Absolutely FABULOUS news for all life on Earth, especially the Amazon rainforest!!!! Despite the fascists playing every dirty, cheating trick in the book to steal this election, the people of Brazil saw through the lies. So, so, happy and relieved this morning 🇧🇷 👏 share.google/UdpzcSkD5us7...

What will you do to help? Eat(a lot less) meat; eat more veg; grow more of your own food; future-proof your gardens through better water irrigation & rainwater collection; plant more shrubs & trees to create shade, to cool temperatures & lock more humidity in; buy local food with minimum air miles.

The devastating consequences of climate breakdown are already here and the UN this week has warned that global warming will breach 1.5°C. Labour's response: pushing ahead with more fossil fuels by approving Jackdaw.

Did u know? Proceed with caution when working in your composting areas in winter. Be careful with plunging spades, to avoid harming small sleepy souls like weary hedgehogs, or tired toads. If you disturb any candidates, place them somewhere dark,safe & quiet to rest in peace for the winter. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🐸🦔

Please say no to plastic grass. This ugly stuff removes food & shelter for wildlife including bees, butterflies and birds; has a high carbon footprint; sheds micro-plastics which wash into our rivers and seas. Create a wildlife-friendly space instead. More littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/gra... 🐝

If you can buy shares, do. Any support is welcome. Please spread the word - Wakelyns is too important to lose. It shines a light to the potential future of farming. #savewakelyns

Did u know?Watering our veg is a major problem in the drought,taking hours every day,lugging water down that end of the garden.The solution - a water butt by the veg,collecting rain off our summer house roof.We repurposed an old dustbin by attaching guttering & it worked! Relish yr rubbish. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱💦🌍♻️

“If we are to be truly prepared for all of the threats that we face, we need to have a clear sight of what those threats are.” Ellie Chowns makes the case for a broader approach to national security on #BBCQT.

Among Keir Starmer's worst deeds were his legislative and rhetorical attacks on nature protection. In those two wasted years, we spiralled backwards, even from the Tory legacy. At this week's biodiversity summit, the Burnham govt should pledge to turn that round. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Would you back a 2% tax on the super rich to pay for 130,000 extra care workers and more?

FAB photographs of a Common Carder bumblebee nest after the colony has come to the end of its life. Common Carder bumblebees more usually nest at ground level, so it's really interesting to see the remains of a nest from a bird box.. Thank you for sharing @volcdoc.bsky.social ! #bumblebees

Did u know?Insect predators are important in healthy ecosystems,esp' as population controllers.Green lacewings prey on soft bodied insects like aphids.W'out aphid predators in the mix,keeping aphid populations down,it's estimated the world would be covered in a layer of aphids,92 miles deep. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲

The Ghost of Summer '26 Collected in my garden during the summer for a project with photosensitive paper, one last breath of life for the remains before they go on the compost to be reborn in future years. #Photography #flowers #flatlay

The public wants public OWNERSHIP, not public CONTROL. We Own It's new report explains how Andy Burnham can deliver public ownership. I have just sent the report to my MP. Can you take 2 mins now to send it to your MP too? @weownit.org.uk weownit.org.uk/act-now/burn...

Did u know?Oct is when we take off the meadow growth from our lawns.To ensure we don't injure any small souls who've moved in during the summer,we use manual means. My husband uses a scythe & I use a sickle.Scything makes you slow down & connect. 2 things that modern life could do with more of.🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social on this week's episode of Saving the World from Bad Ideas podcast discusses the importance of protecting bluefin tuna, a species once nearly hunted to extinction, from further exploitation by the fishing industry. Watch the full episode here --> shorturl.at/spIGf #Tuna

One final sprint to save a landscape - £28m secured, £2m to go! Donation matching until the end of the month - the Wildlife Trusts are so close to buying the largest chunk of the UK offered for sale in 30 yrs. Landscape-scale protection, to hold a 40-mile wide nature corridor together for wildlife.

The most substantial, huge, enormous, immense, vast, massive, colossal, gigantic, giant, mammoth, whopping, ginormous, humungous, scary, alarming, daunting, formidable, intimidating, terrifying, fearsome and petrifying of all the dinosaurs was the thesaurus.

The upcoming budget must put ordinary people’s interests before those of fossil fuel shareholders. Make polluters pay.

.....The truth will out....

I love the white eyelids on Dippers. Wait for the blink....
