Yorkshire Dales National Park "not natural country for hen harriers & red kites", according to National Park Authority Board member. Good grief. New blog ⬇️ raptorpersecutionuk.org/2022/12/17/yor #Yorkshire #YorkshireDales

Really pleased that Shipley Town Council backed my motion in support of 's investigation into night flights at Leeds Bradford Airport. More night flying means: 🔊 More noise for residents on flight path - including Shipley ⚠️ More emissions from more flights
Quote Tweet
We are looking forward to hearing the outcome of the council’s investigation into LBA’s compliance with night flight quotas. #noise #sleep yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/leeds

'Even on the coldest day so far, tenants of a pioneering social housing scheme built to Passivhaus standards don't need to turn on their heating. Arctic air has brought a dusting of snow to the Goldsmith Street in Norwich, but inside "it’s like summer".' theguardian.com/society/2022/d

A profoundly broken economic system

The WHO and World Bank have produced estimates on the number of people worldwide who "do not receive the essential health services they need". The result? 3.8 to 5 billion people, in 2015. That's 52-68% of the world population in that year, denied access to this basic good.

Was only thinking this in London yesterday. And I am mostly walking on the road
Quote Tweet
Councils have assiduously cleared roads for cars while pavements remain like skating rinks My choice is to walk in the road and risk getting run over or walk on pavement and risk a broken bone Another example of how those of us who limit carbon omissions are totally unsupported

SEVENTY SEVEN hen harriers confirmed 'missing' or illegally killed in UK since 2018, most of them on or close to grouse moors. Govt ministers still can't bring themselves to comment, let alone act. Shameful. raptorpersecutionuk.org/2022/12/15/77-

Politics in the UK has been far from Common Sense for a long time. So if you want to read how a Green vision of hope can improve politics. Then consider supporting this @unbounders crowdfunding to help @natalieben's 'Change Everything' gets published. 📗 unbound.com/books/change-e
