Millions of tonnes of toxic sewage sludge spread on UK farmland every year Exclusive: Experts call for stricter regulation as current rules set in 1989 require testing for only a few heavy metals

At @fightingdirty.bsky.social, we sued over this issue, and lost on the grounds that the Environment Agency couldn't be in breach because the government had issued no direction. An absurdity, which means that poisons continue to be spread on farmland every day. 🧵

Does this include organic farms? @thesoilassociation.bsky.social ? @riverford.bsky.social ?

Bring water firms in England and Wales into public ownership, commission urges Exclusive: experts’ report says public ownership would mean cheaper bills, less pollution and more investment

Hear hear! Including all that lovely land in National Parks. Bring it into public ownership.

As an atheist I'm delighted that the new Pope favours the continuity of Francis. I'm gladdened that his will represent real Christianity and stand up for the poor, the oppressed and our planet. May he be blessed by his God. He'll need it.

I love that I can winge on here & as it's not directed at anyone specific I can get away with it.
I'm SO TIRED OF BEING ASKED TO WRITE COPY FOR FREE!
An hour or two's work is still work even if you're an author. Sheesh. Thank you for listening friends. :-)

"The dictionary defines an environmentalist as 'a person who seeks to improve the quality of the natural environment and to protect it from harmful human activity. That's you, that's me. That's all the sane ones who live on this Earth." Isabel Losada, from The Joyful Environmentalist

Thank you Karin. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I think it’s the only book about the environment that is I hope both radical and has humour. :-) x

Who asked Tony Blair what he thinks anyway?

I’d quite like a Buddhist president

I feel nauseous

Thank you Melanie. I needed this today.

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

A view of Earth rising above the Moon's horizon, taken from space. The Moon's barren, gray surface stretches across the lower portion of the image, while Earth appears as a small, vibrant blue-and-white sphere against the vast blackness of space.

Earth Day is a reminder that we only have one planet. Sometimes, it takes seeing Earth from space to truly grasp how precious it is. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)

Amen.

“Today, however, we have to realize that a true ecological approach always becomes a social approach; it must integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.”
― #PopeFrancis,

Pope Francis: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of life and ideas! For all of us are children of God!"

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

I loved his writing on the planet and our relationship with the Earth. It was truly moving and inspirational.

Go for it John. I hope your event goes very well. X
