Let's talk about *nursery occupancy rates* @hackneycouncil @carowoodley @mayorofhackney They are *critical* as they've been used without context to justify Fernbank closure. Using current occupancy rates is the single most misleading part of entire rationale for closure. A thread

Comment: Sir David Attenborough is right — we must act now on climate

We all have a Sir David Attenborough moment. The soothing phrase or astounding visual shot from his near-seven decade-long broadcasting career.

Agreed. Once they are gone, that's it. We are devastated at the potential loss of mature trees and an oasis of nature in such a built-up area.

Do you think of #London when you see this? Our urban meadow in #Ealing at golden hour. We need green spaces in urban places for #biodiversity gain, #carbon sequestration, to form #nature recovery networks, for #health & well-being. Local Nature Reserve status for #WarrenFarmNR 💚

There is no such thing as a perfect climate activist. Do not let trolls tell you otherwise. All of us are doing what we can, when we can. This is why for this movement to succeed, we need more climate activists. We need more people standing up for the planet. We need you.

“We need to remind ourselves that we can still turn this around. It’s entirely possible if we are prepared to change. Hope is all around us.” I wrote a text about what it will take for the #COP26 to be successful. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

There are no real climate leaders yet – who will step up at Cop26? | Greta Thunberg

Like other rich nations, the UK is more talk than action on the climate crisis. Something needs to change in Glasgow, says climate activist Greta Thunberg

When ministers slap down effective environmental laws, when they cross their fingers instead of taking the action needed to stop Covid from spreading, it’s because they believe in fairytales: the “invisible hand of the market” will somehow sort it all out. Thread/

I now believe that if I live into my 90s, I have a high chance of witnessing systemic environmental collapse. By systemic environmental collapse, I mean something specific: an Earth system passing its critical threshold, then triggering the tipping of other systems. I'm 58.

.@lb_southwark is building over a park in the poorest part of Peckham, in a greenspace- deprived area. Goodbye Peckham Green. The 49 @SouthwarkLabour councillors are responsible.
