Climate Action Preston

@transportgovuk How about cheaper rail?

From tomorrow, tax will be slashed on flights within the UK, a move that will help boost UK-wide connectivity. #AirPassengerDuty #Aviation

While France is banning short-haul flights, the UK government is now promoting them, under the slogan 'Grow the Economy' More like 'Kill the Living World'. Policies like this, in times like these, will be recorded in the history books as ecocide.

Are you still resisting the urge to tidy up your garden? Well done you! Letting the garden sleep in for winter allows insects to complete their life-cycles, ready to emerge when the weather warms up. #springcleaninspring

By being less tidy in your garden, and leaving dead and hollow stems of plants unpruned over the winter, you'll be providing shelter for hibernating insects, including ladybirds, during the colder months 🐞

@Vic_Gill Here's one I snapped (!) earlier - in a hedge next to our ancient woodland Red Scar & Tunbrook SSSI nature reserve in Preston, Lancashire. An industrial development is planned nearby & we're seeking a woodland (& wetland) buffer. @Lancswildlife lancswt.org.uk/nature-reserve…

Trees: Even more amazing than we realised. (Especially old trees) 💚 bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

@CauserSemi They are automatic low energy security lights. The energy rating for the building is good.

@prestonaction Any reason why your premises is lit up like Blackpool Illuminations when it's shut?

@CauserSemi I'll ask the staff at the centre. We have many evening events so maybe the volunteers had nipped out for a break. Thanks for getting in touch.
