It seems that @Waitrose has stopped selling non-homogenised semi-skimmed milk. It was the only place I could get it. Lost my custom now.

Just read Lyrebird by @Meredith__Clark, a beautifully written and crafted memoir. I do think that poets sometimes write the best non-fiction.

Every little helps but @Tesco is doing nothing to stop forest fires in Brazil. Enough ‘targets’ and PR. So if you eat meat stop buying it from forest destroyers and stop fuelling forest fires - now! #TescosBurningSecret

We MUST #StopHS2 now. 24yrs ago, this was happening in road protests & we thought we’d not see the like of it again. This, in these times, with the scientific knowledge we have, is disastrous. Not all ‘sustainable’ transport is good. The loss of wildlife & habitat is catastrophic

Switching to a plant-based diet reduces the land area required to feed us by 76%. This means far more land for wildlife, ecosystems and carbon storage. More than any other shift, it could curtail the 6th great extinction, while securing our own survival.
