We live in challenging times. It is completely valid to have difficult feelings about the climate and ecological crisis.

Listening Circles: Join us next week on Tuesday 11th November 6 - 7.45pm for the LAST listening circle of the year:

Campaign group Restore Nature with @davegoulson.bsky.social are fighting to protect Todrig from turning into an ecological desert in the form of a spruce plantation– Scot Forestry didn’t even think it deemed an environmental impact assessment . Beggars belief .

Are you being mugged off by the gas companies? It's the #GreatGasRipOff - take action here act.gp/ggro

From the stall today:
“Our energy bills doubled as a result of the Ukraine War/COVID. These SHOULD NOT be tied to gas prices as renewables are cheaper AND better for the environment. Sort it out and stop making people poor!!!!” - Kat, Sherwood resident

Thanks to the Orchid Cafe in Sherwood for putting up one of our posters. 😎

🚨BREAKING: Small-scale fishermen across Europe are demanding a ban on bottom trawling in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).

If fishermen can see this destructive practice should be banned, why can’t governments?

Guardian headline: Just Stop Oil protesters convicted after being denied right to state climate facts

Judges keep BANNING climate activists from talking about the climate crisis in their evidence in court...

Because they know that juries find them NOT GUILTY when they explain the JUSTIFICATION for their protests

Come and join us as we talk to people in Sherwood about the Great Gas Rip-Off. We're planning to be outside the Co-Op from 10am to 2pm on Saturday 8th November. Sign up and join us for an hour or two. More here: greenwire.greenpeace.org.uk/s/event/a2XR...

STAND UP TO GREEDY GAS COMPANIES!
While greedy gas companies keep setting the price of our electricity, the “Great Gas Rip-Off” will keep squeezing the nation and our wallets dry.
Gas = expensive.
Renewables = cheap.

State of Gandhi behind bars with a security man standing in front.

State of Fawcett behind bars, close up from face to torso.

State of Gandhi behind bars from behind with Parliament in the background.

State of Mandela behind bars, close-up from head to torso.

🚨BREAKING: Activists have imprisoned DANGEROUS TERRORISTS Mandela, Gandhi, and Millicent Fawcett statues in Parliament Square.

They've been placed behind bars to expose the UK's extreme crackdown on protest.

The heroes the government celebrates would be imprisoned today under their extreme laws.

It's Prime Day so here's your regular reminder that:

- Amazon has been exposed for throwing away millions of unused products each year
- Amazon emits MORE CO2 than Hong Kong & Denmark
- Jeff Bezos earns more in 1 MINUTE than many of his workers do in a year

Overconsumption is KILLING our planet

I've got a relatively light Paramo that I've used for about 15 years. I've sent it back for repair 3 times - they offer a great service (as do Alpkit who repair any brand). Paramo has under arm zips which are great for temp control. Paramo jackets can be reproofed at home.

Posters put up in Nottingham.

Last year, we were lucky enough to welcome Dr Jane Goodall to the Greenpeace stage at Glastonbury, where she shared this beautiful message of HOPE in tough times.

Rest in peace, Jane. Thank you so much for all the hope you gave to us all. 💚💚

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Activists have climbed England’s LARGEST gas power station to demand lower energy bills 🚨

(1/4)

This is great news @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social @greenpeacenotts.bsky.social

Latest campaign posters now up around Nottingham.
Many politicians will tell you that gas is cheap and renewables expensive... but it's the other way around!
This campaign addresses that and means lower bills.

We'll be at this on Sunday.
See you there. 😎

How are gas companies getting away with this??

Ultimately, we all want the same thing: cheaper electricity that doesn’t damage our air or the health of our children and communities.

We have the solutions. Now we just need action. Sign the petition to stop the Great Gas Rip-Off --> act.gp/4mcKPAt

Lower our energy bills! Gas companies are raking in high profits while our household bills go up. I've had enough, haven't you? Let's make the UK Government reign in greedy gas for good.

The Great Gas Rip Off!

I'm back in court today fighting the legality of overgrazing on Dartmoor .

0.1% of protected sites across the park are in favourable environmental condition , yet we still spend millions in taxpayer cash propping up loss-making , destructive sheep farming .

It has to change .

"Fantastic day for climate and nature change today in London with Greenpeace 💚
Met with @jeevunsandher.bsky.social MP who agreed to drive campaigns to stop flooding and put the crisis on the national curriculum.
Great to meet fellow local campaigners and from all around the UK 🌈💚🌼" Janey D.
