Can we stop saying 'drug addicts' and move to terms such as people who use/people who experience dependency? We can't discuss progressive policy and continue to use stigmatised and disempowering language.

Why oh why can’t we have this system in Ireland @greenparty_ie
Sweden (like other countries) has long had a can & bottle deposit system giving people money back when they recycle—for aluminium cans, and since 1994 for plastic bottles. Each year Swedes recycle 1.8 billion bottles using the so-called pant system buff.ly/31oDdp6

Great campaign from our @BalanceNE colleagues... So i can know what's in my chocolate, my processes foods.. But not in beer, huh? Go figure, you'd nearly think some powerful global corporations are wielding influence 😉
Alcohol is linked to 17,000 cases of cancer every year. Yet only 1 in 3 are aware of the risk. It’s time for Govt. to step up and implement mandatory health labelling. Our call is supported by healthcare professionals and the public alike. #RightToKnow #AlcoholCausesCancer

Having turned the tide on the sale of public land to private developers last year, I am disgusted to report that 35 Dublin City councillors just voted to over turn last years decision and #OscarTraynor is to be sold to private developers.

Even after everything that the survivors have been through St John Ambulance still refuse to apologise for what happened. This sadly continues to re-traumatise survivors who have already been through enough

I always go to this quote, "the kids who need the most love will ask for it in the most unloving ways."
Drip feed positive recognition into their emotional currency. Soon enough, they will "ask for love in the most loving ways."They will give you in return what you gave them.🧠🌱
