I’m pleased Parliament has declared a #ClimateEmergency But words are cheap - we need urgent action So to be clear You can’t declare #climate emergency AND continue business as usual - fracking, building new runways, industrialised farming etc etc sluggerotoole.com/2019/05/01…

Around 100 students from local schools including @Highfields4C marched into @Derbyshirecc offices today demanding the council declare a #ClimateEmergency. RT to support #YouthStrike4Climate and demand your council does the same! #FridaysForFuture #ClimateAction @Strike4Youth

Op Raptor is live. If you poison, disturb, shoot or steal their eggs we are coming after you. Bird of prey persecution is unacceptable.
