More than 50bn land animals are slaughtered for food each year. To produce 1kg of beef requires 25kgs of grain & 15000 litres of water. The agricultural economy is destroying our ability to tackle the #climateemergency & destroying our public health. theguardian.com/environment/…

Police bans on #ExtinctionRebellion protests in London is an unlawful constraint of our rights to #FreedomofExpression and peaceful assembly. Protesters' rights must be respected and their calls for urgent #climateaction heard. amn.st/60121GHZw

Naomi Klein gets huge applause from the 2000 strong crowd here at the Barbican when she states “Extinction Rebellion are not the criminals. They are trying to help us survive. The criminals are those in power who ordered their criminalisation of their protest!” Please RT to agree

You don't have to look far to see where the problem lies. The Telegraph is owned by two billionaires. For the sake of their own, immediate interests they seem prepared to sacrifice a habitable planet.

Wow, these results are staggering. New surveys show that a large majority of Europeans believe that the environment should be prioritized *even at the expense of growth*. So much for the argument that people won't acccept #degrowth.

For too many Londoners, nature simply doesn’t feature in their daily lives. That’s why we’re aiming to become a #NationalParkCity with more than half of our capital green. The new funding announced today will draw more people into our outstanding parks. teapawt.net/cards/8r2o…
