An interesting read on #TfL's plans to 2030: board.tfl.gov.uk/documents/s2... Good to see further investment in #walking and #cycling although given #cycle journeys grew over 12% in 2025 the target of c 6-7% growth to 2030 seems rather unambitious.

Ed Miliband, the current Sec of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, in 2018: "We owe it to future generations not just to have good environmental principles, but to act on them. That’s why I will be voting against the third runway at Heathrow." So why the silence now Ed? #Don'tGrowHeathrow

Anyone who thinks The Nightmare before Christmas is just a movie hasn't visited a supermarket today!!! Aaagghhh!!!! Lots of great things about Christmas (family time, friends, frosty walks) but it also feeds a consumption frenzy which we find hard to resist.

Excellent letter from @london.gov.uk's environment committee to DfT on #Heathrow: www.london.gov.uk/sites/defaul... Interesting they say "the combustion of SAF in aircraft creates almost exactly the same emissions as kerosene"

If you live by a busy road and are worried about #AirPollution then here's some useful advice on plants that can help: www.rhs.org.uk/garden-desig... Another example of how nature can help to solve man-made problems if it's given a chance.
