@thameswater @EnvAgency very troubled to see this notice while walking in the Chess Valley today. Pollution of pristine chalk streams is unforgivable! I trust this is being dealt with.@Feargal_Sharkey

To be clear: government’s own evidence says that burning vegetation on peatlands a) prevents its legal obligations to restore these degraded habitats b) affects water quality/storage and c) contributes to climate change. Time to act - #Bantheburn theguardian.com/environment/…

This COVID crisis has shown us that we need to rethink our relationship with nature. Isn't that enough to stop DESTROYING the Tagus Estuary with yet another airport? Can we not learn & instead put nature at the heart of our decision making following what science tell us?

So COVID has turned airlines upside down & #EUGreenDeal means we must change - why build a NEW unnecessary airport right in the middle of priceless wetlands filled with migratory birds? CO2?? Collisions?? Read @spea_birdlife in @ScienceMagazine bit.ly/3ccYdm2 🐦🦎🐟🛫🪂

Nature is our best defense against climate breakdown, hunger and new pandemics. Yet, only 15% of the world’s forests remain intact. If we protect nature, nature will protect us. #GBO5 #Biodiversity2020 act.gp/32EDhky

Were this land to be rewilded, it would eventually become temperate rainforest. Instead of celebrating such denuded landscapes, the @nationaltrust should be restoring them.
