People of Scotland. Nature Needs You. And swift bricks could be mandated in Scotland if we work together now. The RSPB Scotland has this e-action for anyone based in Scotland action.rspb.org.uk/page/181323/...
Ask your MSP to act for Scotland's wildlife.
MSPs will debate one of the most important nature bills in a generation on the 19th of November. Take action and make sure they back a strong Bill that protects wildlife, not weakens it.

Utterly compelling, deeply alarming. Wim Carton @wimcarton.bsky.social and Andreas Malm's The Long Heat (following Overshoot from last year) sets out the extent to which we are fucked. The planet is overheating. Fossil-fuel capitalism is doing it, and it is not stopping. From @versobooks.bsky.social
