The five climate activists have been sentenced to 4-5 years in prison, simply for wanting to protest PEACEFULLY against the ever-worsening climate crisis. It’s absurd to jail peaceful protesters while giving a free pass to the Big Polluters robbing us of a habitable planet.

This week, decision-makers gather for the government’s Farm to Fork summit. Will #FarmingVoices be heard? This film puts farmers at the heart of the debate. What challenges do they face, and how does a resilient approach to farming support real food security?

"Dear friends, scientifically, this is not a #ClimateCrisis. We are now facing something deeper. Mass extinction. Air pollution. Undermining ecosystem functions. Really putting humanity’s future at risk. This is a #PlanetaryCrisis." — Professor @jrockstrom #ActOnClimate

"4500 hours of untreated sewage dumped into River Mole area so far this year." That's the equivalent of 187 nonstop days worth of sewage dumping and it's still only 6th March. Bloody hell!!! getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-ne…

Seriously disappointing but we have to keep going! Looking forward to the next meeting to tell everyone what we’ve been doing and hearing what everyone else has been doing.

In the small print of the latest Defra Environmental Land Management additions, new generous payments for farmers to establish ribbon wetlands along watercourses on their land. This is huge, because riparian buffers make the best nature corridors, as well as helping dramatically to reduce both flooding and drought - and even more so when they have beavers managing them instead of people. gov.uk/government/pub…
