#wildflowerhour Hoary mustard in a very dry field edge plus an apple tree with fresh blossom growing - confusing time for plants.

More than 40% of insect species face extinction. Others are endangered or declining badly. We can help in our gardens and community spaces by not being too tidy, planting nectar-rich flowers and trees, and not using weedkillers and pesticides. More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/Ins...

Shout-out to libraries. Where else can you just chill outside with a 4yo as you pretend to be magic fairies careening about a large grassy area, then pop indoors for air conditioning, coloring pages, and benches to read four books in a row that you then get to take home, no charge? Libraries rule.

Rewilding isn't a side project of the climate fight. It is the fight. This great man makes the case plainly: "the rewilding of the world will suck enormous amounts of carbon from the air and lock it away in expanding wilderness.” That's not a hope, it's an observed pattern across ecosystems.

After the searing heat, back to rainforest weather. But it breaks my heart that the future of this – and so many other amazing natural ecosystems – is very seriously threatened by climate collapse.

The screensaver that comes up automatically on my computer depicts what we are conditioned to consider a "beautiful, iconic" landscape. But notice how the sole tree is growing horizontally into space from an escarpment, the only way of escaping sheep or deer. This is an ecological wasteland.

In Ireland's sheep-shagged mountains, the only places you'll find tiny remnants of the mind-blowingly rich rainforest that once prevailed is on escarpments and other out-of-reach spots. To receive farm payments, farmers have no other choice. In essence, your taxes are directly pushing extinction.

Over 75% of the world’s food crops need pollinators. Yet, bee populations are declining due to: 🔸habitat loss 🔸climate change 🔸excessive use of pesticides Our fertiliser plan promotes healthier ecosystems vital for bees’ survival. We need to keep our bees busy and well. #WorldBeeDay
The image features two colourful illustrations of a market stand with various fruits and vegetables. The top one has warm, joyful colours, with many bees flying around and baskets filled with fruit. The bottom part, painted in blue, gives a cooler feeling and features fewer bees and produce, with the text 'less bees = high fees'. There is a European Union logo in the bottom right corner.

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.

Happy 100th birthday to David Attenborough, who once said: “To restore stability to our planet, we must restore its biodiversity, the very thing we have removed. It is the only way out of the crisis we ourselves have created. We must rewild the world.” We couldn't agree more! #AttenboroughAt100

Alright, let me do this again. I know it doesn't last for ever, but every day like this means less gas dug out of the seabed, less gas in tankers or storage facilities; less carbon in the atmosphere and less cash in the pockets of tyrants. And look at the price! £2.20/MWh! That's practically free.
