Low-cost flights up to 26 times cheaper than trains - Greenpeace European Unit
Brussels, 21 August 2025 β A new Europe-wide Greenpeace study shows that climate-damaging flying is still cheaper than taking the train on a majority of cross-border routes β even though…
Across 142 routes in Europe, trains are on average twice as expensive as flights
On some routes, they are 26 times the price
Low-cost airlines profit from unfair tax exemptions, but trains are burdened with VAT, energy taxes and high track fees
Governments and the EU must stop rewarding polluters

Bogs deserve better | Yorkshire Peat Partnership
The language we use to discuss peatlands undermines and maligns them; they absolutely deserve more from us...
Heads up, peatniks, it's #BogDay! We hope you'll enjoy this blog post from @lyndonmarquis.bsky.social about why the #GreatNorthBog needs to be appreciated for more than just a list of ecosystem services: www.yppartnership.org.uk/blog/lyndon-...

"Agropastoral activities have impacted the habitable part of our planetβthe βCritical Zoneββfor thousands of years (...)
They disrupted the balance between soil formation and erosion, leading to erosion rates 3 to 10 times faster than soil production since the end of the Ice Age."

Ask your MP to show their support for a people-first future for our water!
We can make our water work for people - not shareholders - but water lobbyists are working hard to shut this solution down. Will you make sure your MP hears about it?
Our privatised water system is broken - and water lobbyists have worked hard to shut down alternatives.
In July the Peopleβs Commission is launching a people-first vision for our water in Parliament.
Your MP needs to hear about it: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...
