We welcome the Secretary of State's commitment to invest in tree-planting - but that investment cannot come at a cost to our peatlands. This investment needs to be in peat-free trees. #EndPeatSales Read more loom.ly/tuoCJOA

Don’t assume your organic veg is peat-free too 😱 Organic doesn't always mean environmentally friendly. While organic growers avoid synthetic chemicals, peat can still be used because it's a natural material, despite the harm caused by its extraction.

Close-up background of fresh vegetables including carrots, celery, mushrooms, lettuce, cauliflower and a tomato, with traces of soil visible. Overlaid text reads: “Did you know organic doesn’t mean peat-free?” and “We need clearer food labelling so we know how our food is grown.” The graphic highlights that organic food may not always be grown without peat and calls for greater transparency in food production.

This #InternationalBogDay we’re showing the love for our peatland bogs! They support some of the UK's most unique plants, lock away vast amounts of carbon, help reduce flood risk by absorbing rainfall and even act as a natural filter for our water. Want to learn more? 👉https://loom.ly/HrANLSg

From Blanket Bogs to Fens, the UK is home to a surprising variety of peatland habitats. While they may look different, all peatlands play a vital role in storing carbon, supporting wildlife and helping us respond to a changing climate. Discover more about the different peatlands below 👇

Beneath our feet, peatlands are doing extraordinary things. 🌍 Bogs, fens & marshes lock away carbon and support unique wildlife like these species here. But peat extraction destroys this balance, and the wildlife too.

These MPs have something in common... These maps show the coverage of #peat soils in and around the constituencies of several English MPs. Although Emma Reynolds and Mary Creagh's constituencies aren't home to peat, #DEFRA has responsibility for legislation to #EndPeatSales #Gardening #Allotment

A map with Glastonbury and Somerton constituency outlined alongside a photo of MP Sarah Dyke. Peaty soil is indicated to the North West of the constituency near Wells. Text reads "Sarah Dyke: Introduced a Private Member’s Bill to end the sale of horticultural peat in November 2024."

A map with Coventry East constituency outlined alongside a photo of MP Mary Creagh. There is no peat. Text reads "Mary Creagh: As Under-Secretary of State for Nature, overseeing peat policy is her responsibility."

A map with Ribble Valley constituency outlined alongside a photo of MP Maya Ellis. Peaty soil is indicated in the North of the constituency and surrounding it to the North, East, and South. Text reads: "Maya Ellis: Labour MP and part of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for horticulture. Contacted by constituents in our e-action."

A map with Wycombe constituency outlined alongside a photo of MP Emma Reynolds. There is no peat. Text reads "Emma Reynolds: Secretary of State for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs - oversees environment policy at Westminster."

A commitment from government to end peat sales
A clear date for the peat-free transition in Northern Ireland
Support from Welsh and Scottish ministers writing to Westminster
Nearly 10,000 people signing our petition and many emailing their MP.
