account who didn’t charge and now they charge £4.25/mth. I’m so fed up I’m ready for quitting it all 😔

I’m so annoyed Lloyds are going to start charging £4.25/mth for our small non profit campaign bank account. I have £80 in there and need the account if I apply for funding.They will bankrupt us in 19months😡how is this fair? @garyseconomics.bsky.social @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com can you help?

Great work @cleanilkley.bsky.social 👏👏

Treasury seeks to keep water firm fines earmarked for sewage cleanups Exclusive: Restoration fund in England could be ‘siphoned off’ to be used for general government spending, not repairing rivers

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Make the water companies pay NOT the taxpayers! This money should be for cleaning up the waterways!

Map shows where sewage has been dumped into UK rivers Weather warnings for wind and rain have been in place because of Storm Eowyn.

Water firm allowed to pour sewage in Windermere using permit from 1989 Treatment works that release sewage into a stream connected to Lake Windermere is 'decrepit, primitive and inadequately maintained', say campaigners

Are you listening @uklabour.bsky.social @10dowingstreet.bsky.social ??

So #YorkshireWater are putting our bills up by 41% 😡 it’s a joke when they’ve paid out so much in dividends. Nicola shaw as ceo gets paid £650k a year and took a £371 k bonus all whilst polluting our Yorkshire rivers with sewage! Seems I have a lot more campaigning to do in 2025

UK inflation = 2.6%

Water bill increases:

Anglian 29%
Northumbrian 21%
Severn Trent 47%
South West 23%
Southern Water 53%
Thames 35%
United Utilities 32%
Wessex 21%
Yorkshire Water 41%

Feeling ripped off?

I’ve just turned on #bbcnews and our water bills are going up by 36% 😡 how can this be allowed when water companies have paid out 72 billion in dividends whilst not investing in the water infrastructure. They’ve had our money and now want more! #SewageScandal

Done and welcome 😊
