Pro saving the planet, equality and being nice to each other. Can't understand why there is so much hate (except for Nicolas Cage)

The USAID cuts are having a devastating impact on the world's most vulnerable. The current estimates are they have already resulted in 300,000 deaths, mostly of children. This is over 100 death per hour

I mean I'm not a fan of the results, and I'd rather the UK population didn't vote for either of those parties, but having 54% of the seats on 31% of the vote, or 5% of the seats on 18% of the results doesn't feel fundamentally representative to me no matter what party

Some good news 🌞💨 We have the technology and solutions, and some countries are choosing to use it and on a massive scale 🙌💚 Catch up EU and US

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

Andy Stevens @itsandystevens.bsky.social · Sep 7

I'm in Lewisham where Labour are dominant and there is a real feeling of just anyone else. That's where Greens need to be visible with positive alternatives and real solutions 💚💚💚

Andy Stevens @itsandystevens.bsky.social · Sep 7

Exactly. And we need to tell them that Reform are just the new tories and Green is the REAL alternative 💚💚💚

Andy Stevens @itsandystevens.bsky.social · Sep 7

Yes I've been really shocked at how many people where this is a genuine choice. It shows how we need to get the green voice out to people in face to face chats, as I find with a short conversation saying things exactly like Zack does here can really open people's eyes

Andy Stevens @itsandystevens.bsky.social · Sep 7

Sorry you are getting this Zack. But it does show how little they've got and how you've rattled them. We have your back!

Andy Stevens @itsandystevens.bsky.social · Sep 7

Another amazing video Zack. This is exactly what we need to be saying. Showing Reform for what they really are & being proud and boldly defend Green Party policies on immigration & the climate. I'm shocked how many people I have doorknocked recently are deciding between voting Green or Reform
