Tomorrow! We’d love you to join us to help us replant this bed in Newtown as part of 10xGreener 🐝 We’re also so excited to have the new Community Development Coordinator from Cheshire West Recycling coming to lead a litter pick! Join us and ChristChurchChester 1-3pm
👀 Check out this transformation! We were out yesterday with ChristChurchChester , Newtown residents, and Charlotte from CWR, litter picking and transforming the old edible garden! Thanks to everyone’s hard work we were able to do all of this in just a couple of hours 🐝 #10xGreener
It isn't just #Cheshire politicians Mike Amesbury MP, Cheshire West Labour, CWaCTory Councillors and Matt Bryan Upton begging the government for public money to fund the stinking rich fossil fuel industry's #BlueHydrogen and #CCS fantasies. It's politicians all over the UK. aberdeenlive.news/news/aberdeen-…
Another culprit in the #GreatHydrogenSwindle. The #HydrogenEconomy is a corporate confidence trick. Shysters like HyNet, North West Hydrogen Alliance and Peel L&P are hyping hydrogen and riding the government subsidy gravy train when the economy could and should be electrified. Cut the crap.
The fossil fuel industry is #Greenwashing #CCS so it can carry on with business as usual. Greenpeace International co-founder Rex Weyler says CCS is a scam which pretends to solve a problem while making it worse and socialises the costs while privatising the profits. greenpeace.org/international/…
#VampireKangaroo bank Macquarie Group, which owns a stake in Cadent, is set to buy National Gas and take full control of Britain's core gas transmission network. The bank is betting on #Hydrogen playing a big role in the country's future energy system.ft.com/content/9b615f…
Campaigner Climate Emergency Planning&Policy has lost his High Court case against the Net Zero Teesside gas power plant with #CCS despite the government admitting emissions will have significant adverse effects. Ed Miliband should review the flawed policy he's inherited. bbc.com/news/articles/…
Big up Carolyn for sticking her neck out and flagging up HyNet and #CCS as a scam. We need more politicians following the science and calling out fossil fuel industry #Greenwash. Mike Amesbury MP, Justin Madders, Cheshire West Labour, CWaCTory Councillors and Matt Bryan Upton should do the same.
In 2020, a CO2 pipeline ruptured in the USA leaving people dazed and gasping for air. Mike Amesbury MP, Cheshire West Labour and Matt Bryan Upton are allowing #CCS without opposition or scrutiny. Our politicians are failing so it's up to communities to stop HyNet. youtu.be/yGIXeWktiWU
Thank you Carolyn Thomas MS / AS. It's good to see a politician doing their job properly and challenging the fossil fuel industry rhetoric. Some food for thought for Mike Amesbury MP, Cheshire West Labour and Matt Bryan Upton who still regard HyNet and #CCS as a silver bullet. leaderlive.co.uk/news/24550520.…
Friends of the Earth and University of Leeds research shows that bus services have halved over the last decade. Government plans to re-regulate bus services are welcome, but alone are not enough. More funding is essential to combat the decline. Continues 👇theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…
The High Court decision to deny the legal case brought by Climate Emergency Planning&Policy against Net Zero Teesside will be appealed. If the decision is left unchallenged, the government could avoid environmental impact assessments through policymaking. Please support 👇 crowdjustice.com/case/net-zero-…
