Beef is an old nickname, and I’ve cut it out for climate reasons. Would like people to call me TAFKAB.

The climate crisis threatens us all. We have power. Why not ask your bank/ pension/energy provider where they are investing your money? Probably things that make the climate crisis worse! If so then move your money and tell them why. switchit.green/about-switchi… You can do something!

This may be the only New Year’s resolution I keep this year!

Don’t forget to recycle your mince pie casings! 🥧 These little aluminium cases can be melted down and reused so their precious resource doesn't go to waste. Millions are binned every Christmas — let’s change that and have a #WasteLessChristmas. @DefraGovUK

I have been verbally abused twice on the way to football matches so far this season. On both occasions I was minding my own business, head down, walking to the ground. I was called 'a fucking queer cunt' by one man and another told me that 'our club doesn't want disgusting gay fans'. If you're a player and that offends you less than wearing a rainbow-coloured armband for a couple of matches, then maybe you're part of the problem.

Definitely the all time tackiest reason to destroy exquisite habitat for red listed species including turtle doves, water voles & lizard orchids. Not for housing, nor food - a fake surf lagoon not far from the actual sea.

Call to action if you live in Wales! Please consider signing this petition to get Swift Bricks in legislation as a requirement for all new buildings in Wales. It would be amazing to get this to 10,000 signatures as then it will be debated in the Senedd

Swifts need your help in so many ways. This is the easiest right now: sign and share especially if you’re in #Wales (but anyone can sign) It only needs just less than 700 signatures but hurry as deadline approaching petitions.senedd.wales/petit… 🪶📷: Robert Booth

The North York Moors today - fire after fire as they set grouse moors alight, as if the climate crisis simply doesn’t exist.

RSPB secretly films gamekeepers plotting, then killing, a hen harrier on a grouse moor in northern England.

Fake grass. Synthetic turf. Artificial turf.
No matter what you call it, it’s outdoor PLASTIC carpet…
degrading into microplastics that get washed into our creeks, rivers, oceans!
How MUCH plastic is needed to produce ONE artificial turf field?

Very sad news - Tony Soper, a huge influence on generations of birders and broadcasters, who I had the huge privilege of working with and getting to know, has died aged 95. The last person who was there at the start of the BBC Natural History Unit. A lovely man.

Excellent insights David! Did you know that car clubs like us help to get cars off the road? Each car club vehicle in the UK takes on average, 32 private cars off our roads. Our members are way more likely to make sustainable travel decisions, opting for buses, walking and cycling and only using cars for those necessary trips 👏

Prawn trawlers🦐 in Queensland’s east coast fishery haul in nearly 25,000 tonnes of sea life each year but throwback nearly 20,000 tonnes (estimated).
80% BYCATCH ‼️ including fish, sharks, rays, sea snakes and sawfish.
How is this legal?

The chronic overgrazing of Dartmoor, one of our most precious landscapes, by a tiny number of heavily subsidised, hereditary rights holders, is a national disgrace. I’m delighted that @WildJustice_org is bringing a legal challenge on this totemic issue. wildjustice.org.uk/general/w…

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.”
It wasn’t even this way in late 2019 when I was last there.
Just a few years ago, #Paris was choking in car traffic much more.
This is new. This is leadership.
Cities are a result of choices.

True professionalism from assistant manager Steve Holland as Watkins goal went in. Immediately tells Southgate to sort out the substitutes to tighten things up for the final two minutes. No time for celebrations.

I’ve been sent photos of council weed spraying in Moseley. I will email these to @CllrMajid It is of immense frustration that almost two years since @BeeFriendlyBrum submitted their 97,000 signature petition to @BhamCityCouncil against use of pesticides nothing has changed.
