What can we learn from the pioneers who started the citizen science beach cleanup movement?
I wrote about the lessons we can learn from their plastics activism for the conversation.

1 week today the cross-party Climate and Nature Bill #CANBill is debated in Parliament. Will we have enough MPs there to vote it through? We don't know 😕

It's not too late to write to your MP to ask them to clear their diary and commit. Template provided by @zero-hour.bsky.social ⤵️

Alastair Humphreys @alastairhumphreys.bsky.social · Jan 17

Zero Hour is the campaign for the Climate and Nature Bill – a plan for a new UK law that addresses the full extent of the climate and nature crisis in line with the most up-to-date science. Please write to your MP to back it:
