Last year I got South Lanarkshire Council to declare a nature emergency and take more steps to protect nature. l will continue to work on this so more can experience the benefits of boosting nature for its own sake as well as for individuals, customers and staff well being.

That's why laws or permissions / processes are in place to protect them. No one is above the law and there is a live investigation being carried out as per the BBC update here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There is more than enough wealth in this country to end poverty and fund our NHS.

Communities have been punished by decades of Tory and Labour cuts, whilst the super-rich have hoarded Scotland's wealth.

Far too much of Scotland's land is hoarded by a small group of the extremely rich.

But we can change that.

Scottish Greens are working to strengthen the upcoming Land Reform Bill to boost community ownership and put Scotland’s land in Scotland’s hands.
Public 'overwhelmingly' supports bigger changes on land reform, say charities

In Scotland two families own more wealth than 1.3 million people.

We're one of the wealthiest countries in history, but that wealth is concentrated in the hands of a tiny few.

That's why a wealth tax on the super-rich is supported by an overwhelming majority of Scots.
STV News. Wealth tax on ten richest Scots 'could lift 30,000 children out of poverty'. A tax of 2% levied against those with assets worth £10m or more could bring in £492m a year from Scotland's ten richest families, study finds.

I've been contacted by a number of people about the tree felling at the former Carrigans at Strathaven road next to Calderglen Country Park. I'm gathering some more information and will do an update when I hear back. Thank you for highlighting this and for caring for the trees.

Three local grants closing soon - one for young people focussing on reuse, then two for communities to look at climate impacts and climate action. So whether its food, products, travel, energy, greenspaces or waste, have a look and see if these grants can help your group. Happy to help in any way.

Let me know how the weekend's storm affected you. With climate change induced more frequent and severe weather, we need take stock and adapt. That's what will be done after our climate emergency motion passed last week. Report flooding and trees down via the council's website / out of hours numbers.

It's time to fix the rigged economy from one that serves the super rich, to one that serves people and planet.

Today I've joined parliamentarians from across the political spectrum in calling on Kemi Badenoch to rethink her dangerous position on the climate and net zero - a position which puts Britain's economic strength, national security, and environmental leadership at risk.

Love this. Thank you Jane Goodall. We all need hope: look to and support young people and nature to help us bounce back to a brighter future.

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. 💚💚
