A big sigh of relief - after much uncertainty, the Natural History GCSE has finally been given the green light by the Government.
It is arguably *the* most impactful opportunity we have to teach my generation how to protect, restore and reconnect our ecosystems for the future.

I think we need to limit the European factory fishing industry rather than limiting the birds.
Jun 4
The European factory fishing industry and its political sponsors now accusing *birds* of causing the collapse of fish stocks says it all really.
This is what the conservation movement is up against.

“The fundamental problem we have in this country is that we’re building on 40 years of deindustrialisation topped off by 15 years of austerity - which the Labour government hasn’t done enough to address.” Sarah Wakefield, Green Candidate for Makerfield on BBC Question Time last night

Once again TheGreen Party needs to get a grip. The Makerfield by-election is a high profile election. Of course we need to stand a candidate and of course we need to take it seriously. We should not repeat the self-defeating strategy of the 2017 leadership team.

Personally I’d welcome a broad, inclusive coalition as being proposed here. I’m going to refrain from criticising other parties for exploring various options during what are difficult negotiations.

I just watched the Nicola Sturgeon interview. Frankly I believe her and think that the commentators should now back off a bit. Uncomfortable viewing.

Did you know about the story of the Leicester Balloon Riot? In 1864 50,000 people turned up in Leicester to watch the launch of a new type of hot air balloon in Victoria Park by famous aeronaut Henry Tracey Coxwell.

I’ve raised concerns about this. I believe that putting it into private hands would remove another layer of protection and risk development maybe not now but 10, 20 years down the line given changing planning rules.

British pollinators. What a workforce ! Without this amazing team there would be no gardens or food for that matter. We must do our best to look after them, teach our kids they are friends and build habitats to show them how loved they really are.

@wesstreeting on Political Thinking. I’ll tell you what in the hell Labour is doing: ripping up protections for nature and the foundation for economic stability and national security for future generations. Read the report!
