More social housing needed!
All new houses to be properly insulated!
All old homes to be properly insulated!
And so on.
Labour just doesn't understand how to make homes safe and comfortable.
Labour's simplemindedness will be its downfall - and ours. You can't build and bulldoze your way out of the housing crisis. Unless you also change the system, you'll still leave millions without decent homes. My column today explains why.

Home truths: the only thing Labour is building is a bigger, more dysfunctional housing market | George Monbiot

Pet owners accidentally poisoning garden birds.
Our latest research finds pet flea treatments (fipronil and imidacloprid) in 100% of blue tit and great tit nests, with nestling mortality higher in the more contaminated nest. @SongBirdSBS @SussexUni @CannelleTassin

We should really really copy Paris.
According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Plant a lot more urban trees.

One of the less-noticed but more entertaining political subplots of this parliament is Labour MP Polly Billington writing repeatedly to Claire Coutinho to ask her why she is condemning green policies that she introduced herself while in government.
It’s with a heavy heart that I’ve been forced to write to Claire Coutinho again.

Who makes those tracks in the meadow? - there are no sheep and few Badgers here.
The Hare & the Roe Deer.

If you enjoy my clips then it would be great if you could reSky them. Video clips are not yet picked up in Feeds here & so it's difficult to get them seen. Thank you

"Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' Scotland rewilding project."

Read that again: **116** times.

Why are we STILL having to argue the case for rewilding??
