@theapplefarmer.bsky.socialReposted by @fintankelly.bsky.socialThis is ridiculous as a national strategy.
Acre for acre solar PV delivers about 20 times more energy than biomethane.
Why in the name of ,,, would a government promote this stuff.

@birdlifeeurope.bsky.socialReposted by @fintankelly.bsky.socialWE WON. Lead in gunshot will finally be banned across the EU! Just now, the European Parliament approved in plenary the Commission's proposal to restrict lead in gunshot. This decision ends years of debate on one of Europe's most persistent forms of lead pollution.

@whittledaway.bsky.socialReposted by @fintankelly.bsky.socialYesterday was a bad day for nature as virtually no new funding was announced.
The guessing and uncertainty as how Ireland's Nature Restoration Plan is to be funded goes on.
@fintankelly.bsky.socialIf we could get endangered wildlife to run around a race track they'd have a better chance at getting support from this government.
@paneurope.bsky.socialReposted by @fintankelly.bsky.social📢 10k farmers and citizens demanded stronger #pesticide rules and an end to the export of banned pesticides + accountability for water & soil pollution at the #Syngenta factory in Normandy 🇫🇷. A 2nd protest took place in🇨🇭.
@eeb.orgReposted by @fintankelly.bsky.social🚨Today, EU ambassadors approved the Council’s position on speeding up environmental assessments. Fast-tracking permits for “strategic” projects risks rushed assessments and public consultation. Now it's time for MEPs to stand up for environmental rules that protect people, communities and nature.
@abilutangwa.bsky.socialReposted by @fintankelly.bsky.socialWe have enough food, technology, and money to save the planet. We just have a system where destroying it is more profitable. That's not a climate problem. That's a greed problem. #ClimateJustice

The planet is entering uncharted territory.
@fintankelly.bsky.socialThe Government are proposing that a developer building up to 250 houses won't have to assess at even a basic level the impacts of that development on the environment.
This would be unlawful & disastrous for the environment.

@fintankelly.bsky.socialI had a great time at Climate Carnival yesterday talking about Land and Food with an amazing cast of speakers ably corralled by Rob Yorke.
@fintankelly.bsky.socialThe ecocide of Amazonia is one with the genocide of its peoples. Yanuni documents the Indigenous peoples of Brazil’s ongoing struggle for survival through the life and work of Indigenous leader Juma.

@fintankelly.bsky.socialBreaking news: invasion of wild boar! They destroy gardens and scatter rubbish. This is a good example from Portugal of how media coverage can sensationalise human–wildlife conflict. A few wild boar are simply foraging through a town, where food waste is readily available
