Depressing news that Govt may approve bee-killing pesticide despite election promise to ban it - & outrageous that British Sugar has applied to use neonics for 5th year, despite industry commitment to end reliance in 2023. Govt must act to protect bees 🐝

Loads of energy & music & dance outside Supreme Court this morning to challenge attempts to snatch away our right to wild camp on Dartmoor & celebrate our connection to the natural world - whatever the verdict, this campaign against further enclosure will only grow

RT by @CarolineLucas: Today, we're taking the true spirit of Dartmoor to London.

The fate of wild camping will be decided by the courts.

Whatever the outcome, Darwall has succeeded in unleashing something powerful and ancient:

A commitment to our commons, our love for the land, our right to belong.

RT by @CarolineLucas: I wish children didn’t die.
I wish they would be temporarily elevated to the skies
Until the war ends.

Then they would return home safe,
And when their parents ask them:
‘Where were you?’
They’d say:
‘We were playing with the clouds’

Much could be won or lost in Tuesday’s Court case on right to wild camp on Dartmoor. “At stake is the essence of a place rare in England: one that exchanges ownership & exclusion for liberty & awe. These are gifts to pass on, not rights to revoke” Yes👏 👇

Seems fitting that UK, the first country to introduce coal fired power, is also first G7 country to move beyond it. With thanks to the workers who powered our past, this is now a vital moment in a green transition which must be fair & support communities

As UK’s last coal fired power plant closes today, it’s a good time to reflect on long campaigns against new coal. 16 years ago I joined campaigners against Kingsnorth. Back then, we were mocked for calling for an end to coal - now it’s finally happened
