Strikes us that at a challenging time for transport and climate - we need to preserve local prime arable, food producing land. #northberwick #buildonbrownfield #nothanksbupa

Just a thought folks. If the ‘retirement village’ doesn’t perform - does it close? And the trashing of our land for nothing? #northberwick #tantallon

'There's no planet B', a group of school pupils from North Berwick shared with us why they got involved in the #ClimateStrike @ScotParl. Read our latest blog bit.ly/2JxaJSJ #YouthStrike4Climate

Absolutely. This @BBCScotlandNews @BBCRadio4 claim that climate deniers give balance is perverse and immoral. It serves to undermine science and facts, occupies airtime trying to justify a factual situation instead of holding politicians to account and finding solutions.
Really proud of the whole Scottish climate movement today 4 refusing to go on @BBCScotlandNews because they platformed a climate denier & forcing them to cancel the segment
Including: @FoEScot @sccscot @2050ClimateGrp @ScotlandXr @ClimateActionSc @scotgp & the climate strikers

I was in @coopukfood - still cheaper to buy four cans of tuna wrapped in plastic than just four cans of tuna. You are incentivising me to waste plastic. When is this going to change? No food waste issue here. #plasticpollution #PlasticFreeTuesday #zerowaste
Wanted to buy 4 cans of Tuna @coopukfood but found that I have to pay 65p extra so as not to have a layer of plastic around the cans. You are incentivising me to pollute. A multi-buy deal is surely possible without the extra plastic?

We would love it if @leecraigie_ , Scotland's new #ActiveNation Commissioner, visited #EastLothian to hear about our 14-year campaign for a safe four-mile walking/cycling link connecting Drem & Gullane.

Half way up #northberwick Law this morning. Lovely view - although the construction site not so pretty. Dread to think what a gated village would do to highlighted spot.

We recommend that all our supporter make sure their views are known on the proposed change from a default 30 mph speed limit in built-up areas to a default 20 mph limit parliament.scot/parliamentar… please complete the survey & write to your MSPs

Good to see @ELCouncil consulting on climate change strategy. Public invited to have their say. Sustainable transport, walking and cycling are key elements.

Don't know what to do with those old face scrubs and shower gels that you've realised have microbeads in? Donate them to science! They can help scientists figure out how to get rid of microplastics. Please search your bathroom cupboards and get in touch with @frankensoils
Does anyone have now-banned cosmetic products with plastic microbeads? We use these microbeads in research experiments and would appreciate any donations. Science is a better destination than landfill! @FidraTweets @greatnurdler @cathgem2000 @mcsuk @GoodScrub can you help?

Scotland is world-famous for cycling -- but a lack of traffic-free routes is holding back the full potential of cycle tourism. Read our new report to find out why we want new off-road cycle routes created across Scotland #cycling #Scotland #ScotSpirit transformscotland.org.uk/blo…

Hi @TransformScot! We think part of answer for sustainable transport is reducing the need to travel. We're creating a coworking space in #Dunbar - great alternative to commuting to #Edinburgh for lots of people! Info event on Monday evening in Dunbar coworkingdunbar.com

We are investigating astroturf & plastic pollution, mainly looking at artificial sports pitches that use loose rubber granules to improve play quality. The rubber is a clear source of microplastic, but the grass pieces are also lost... DM if you'd like to chat more about this.

These cotton buds were collected in just one hour on one small stretch of beach. This is why we need legislation banning the sale and manufacture of plastic stemmed cotton buds #ShoreYouCare @mcsuk @cathgem2000 @AlasdairNeilson #GOplasticfree
