Hard to be seen when clothing manufacturers, especially for men insist on selling mainly black, beige, grey and blue.
90% of walkers seen today were in black. Looks great but very hard for #mountainrescue to find you if you have a problem. One solution is to pop a cheap high vis vest in your rucksack for emergencies (or you could ask for a new brightly coloured jacket for Christmas 🎁😀) Zac

Let’s stop pretending that we are going to live comfortably https://t.co/ZNfWrfpefn The climate tipping point has arrived, or may already be in the past. The idea that the future might look anything like our past is absurd; massive change is now going to be demanded of us if

Unbelievable, but if true a massive step forward in uncovering what was really going on.
The tantalising possibility that a former Subpostmaster in Cornwall has concrete evidence of fraudulent back end transactions taking money out of her branch account in 2012/2013. https://t.co/kSkNtrPaPl

Ask yourself how the media and politicians didnt make the terrible Post Office scandal clearer to the public. Then understand that the planetary crisis is a billion times more serious. And they've failed to make that clear to the public too. But with this there is no coming back
