Ever wondered how much you need to cut your carbon emissions so you can do your bit to prevent further catastrophic impacts of climate change?
We have created a short infographic that gives you the answer, with tips!

DESNZ attitude tracker is out
82% of the public care about climate change
85% of people think we can reduce the effects of climate change if we all do our bit
Trust in newspapers and social media for info on climate is low, high for scientists

BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day!
These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years.

Hey @Jeremy_Hunt We give oil and gas companies £42 million each week in tax breaks! Why not #savetheplanet instead? #climatefight

#ClimateChange is about consumption of richest people in our global society
50% of global life style emissions are emitted by richest 10% of the population.
90% of global emissions by richest 50% of the population.
We need #ClimateJustice to deal with the #ClimateCrisis fairly
Interesting article highlighting why recycling isn't the solution
It's time for change! ♻️👐 #ReducePlastic for a #BetterFuture
Tackling plastic pollution: ‘We can't recycle our way out of this’ f24.my/9Wye.T via @FRANCE24
Absolutely Pete Seeger - couldn’t agree
more. We need a circular economy to drive a better
future. Nothing should be thown away - that is no way
to make a #betterfuture.
You see we can cut plastic pollution, we just need the right policies (driven by consumer demand).

We all need to watch what we eat (for our health and nature's). This report shows that buying from organic and low intensive farms can make a massive difference to nature.

Amazing to see money flow in the right direction - from destruction to regeneration - hope this project gets the cash it needs!

The University of Strathclyde discovered that 0.5% of global carbon emissions can be sequestered by passing CO2 through rock powders, commonly wasted when extracting rocks for construction.
That’s a big dent in the problem just by refining a process!

Scientists have discovered an enzyme from a soil bacteria that created electricity out of hydrogen in the air.
The Huc enzyme offers a real new solution for renewable energy.
There is a long way to go but discoveries like this make our day!

Agrivoltaics offer a solution to energy and food production. This brave new world could be energy and food-abundant, and carbon positive.
We like these apples, carrots, tomatoes and all sorts that could be grown in conditions.

A hopeful report on global carbon emissions, which have seen a rise but are slowing. In China flatlining and in Europe 2.5% decrease.
We are slowly stemming the flow of carbon 😉

We love this from @AwareAnimals . Make simple choices every day which aren’t hard and you, me and the earth will make progress to a better future!
Less than 1% of properties in the UK are powered by renewable technology.
Are we in a climate crisis? I think we are… Does the way your home uses energy reflect that?

Turns out cooking on gas is bad for your health and the environment.
Gas cookers without ventilation are as bad as secondhand smoke and should have a health warning similar to cigarettes. 700,000 cases of asthma linked to gas in a year in the EU!

This 210-acre ground-mounted solar project will go ahead, to achieve net zero. But at the cost of future projects?
With massive fences and public protests, will this set a good precedent or will it be viewed as a bad compromise?

Can surfboards be grown out of fungus? This Welsh designer thinks so!
Definitely one of the most awesome innovations around.
With the right determination he can make it happen!
