A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

Please sign - let's get lead gone!
Lead has been poisoning our wildlife and communities for decades – but now we have a chance to turn things around.

And while we’re not in favour of a ban, we agree with

Well worth watching
