Beginning of the year we had 335 members. This has increased a whopping 85% . We are bowled over by the number of people stepping up and willing to get involved,many of whom are young and keen to instigate a change of direction in the UK towards one of hope, compassion and inclusivity.

First Sight of Land For the first time, the government is consulting on a Land Use Framework for England. It’s an important step, but there’s a long way to go.

The government’s Land Use consultation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to intervene in this critical issue. Here’s my response to it. Please feel free to borrow / copy & paste as much as you want. It’s crucial that we engage. www.monbiot.com/2025/03/23/f...

The opposite of fascism Living well and fighting back in a time of terrors

Love this essay/manifesto by @anandwrites.bsky.social "Because having, and nurturing, in your life a sphere for joy and connection and community and love and food and music and human difference and living and letting live is everything they are not and is everything they are trying to take away."

Ministers urged to ensure climate change is taught across curriculum Experts say teachers want more professional development support to teach climate change and sustainability

Our children will have to live with a changing climate, so need to be equipped to understand the challenges they will face. Attached is an article & linked letter (still open for signatures) to the Education Minister urging her to embed climate change in the curriculum.
