Great to see my local B&Q getting ahead of the peat-ban curve with ALL of the compost on the shelves now being #peatfree
Retailers need to show leadership & help customers make the switch so that peat can stay in #bogsnotbags

Today, a bill that seeks to ban peat sales in England will be introduced to parliament.
After 40 years of campaigning, could a ban on peat-based composts finally be within reach Rishi Sunak?
It’s time peat stays in #BogsNotBags . 👉 wildlifetrusts.org/news/last-chan…
It takes a year for 1mm of peat to form - that’s 1000 years for 1m of peat soil. Would you destroy this landscape for garden compost when you can go #PeatFree ? 🌱

Bogs not bags! 📢
Today, the UK Government has announced that there will be a TOTAL BAN on the sale of bagged peat compost.
We’ve been fighting for this since 1990, and it is a vital first step in the protection of our peatlands!

Peatlands are home to some of the UKs most fascinating wildlife. Banning the sale of peat will help to protect these amazing places and the creatures that call peatlands home. #BogsNotBags Round leaved sundew ©Guy Edwardes/2020VISION

Yesterday our team was constructing 'bunds' on Dartmoor (in 70mph winds) to hold & slowly disperse water flow. Hydrological management leads to ideal conditions for peat-forming sphagnum moss #floodmanagement #bogsnotbags #climatechange South West Water #peatlandrestoration
However, one year later, we have seen no progress. The UK Government has committed to introduce legislation to ban peat sales in England by the end of this Parliament – this must happen.
Thérèse Coffey, will you take action to protect our peatlands? #BogsNotBags (2/2)

Peatlands are the world’s largest carbon store on land. These natural boggy areas provide valuable ecosystems for both #plants and #animals . When we take peat for our gardens, #carbonemissions are released and habitats are damaged

We can live in hope🤞but after many decades of involvement all I know for certain is that the horticulture industry has deep pockets for their advocacy #BogsNotBags Go #PeatFree now & help challenge #ClimateEmergency

It's been nearly a year since the UK Government announced it would ban the sale of peat in England.
Thérèse Coffey, will you ensure that the Government follows through on its commitment to ban peat sales before the end of this Parliament?
