My positive action means supporting charities that are taking direct action. Rewilding Britain, Somerset wildlands, Vegan Land movement, Protect Earth. There are plenty out there doing a great job, they can do more if people support them. Gov't is letting us down.

Did you know that a top driver of deforestation, soil degradation, climate change, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, and pollution of water, air, and soil with manure, pesticides & antibiotics is animal Ag? Not to mention the unconscionable animal torture in the meat, dairy & egg industries?

This poor robin was brought to South Essex Wildlife Hospital. The bird is just one of many victims of horrific glue traps, which are still legal to sell and buy in the UK.

Someone: "I'm going palm oil free for the orangutans" my brain: don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it Me: "Maybe you could go plant-based too for the dozens of species lost every single day?" 🦧
The image features a young gorilla surrounded by lush vegetation. Text overlaid on the image states, "60% of the world's biodiversity loss is caused by meat consumption." The source of the statistic is cited as the WWF Report "Appetite for Destruction," October 2017. The message highlights the significant impact of meat consumption on global biodiversity, emphasizing the role that the meat industry plays in habitat destruction, deforestation, and species extinction.

Greenland sharks becomes sexually mature at the old age of 150 and are believed to gestate thier young for over a decade — meaning populations can take an extremely long time to recover.
