Data centres are springing up everywhere, using massive amounts of energy and water. I’ve signed @friends-earth.bsky.social’s petition calling for a pause on new data centres until the government gets a grip on the situation. Please join me action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/put...

Reeves ignores Climate Change Committee’s call to “empower people to make low carbon choices such as … reducing air travel”. Keep your promise to be “Britain’s first green chancellor”. Don't expand airports. Invest in cheap, CLEAN energy. @hfblabour.bsky.social catherinewestmp.bsky.social
