Lizzy is out of the water for 2pack blacking & new anodes - very relieved she only needs some minor welding

On 1 May you can give your vote to a party that is principled, practical and cares about the same things you do.

Vote Green for real hope and real change.
Tried to vote and found out I wasn’t on the electoral roll any more as marina addresses are a nightmare.. impressed that a quick phone call sorted it 👌🏻

Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Netflix, Apple, Microsoft dodged $278bn US corporation taxes over 10 years.

Paid 18.8%, compared with 29.7% US average. Profits shifted to low/no tax jurisdictions.

Same companies operate in the UK, dodge taxes, create social squalor. Force companies to publish tax returns.

Got my first road bike recently and it's bloody lovely! Keep finding excuses to go out on it 😀

Bought from local charity 'Recycle4Rotary' who have saved hundreds of bikes from landfill and raised a fortune for local causes

Democracy may be in decline. But we can still vote with our money. Divest away from banks that fund fossil fuels, tobacco and weapons companies.

Some of the most ethical UK banks are:

Triodos
The Co-operative Bank
Nationwide

Some boffin is banging on at me about how “the carbon footprint of tree planting is bad” whilst I’ve just agreed to buy a bamboo bike from my friends at Bristol-based Netham Bamboo Bikes for trailer hauling stakes around the field to displace quad bikes. www.nethambamboobikes.co.uk

🚨SHOCKING: By 2030, the amount of Coca-Cola’s plastic waste in our oceans could be enough to fill the stomach of 18 million whales!

We can’t recycle our way out this madness. It’s time to tackle the problem at the source.
Got this industrial strength shredder kit to process HDPE plastic (milk bottle tops) so we can make things out of it. Quality product from Sustainable Design Studio
