Leeds Climate Emergency

Take note and act...NOW, not in a few years. No excuses cut it anymore. Start by only mowing most grass patches once a year in September. Leave some ground rough, remove invasive species, & stop felling trees @LeedsCC_Help @LeedsCC_CEAQ @LeedsParks @LeedsCC_News @cllrjudithblake

@GaryLineker Richard Madeley shows himself up as a chauvinistic, ignorant mansplainer. Embarrassing, rude, and outrageous behaviour. He is the epitome of everything that's wrong with this country.

Seeing the interview in its entirety is sickening, but at the same time the bullying & patronising nature of it is getting plenty of coverage for what is the most crucial time for our future existence on this planet. Only one person came out of this well & that’s Miranda Whelehan

Meanwhile, Wales and @NatResWales are still living in the Stone Age when it comes to beaver… @LlywCymru @PrifWeinidog

They shoot their hounds , they whip their hounds , they punch their horses . They kill people’s pets , damage their property , break the law and rip our diminishing wildlife to pieces for fun . But they won’t be doing it legally on @nationaltrust land anymore . Good riddance .

@CllrWalshaw @networkrail Nothing ever changes. Mature trees constantly being felled. If it's not planning determinations for false prophet 'growth' nonsense, it's crap like this. Everything we are doing is a heinous contradiction. Decisions like this show the futility of our situation. There is no hope.

@Joe_Hooter @ChrisGPackham @LeedsCC_News @helenhayden01 The staff are robots following flawed arguments from old men who won't change, and from Councillors that pander to noisy members of their wards. Local Authorities to blame for much of our biodiversity loss, thru destructive land management & house/road building. I'm 65 & I weep!

@LeedsClimate @ChrisGPackham @LeedsCC_News @helenhayden01 WTF is wrong with these people 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sent to us from resident in Chapel A. Cancer chemicals sprayed by @LeedsCC_News close to School grounds. Caterpillars, insects, & habitat refuge decimated. When will u start delivering against your promises? Stop wasting taxpayer money on ecocide @helenhayden01 @ChrisGPackham

@andyjowett11 @HanbyAndrew @LeedsCC_News @helenhayden01 @ChrisGPackham 100% agree

@AGLovesnature @ChrisGPackham @LeedsCC_News @helenhayden01 Well said. Unless we all put this point across to Elected Members, in large numbers, nothing will change and the old destructive ways will carry on

@LeedsClimate @ChrisGPackham @LeedsCC_News @helenhayden01 I’m happy to email them about this and complain, let’s get others on board. Pressure is needed.

@AGLovesnature @ChrisGPackham @LeedsCC_News @helenhayden01 It feels like nothing. The Council always has excuses. Local Gov is one of the most complicit actors in driving wildlife decline in this country. No question

@LeedsClimate @ChrisGPackham @LeedsCC_News @helenhayden01 Oh my life! It makes me so so angry! What can we do?

@JessinRuislip @ChrisGPackham @LeedsCC_News @helenhayden01 There is already access for pedestrians and cyclists. But no access for wildlife anymore!

@LeedsClimate @ChrisGPackham @LeedsCC_News @helenhayden01 could that be made into a pedestrian or cycle back route into the school then? perhaps they could have a small set-aside area somewhere else?

@AGLovesnature @ChrisGPackham @LeedsCC_News @helenhayden01 And it was a beautiful wildflower area....doing no harm! Now it's a waste land that will be covered in litter within days.

@LeedsClimate @ChrisGPackham @LeedsCC_News @helenhayden01 What a ridiculous thing to do. That area could be the most beautiful little wildflower area

@BakedbeanEEP @LeedsCC_News @helenhayden01 @ChrisGPackham Please feel free

@LeedsClimate @LeedsCC_News @helenhayden01 @ChrisGPackham Can i dm you regarding this practice please, we have had problems with this too and we have previously complained

@ChrisGPackham @NWPolice This was 100% the fishing sector. Why else? No other logical explanation. Absolute spineless idiots.

Last night an active osprey nest was felled with a chainsaw at Llyn Brenig in Wales . If you have any information that may lead to identification of the person/people responsible for this horrific act of destruction , please come forward and contact @NWPolice on 101 or online .

@ChrisGPackham @HuntSabs Absolutely despicable. These disgusting sub-human scumbags. I'm sickened. I hope the bloody police take this seriously. This is attempted murder in my book. Unbelievably brave guy.

Last night a brave member of @HuntSabs was nearly killed by badger baiters . . . read here , but be warned there are graphic images of his injuries . Please give as generously as you can to help with his recovery here gofundme.com/f/sab-attacked… huntsabs.org.uk/hunt-saboteur-…

Please @LeedsParks @Leeds_Highways stop spraying #pesticides on our estate's sparse green spaces, in our parks, and next to streets, verges and roads. We need all the #biodiversity we can get & #pollinators depend on it! #SayNoToTheMow @LeedsClimate @LGSpace @Love_plants

@RaptorPersScot @ChrisGPackham @MarkAvery @RuthTingay @ReviveCoalition @Team4Nature @natalieben @IoloWilliams2 @AlisonJohnstone @markruskell The custodians of the countryside? Death threats? Absolutely despicable and shows the calibre and mentality of people involved in wildlife crime in rural communities. There will be associates of those responsible that know about this. To those people, have some damn integrity.

SCOTTISH GAMEKEEPERS latest malicious attack on @ChrisGPackham Desperate stuff from an organisation on the ropes …ptorpersecutionscotland.wordpress.com/2021/03/13/the… #RWP21

How is this acceptable? @LeedsCC_Help @ChapelA_Labour @CaraChapelA litter & building waste everywhere on Potternewton Ln. Must have been complaints? Perpetrators seem to b #billdysonskips & #whitkirkbuildingservices. Scandalous non-compliance w/ environmental laws. Enforcement???

@armleytrees @armley_lou @Alice_Smart @RachelReevesMP @lisamulherin @friendsofarmley @XRLeeds @OurFutureLeeds @WoodlandTrust @johnvarley Disgraceful

Last w'end Network Rail contractors overstepped the mark & moved out of the 'redzone' & cut down tree no 1276 that was to be saved, details of which were shared at the info session on 20 Jan. Saplings to be left in situ appear to have gone too. They need to be held to account.

@IPM566 @PaulChatterton9 @LeedsCC_News Most of those councillors came across as dumb & unenlightened. That's what happens when no-one cares about local politics & u get these unqualified, inarticulate morons elected by default..because they were the only people who turned up. Labour don't give a toss about environment
