Thank you FoE for finding the right words for such a terrible situation.

And sending my personal thoughts to the Jewish people in my community in Barnet. We stand with you against hate.

Friends of the Earth @friends-earth.bsky.social · 9d

We condemn the appalling attack on Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester.

To all of those facing increasing violence and hostility on the basis of their race, faith or where they're from, please know that we stand alongside you.

I don't think the media realises they don't need to tell people to eat less meat to help climate and biodiversity issues, they just need to help people eat more beans (and other veggies)!

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

Absolute treat to find this little one in my garden this evening!

It was in an area that wouldn't have been easy for it to get out, so it was moved into the veg beds, where it can hopefully snack on all the visiting 🐌🐌🐌🐌

I loved sharing plants from Incredible Edible Barnet with people from across Barnet and beyond. And the food was delicious too 😋

Please please please please please can this government not go down the route of the last lot who changed department secretaries every five minutes.

Surely it takes at least ten to figure out what's going on and sort out some of the 1000s of issues.

It's called #Climateflation… It's pushing food prices ever higher – and changing how we eat.

Extreme heat, droughts & floods are proving disastrous for farmers on the frontline of #climatecrisis, disrupting supply chains, and intensifying inflationary pressures.
www.theguardian.com/business/202...

‘Climateflation’ could push up UK food prices by more than a third by 2050, report says

Data from www.pan-uk.org/pesticide-free

Check your council too and ask them to stop using pesticides in your town if you don't like what you find!

Ask your council to end the use of urban pesticides

Get involved!

I've been digging into PAN's latest data about council's use of pesticides in 2024 and sadly it's not a pretty picture in Barnet 😞

Compared to other London LAs, Barnet council:

👎 Used the most herbicides (3546 l/kg)
👎 Was 5th worst for litres per sq km
👎 Was 7th worst for cost (£120k)
