With bills constantly on the rise it's time to demand better. Greens have already secured a £2 bus fare cap for the Highlands and Islands, and in Strathclyde. We need the £2 bus fare cap to be rolled out across the rest of Scotland now!

This year we secured a £2 bus fare cap in the Highlands and Islands. That's now been extended to Strathclyde region. But the Government says it could take up to 5 years to get to the rest of Scotland. England will reduce their cap to £2 in January. Scotland shouldn't have to wait.

When operated at full capacity this data centre would use the energy equivalent to over two million homes. Its emissions would exceed the legal limit in Dumfries and Galloway by almost double. This application must be rejected.
STV News. Plans submitted for 'world's largest' data centre at former nuclear power station. The Scottish Greens have warned that the proposal would put a massive straight on Scotland's energy grid.

Scotland shouldn't be providing resources to support and facilitate marches that cause fear and division in communities. The Scottish Government and Police Scotland must ensure officers are never deployed to events like this again.

The climate crisis is threatening communities across Scotland. Wildfires, foods, droughts, and coastal erosion are putting thousands of households at risk. Greens are calling for a Climate Shock Fund to protect communities from increasing climate threats.

This march was designed to spread tensions and hatred, and to intimidate the community and families who live there. Scotland should not be providing policing resources for sectarian events like this that are called to inflame tensions.

Glasgow's drug consumption room has dealt with 195 medical emergencies since it opened last year. It saves lives. Drug addiction and misuse is a health crisis. We need a major expansion of harm reduction and treatment services, including safe consumption facilities.

At the peak of the fossil fuel divestment movement c2019 we were told it was no longer needed because of all the 'net zero' and 'just transition' pledges the oil & gas companies were making. We knew it was bullshit. We've been proven right. Expect amnesia rather than apologies from their defenders.
