One of the busiest #cycle routes in #Cambridge, used by 3,000 cyclists at peak times, will be redesigned into a “Cycle Street” to prioritise #cyclists and #pedestrians over #motorists.

You might think that the mayor of Yellowknife, the capital of Canada's vast Northwest Territories, would be a fan of giant pickups.

Nope. He's disgusted by car bloat.

Any Questions? - Aphra Brandreth MP, Lord Carlile, George Monbiot, Emma Reynolds MP - BBC Sounds Alex Forsyth presents political debate from The Square at Chester Zoo.

I was on Any Questions last night. I think it was a good discussion, which became quite fierce at times.
We debated the vile attack in Manchester, the right to protest, the Tories' crazy climate stance and how to rescue politics.

The rich must eat less meat Scientists say rich countries need to eat a lot less meat. Will the environmental movement finally listen?

“For the past 2 decades, scientists have…landed on the same takeaways—esp. that rich countries must shift their diets to be more plant-based. But that message has, with few exceptions, failed to incite action by governments and food companies, or even the environmental movement itself.” #EatLancet

#ULEZ works.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Over the past 20 years, #Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for #bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 #parking spaces which has significantly improved air quality.

Over 89,000 #electric #trucks were sold in the first half of 2025, up 140 percent from the same period last year. #China accounted for almost 80,000 of those, with sales in #Europe making up most of the balance. #US sales shrunk to just 200 units.

Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here | George Monbiot Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

“When you consider the ecocide alongside the genocide, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians & their homeland”

Meat is a leading emissions source – but few outlets report on it, analysis finds Sentient Media reveals less than 4% of climate news stories mention animal agriculture as source of carbon emissions

Friends: Want to do something profoundly good for your health & the planet? Eat less (or no) meat.

Journalists: How about you? Report on the profound harms of commercial meat production on planetary health.

Brilliant from @kevinclimate.bsky.social as always - making abundantly clear the inconvenient truth this Govt is forever trying to duck & dodge: expanding aviation capacity is fundamentally incompatible with the UK’s climate obligations

One day America's Age of Stupid will end.

Critics of renewables often point to land use as a reason not to invest in wind & solar. Land use IS a real issue for all energy assets incl renewables (unless on-site).

But what critics conveniently forget is the huge land impact of fossil fuels. Aerial view of fracking sites in Wickett, Texas. 👇

Rich Frequent flyers.

When did anyone ever say, "I can't go on holiday this year because we don't have enough airport capacity in the south east of England.

Local people get the noise and pollution, while the profits go elsewhere.

#Gatwick Airport expansion, in a #climate emergency, is plane stupid.

ICE cars waste ~80% of fuel as heat, noise & friction. 🔥 EVs flip the script: electricity flows straight to the drivetrain, no messy conversions. With regen, 87–91% of energy drives the wheels. ⚡ That’s 3–5× more efficient, cheaper to run & cleaner for the planet. 🚗🔋🌍 #EV #Efficiency #Future #LFP

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

It doesn’t matter if you’re working class or a billionaire: climate change will hurt your grandchildren.

That’s why I cannot understand oil executives who sacrifice the planet’s health for their short-term profits

We must transform our energy system away from fossil fuels NOW.

Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT.

I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

#Hydrogen powered cars never made sense.

The Embankment cycleway (CS3) in London was purposefully built to be wider than was usual in order to future proof it.

Some said it would hardly be used.

Now there’s a decent case for widening it further.

Induced demand is real.

Well done #Finland and #Sweden. Mobile #phones need to be kept out of our schools.
