Avaaz - Make polluters pay! Right now, Governor Kathy Hochul is on the verge of deciding whether to sign the bill. It would raise $3 billion a year, funds would come from about three dozen companies and industries responsible for driving global warming

I've just added my name to @We_OwnIt's open letter to Secretary of State for Transport @LouHaigh calling for the new Better Buses Bill to include public ownership, with a voice for passengers, as default for local councils. Take 1 minute to add your name.

Woodland habitat at RoseHill destroyed, piles of dead trees, a public green space turned into a fenced-off lifeless wasteland. This is the truth behind @MyDoncaster tree policy & their claim to protect green space, nature and the environment. Those responsible should be ashamed.

How quickly 30 yr old trees, woodland & habitat has been turned into a lifeless wasteland. This apparently is what protecting green spaces, helping nature recover, stopping loss of trees & woodland to development, and tackling climate change means to @MyDoncaster . Shame on them.

🎉GOOD NEWS 🎉 Leaders from 20 of the world's BIGGEST economies agree to make sure that the ULTRA rich are effectively TAXED. It's time the UK caught up with the rest of the world. Who thinks we ALSO need a national tax system that is more FAIR for ALL? 🙋

Say NO to a shareholder bailout: no water bill hikes while they profit from pollution. I just signed @We_OwnIt's petition asking the government to stop the increase to our water bills to clean up the mess of water privatisation. Nationalise NOW!

Already failing on @MayorRos priority to have “more green space” and a greener Doncaster as @MyDoncaster sells green space & wildlife habitat at RoseHill to developers. Once again lots of words from the Council about how green they are: the reality is very different #greenwashing

Not so much a failing to protect nature by @MyDoncaster as deliberate action to destroy it: publicly owned wildlife habitat at RoseHill sold to a developer by a council that says it protects green spaces & biodiversity. No wonder nature is in crisis @Independent @WildlifeTrusts

"He is pursuing franchising to bring buses back under public control, with the depots and the fleet owned by the Mayoral Combined Authority." 👏 Great that @OliverCoppard used the first speech of his second term to recommit to bus franchising.

Having the head of the state oil company in charge of organising the biggest climate talks of the year is a massive conflict of interest @COP29_AZ. Will you respond to the letter with almost 30k signatures from civil society? #COP29 https://t.co/2M7ODqeeha

I just signed the open letter calling on the COP29 President to remove an oil boss from the organising committee of this year's UN climate conference. Will you sign too?

Sadly the appeal has been upheld😿. Our broken planning system simply does not protect or value trees, woodland, habitat or green space like Rose Hill & neither do Council planners particularly when the council owns the land & is selling it for development https://t.co/kZM4tq2ixh

More #greenwashing from @MyDoncaster boasting about being a “Tree City” whilst selling off public land at Rose Hill to a developer and letting them chop down 1,100 grown trees & woodland (see pics below). The hypocrisy is breathtaking. @MayorRos @Ed_Miliband #ClimateEmergency

The last #Bluebells to bloom on RoseHill.All trees, woodland & habitat here will be destroyed by developers, allowed by @MyDoncaster who own this land but are selling it for profit, despite saying they’ll protect places like this.They should be ashamed (but of course they’re not)
