Well said that man.
You don't have to have a high IQ to be kind. You just have to not be a dickhead. It's that simple.

Please say no to garden poisons such as pesticides and weedkillers, to help keep them out of the food chain. Hedgehogs, for example, can eat over 100 invertebrates every night.

Within two years the bare soil and stubble on 90 acres in Denmarkfield has been naturally colonised by 84 plant species

COP continues to fail us– and our planet . There were 1,700 fossil fuel execs present at #COP29 – larger than any other delegation at the conference . That’s why we’re angry– and it’s why I’m petitioning the Government to ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorships .

I thought it might be worth introducing myself here as most people might not know me and what I do.
My name is Niall and I am on a mission to save street dogs around the world.
This is me with Tina. A very special dog. This is my story…. (1/8) 🧵

No mention of Paddington 3. I was expecting to see memes along the lines of Gladdington and Padiator!
“Wicked” and “Gladiator II” were on pace this weekend to sell roughly $380 million in tickets worldwide. In North America, “Wicked” was headed to No. 1.
‘Wicked’ and ‘Gladiator II’ Jump-Start the Box Office, but at a Cost
Battling a 27 percent decline in domestic ticket sales compared with before the pandemic, studios left no marketing drum unthumped in releasing the movies.

Outrage as video shows fox caught in 'barbaric' snare trap on King's Sandringham estate
“This snare was placed alongside a rare Chalk Stream which is regularly used by otters”
Repost if you agree there should be a UK wide ban on these devices!

A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 mins between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or in your garden or community green spaces could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝

🚨 Over 1.4 MILLION emergency food parcels were provided by food banks in our community in just 6 months. This is 69% higher than the same period 5 years ago.
This can't go on and we refuse to stand by while so many of us are pushed to the brink, without enough money to live on.

Ennerdale Water - photo taken last year.
One of the least visited, but most beautiful lakes in the Lake District.
The sheep wrecked valley is finally being restored to its former biodiverse glory by the folks at Wild Ennerdale.

Our clover lawn. The bees love it, as does Honey.
Although she has a separate non-clover toilet area, as have to be very careful not to contaminate with worm and flea treatments.
