I’ve spent 3 years photographing people with #MECFS, a condition I’ve lived with since 1987.
50 people. Invisible & incurable illness.
The work shows at Oxo Tower in September.

If you want to reduce plastic use, avoid yellow kitchen sponges like these. They're made of plastic, can't be recycled, don't break down in landfill – and release microplastics into the sea. Eco-friendly, compostable alternatives are available – see: bit.ly/42rwUOX

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please RT if you agree 🌳

The UK aims to cut pesticide impacts by tracking persistence and mobility. But PFAS ‘forever pesticides’ remain in use, harming wildlife, polluting water, and persisting for centuries. ❌⚠️
Why restricting PFAS pesticides could help meet UK targets...👇

🌷 Friday was #WorldParkinsonsDay. Neurotoxic pesticides are directly related to Parkinson’s. But...pesticides are not tested for this. Not at all! And Parkinson’s is on the rise, affecting lives across Europe. Farmers are the first victims, their families and neighbours next.

#Chemicalflameretardants including those in upholstered furniture and mattresses, exasperate smoke toxicity.
It is important that smoke toxicity is brought within scope of the UK furniture fire safety regulations to help address this issue➡️ tinyurl.com/4y5auyns

“Organic salmon products sold in UK supermarkets have been exposed to banned toxic pesticides”
“Data from Mowi's farms show the fish were exposed to… azamethiphos, deltamethrin and emamectin benzoate in dozens of instances before becoming 'organic'”

🎊 We wish you a #pesticide-free Christmas season 🎄
In many countries, people decorate their houses with Christmas trees. Cosy for happy family & friends meetings. But how many pesticides are used? Did you consider a pesticide-free tree?
