Well said, @Chris_Boardman and @BritishCycling. Channel 5’s “scourge of our streets” film is just unhelpful. Enough tribalism & clickbait demonisation. Cyclists also walk. Pedestrians also drive. Some drivers even (gasp) cycle. Let’s just make our streets work for all, agreed?
Cyclists aren’t the ‘scourge of the streets’. They are mothers, fathers, grandparents and children all doing their bit to make Britain a healthier, greener and more liveable place. Share this video from @Chris_Boardman to help us make our message loud and clear to @channel5_tv

Dear @claireperrymp We've got less than 12 years to act in order to stop a climate catastrophe. You've got the power to ban fracking and shift the government's focus to renewable technology that will help us cut carbon emissions. Please do something!

Remember to take your water bottle with you to work today! 15 million plastic bottles are littered, landfilled or incinerated every day just in the UK and you can help to change this.

America's push for oil and gas supremacy could lead to a climate catastrophe. To avert climate disaster, we need a #GreenNewDeal that phases out fossil fuels and offers a just transition to renewable energy. cnn.com/2019/01/18/business/…

Go and say hi to our greenpeace friends outside sainsbos today
Morning #Walthamstow we're outside @sainsburys in the High Street asking customers to hand back any unnecessary plastic packaging from their shopping so we can collect it and show what a waste it all is. Join the #ShoppersRevolt! #E17

Are there any budding business ideas out there for a zero waste shop in Leytonstone? #zerowaste #plasticfree #plasticfreeleytonstone pebblemag.com/magazine/doing…

Daughter got @dkbooks Children's Illustrated Encyclopedia for Xmas. Wind turbines "are large and noisy and take up huge areas of land", but the page on oil mentions neither pollution or climate breakdown. Has someone paid @dkbooks to get this stuff out to kids?
