Possible is a climate charity focused on positive climate action. Our vision: A zero carbon society, built by and for the people of the UK. Our mission: inspiring people in the UK to take the action the climate crisis demands.
Hyde Park Corner reimagined as a car free space.
London’s air pollution still harms thousands every year.
@mayoroflondon.bsky.social has made great progress, but it’s not enough. We need him to go further and faster to tackle this problem.
📬 Londoners, take action for your health and our climate: action.wearepossible.org/page/174411/...
🚨 Policy progress: The Local Government Association now recognises that councils and civil society support a legal duty for climate action.
A big step forward, thanks to tireless work by

Slower speeds mean safer streets.
New data shows that 20mph limits are making it easier to walk, cycle, and breathe in London.
This is what happens when we design streets for people, not just traffic.

Will you be one of 1,000 people making a small monthly donation towards people-powered climate action?
Thanks for reading, and for letting us be so honest.
Let's build something new together.
wearepossible.org/climatethous...
We're proud of the impact we make as a charity.
We've got big plans for heat pumps, home insulation, fixing hubs, clean energy, low-carbon food, rapid public transport expansion and so much more.
But we need your support to do it.
With lots of people making small, regular donations, we are:
✅ Resilient to sudden financial shocks
✅ Able to plan for the medium - long term
✅ More closely connected to real people
That's why we're seeking support from people like you who care about climate.
We're trying to inspire 1,000 people to give just £2 a month to support our work.
We know that sounds like a pretty standard fundraiser.
But for us, this is a deliberate attempt to build real resilience against the febrile funding landscape.
The reality is that small charities like us are forced to build our foundations on quicksand.
But our work is too important to exist at the permission of hedge funds and oligarchs.
We are trying to build a better way. And we need you.
Just this month, we've had a stark reminder of how fragile the funding landscape is here in the UK.
One of the few funders dedicated to our sort of work was eviscerated overnight by its asset manager with no warning. Gone.
Up to 80% of global climate philanthropy comes from the US, and it's in jeopardy.
President Trump is threatening to remove charitable status from philanthropic foundations.
devex.com/news/devex-n...
This would have a disastrous domino effect, punishing charities like us.
First of all, did you know that just 2% of all philanthropy globally is invested in climate action?
greenfunders.org/wp-content/u... (page 8)
That alone means that the pie of funding available to charities developing climate solutions is too small.
But that's just half the story.
We weren't sure whether to post this thread.
But we decided to be honest about how tough it is to be a small charity working on climate right now.

Cleaning up our air is good for our planet and our health.
As a coalition member, we are calling on the UK govt to back a new Clean Air Act and set targets in line with @whowpro.bsky.social 🌍📊

UK schools are locked into rules that force them to serve meat at least 3x a week, even though a plant-rich diet is healthier and way better for the climate.
Right now the gov is rewriting school food policy. We’ve got a shot to change this.

Frequent fliers are driving up emissions, not family holidays.
It’s not family holidays driving up flight emissions.
Just 3% of population cause quarter of aviation emissions, but we all pay the climate cost.
Fairer aviation taxes would cut emissions without penalising occasional travellers.

Airlines say they’re going net zero — but the orders tell a different story.
✈️ 12× more fossil-fuel planes than zero-emission ones were ordered in 2024.
📉 Billions are still flowing into yesterday’s tech.
Real solutions need real investment, not wishful thinking 👇

Ultra-frequent flyers take six or more flights per year. Why aren't they paying for their pollution?
Ultra-frequent flyers make up just 2.8% of the UK population
But ultra-frequent flyers are responsible for a very large share of aviation emissions
Ask your MP to find out more about taxing frequent flyers are out parliamentary event: wearepossible.org/ffl-event25
NEW | Just 3% of population cause quarter of aviation emissions.
Our new report with @neweconomics.bsky.social calls for tax reform so ultra-frequent flyers taking six or more flights a year pay for their pollution.

France just voted to ban ultra-fast fashion advertising—targeting the exploitative, high-carbon business models of brands like Shein and Temu.

The aviation industry wants us to believe that speculative tech will let them keep expanding without worsening the climate crisis.
But the UK’s ad regulator isn't buying it — and neither are we.
We need to take real action to cut aviation emissions, now.

As cars get bigger, our streets get more crowded, dangerous, and polluted.
Last year, Parisians voted to triple parking charges on the heaviest, most dangerous and polluting cars, like SUVs.
It’s time for UK cities to follow their lead.
