Walkable neighborhoods are the antidote to loneliness! 🚶‍♀️ When you can easily walk to shops, parks, cafes & see friendly faces, it combats isolation. Proximity to community is key. Ditch the car & get to know your neighbors on foot. Walkable cities = happier, connected people! 🌆

When you see the sheer scale of the murder of civilians in #Gaza , the mass destruction of homes, infrastructure, public services, centres of learning, religious and cultural buildings and symbols, I'm sorry, but it's now impossible to see this as anything other than #genocide .

“Despite losing the Mayoral election by a significant margin, we’ve published an article behind a paywall which most people can’t read about how we will stop Londoners from developing a safer and more sustainable transport system in London.” 🤔

That’s not fog or grey skies. It’s thick, toxic smoke from wildfires. The hazard level this morning in High Prairie, AB is 11. RED ALERT. It’s May 12. The new norm :(

These kind of men who are at the forefront of tech and innovation seem to have no idea that 2023 was the hottest year on record and the earth’s life support systems are in danger of collapse. They could be part of the solution…

Dr. Jill Biden, the UN estimates that two mothers are killed every hour in Gaza. On this Mother’s Day, we call on you as mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers and as humans to use your voice and your power

We're fawning all over ourselves about glimpsing the Aurora (rightfully so) in Ireland.

My mate lives in Norway and sees it all the time.

This is how it looked there last night

Tories poised to 'break another environmental promise' as hopes of peat ban fade inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

Thank you people of Crookes, Sheffield for sharing our love of swifts. Without exception every person I spoke to wanted to do something to preserve their amazing swift colonies.
Swifts screamed above all day long. Magical

We hear a lot about people cycling on the pavement but nothing about people driving on the pavement. It's as if people don't believe it happens.

40 people a year are killed by vehicles driving on the pavement. roadpeace.org/pedestrian-pav…

Met Roadsafe not bothered about this one.

Waiting for the media storm & calls for law changes after the death of another vulnerable road user, this time by a killer driver.
Oh, wait, this happens 400 times/year so nothing can or must be done. As you were...

BladeoftheSun More accurately you can go to prison for peacefully protesting about littering /pollution … just try sitting outside, say, an Exxon or Shell building with a banner in England - that is breaking a private injunction and can land you in jail WITHOUT trial

'Crime' is something to control the little people.

Not for the big people.

What an EPIC journey for a swift. The flying dinosaur, who weighs no more than a creme egg. Ask your mates and neighbours to consider them before undertaking roof repairs.
Sheffielders get in touch. We have a list of swift friendly roofers.

Decision follows pressure from students, staff & human rights groups.

This year our swift population will reduce by an estimated TEN THOUSAND breeding birds &/ the population will lose its ability to replenish itself by up to 15,000 chicks. The govt is ignoring #swifts plight despite a simple, urgent & essential solution backed by all experts.

You know this planet with auroras and eclipses? It has orchids, grass snakes & mangoes too. Rainbow trout and diatoms and self-organizing college students and star fish. What are the odds of it all & how about a just and equitable economy and then living lives of awestruck peace?

Anna Moore - she/her Karin Tearle Louise Krupski Lewisham Council Yes noticed that everywhere too. Why though, it’s not like it makes anything look better. It doesn’t get tidied up after they spread the toxins, instead there’s just a mass of dead mess everywhere.
