A vote for The Green Party is never wasted.
1) Every Green vote at a General Election gives us a tiny amount of money towards paying for a Parliamentary office with staff to help us
2) Every Green vote is an indicator to the other parties that the environment is important.
3) And we win seats!

Helsinki has gone a whole year without a road death. It is possible.

Let’s go inside Bryn Celli Ddu Neolithic passage tomb!

Built about 5,000 years ago to align with the rising sun on the Summer Solstice! 🌅

Look for the stone pillar inside the burial chamber, like a tomb guardian keeping watch from the shadows!

This is infuriating. What is the point of a Marine Protected Area if trawlers are allowed to keep ploughing it?
Yet again, the government has succumbed to commercial lobbying.

Sadly, must agree w/your comment about humanity's effect on Nature..yet, still, as the piece shows, we CAN act to improve things, + Nature will respond in a positive way. If only we could have coordinated, pro-active policies to avoid harming water, air, land. It would ultimately serve us better. 💚

This. We need to filter runoff and also reduce at the source. Several groups have developed onboard filtration systems for vehicles to capture brake dust and tire particulates. Mann+Hummel in Germany, and the Tyre Collective in the UK. Properly designed and planted bioswales also go a long way.

Urban run off is a poisonous mix of tyre rubber, brake dust, petrol, motor oil, heavy metals, chemicals from rubbish, as well as fertilisers and pesticides and other pollutants.
It's a disaster for our water courses after heavy rainfall.
We are a toxic species for Nature.

"In all cases, the officer should consider that arrest is the practical, sensible & proportionate option in all the circumstances."
Why are cops wasting their time arresting elderly priests, blind people in wheelchairs & other peaceful protesters?
Because they're acting under *political* direction.

When @seriverstrust.bsky.social found efforts to restore trout to the River Wandle kept failing they identified road runoff pollution as a possible issue & installed 1 filter at a critical point - after that, after 90 years away, trout began returning.
