The Government requested advice from @thecccuk.bsky.social on #Heathrow expansion & their response was clear. It's hard to see how the government could ignore it without abandoning any pretence of caring about #ClimateChange www.theccc.org.uk/2026/09/16/g...

Reading this list of small local groups taking action on #climate & #biodiversity made us realise how lucky we are to live in a Borough where so many people are making a difference & where the Council helps to fund projects. #SmallActionsAddUp: www.richmond.gov.uk/news/press_o...

Is anyone who lives in this area (see map but basically Richmond, Kew, North Sheen & part of Mortlake) interested in having a wildlife camera in your garden for 3 weeks to see if there are #hedgehogs as part of a ZSL project? If so please email Jennie on 6c65q441h@mozmail.com for more details.

We were outside Richmond station last night with our friends from @hacan1.bsky.social talking to people about the #Heathrow expansion consultation. It's worrying how many people don't seem to be aware of it. You can respond quickly here: actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

We're delighted to see the return of play streets in the Borough on 19th or 20th September. Deadline to apply is 4th September so it's time to start talking to your neighbours if you'd like one in your street. Thanks @richmondcouncil.bsky.social #CarFreeDay richmond.gov.uk/news/news_au...

Heatwaves estimated to have cost the UK economy at least £4.4bn in 3 months to July 2026. It's no longer a case of 'we can't afford net zero'. Inaction will cost far more in the medium term. And we've yet to see the inflation hit from food scarcity. www.verdantthinking.org/publications...

The consultation on #Heathrow expansion runs until 1st Sept. It's most powerful if you draft a response in your own words, based on @no3rdrunway.bsky.social's helpful notes tinyurl.com/433aan5x but if you need something quick try our 2 minute response tool: actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

Our friends at @friends-earth.bsky.social have this easy way to tell John Healey that you don't want #airport expansion anywhere. In the current climate allowing increased #emissions from aviation would be literally adding fuel to the fire(s): action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/sto....

We're angry that once again the #BBC Today programme allowed #Heathrow's Chief Exec to claim, unchallenged, that expansion would benefit economic growth when even the Government's own numbers show a big negative impact.

We can't believe that, given growing awareness of the impact of #plastic pollution, some companies still think it's acceptable to put plastic coated unsolicited junk mail through our letter boxes. Shame on you #Bonhams. Even if we do find a Ming vase in our attic we won't sell it through you!!!

#Heathrow expansion would pose a major risk to the UK’s #Climate targets. A third runway could result in #aviation alone accounting for up to 25% of UK emissions by 2050. There is still no credible plan to make aviation compatible with #NetZero. #Don'tGrowHeathrow #ClimateEmergency #No3rdRunway

Netting for goal posts or garden projects is a danger to #wildlife. In 2024, the RSPCA had 1355 reports of wildlife caught in netting. • Tie up sports netting when not in use • Pack away garden netting safely • Ask others to do the same If you find a trapped animal: directory.helpwildlife.co.uk

#Heathrow is already one of the UK’s worst #AirPollution hotspots. Government analysis warns a 3rd runway would have a “significant negative” impact on air quality. No credible evidence for how expansion can stay within legal limits. #HeathrowExpansion #AirPollution #No3rdRunway #Don'tGrowHeathrow

Twice in the last week #SeanFarrington of the #BBC's Today Programme has given airline/airport bosses a platform to argue for lower taxes or promote their businesses. Where is the challenge to the 'flying is good for the UK' narrative? No mention of the cost of a tourism deficit or #ClimateChange!

It's hard to see how a #ThirdRunway is in the UK's national interest, when: #Heathrow is 100% owned by overseas investors; Overseas transfer passengers are expected to take 75% of new capacity; UK taxpayers are likely to pick up the bill for transport upgrades and the health impacts. #NoThirdRunway

It's shocking that "Richmond households throw away over 10,000 tonnes of edible food – that’s nearly £40m wasted and over 36,000 tonnes of avoidable #GreenhouseGas emissions". Surely we can do better than that, and save money as well as help the climate content.govdelivery.com/accounts/UKL...
