R to @GraceOSllvn: Figures from the European Commission show that 40% of ALL plastic and 50% of ALL paper produced are used in packaging.

We are also increasing our consumption - reduction at the source is now key!

Speaking this morning at the Green Party convention about the role of the arts in climate action.
Recalling Greenpeace's creative campaigning in the story of the French nuclear aircraft "Foch" which was docking in Valencia.
We told them how we felt about that! 😁

I visited Midleton today to see the impact of the floods for myself and listen to locals about how they are coping. Some very upsetting scenes...
These extreme weather events are the hard reality of climate change. Short term support required here now but also longterm solutions

RT by @GraceOSllvn: "EU leaders so far have proven one-sided and have not reflected the EU’s values of peacebuilding and justice in their approach to the conflict."

In the absence of any real humanitarian leadership from the EU, this morning I called for the UN Secretary General
https://nitter.cz/antonioguterres
to address the European Parliament.
Only he has had the strength to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza now.

Reports coming through of hundreds and hundreds killed in an Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza.
I met the 🇵🇸 Palestinian Ambassador today. "Every time we think we have reached the bottom of humanity we discover that there are new lows" he said to me.
Ceasefire now!

“By continuing to invoke Israel’s ‘right to defend itself’ as these crimes are committed in Gaza, in my view President von der Leyen gives the tacit approval of the EU for the Israeli regime to continue its attacks"

Without action this could be the future for all other lakes in Ireland.
