Barclays and HSBC are climate criminals, financing coal oil and gas and ignoring the climate crisis. If you bank with them then its easy to move your money to a more ethical alternative using the current account switch service. www.currentaccountswitch.co.uk

MORE CHICKEN. SAME OLD SH💩T. The Government wants to expand intensive poultry farming. Their plan for all the extra waste? Good question.. 🤔 So we’ve been outside on the streets with a simple message: 📢 Serious about cleaning up our rivers? STOP the expansion of Big Chicken.

Just finished reading Food Fight by @stuartgillespie.bsky.social . It's fascinating to see how exactly the same corporate tactics operate in the food world as with respect to climate change. Corporate capture of governments, spreading doubt on science, profits before people etc.
Cover of the book Food Fight by Stuart Gillespie.

But renewables are too expensive according to the muppets in the Tory and Reform parties. #Rosebank and Jackdaw will do nothing to change this. We need more renewables and greater electrification.

The people who claim to be interested in food security should be campaigning to reduce animal agriculture. But no, it's all about a few solar farms.

Are you starting to have more environmental chats but finding them a struggle? Do you want to include the Earth Crisis in how you engage with people & do your work? Want more creative & effective methods? I've worked really hard for 4 years to create the Earth Talk community of practice.

Just one of the ways in which Shell, like all the fossil fuel companies, manipulate their accounts to swindle governments. Burning the world is such a profitable business.

Changing diets is a win-win for the climate and health, to say nothing of curbing animal abuse. Why do all governments run a mile from any suggestion that they address such a fundamental problem?

Shifts to plant-rich diets in the UK would reduce diet emissions by 61% & free land the size of Scotland (an extra “2 x Wales” for vegan diets). If the land was rewilded, it could capture carbon, boost biodiversity & improve resilience to climate shocks. Other potential uses also bring benefits. 2/
