Sadly, although I wrote this a couple of years ago, it’s still as relevant as ever.
How sad on this October day To see our hedges shorn away Small creatures would've liked to eat The hawthorn berries, rose hips sweet, Blackberries, nuts and sloes, But through the blades the banquet goes. Won’t somebody heed our words And leave the berries for the birds @PamAyres

Every year, an estimated 3.4 billion single-use plates and cutlery are used in England. 🍴 Only 10% are recycled. We’re committed to reducing plastic pollution. From October, we’re banning the supply of many #SingleUsePlastic items: https://t.co/R5y2wUfkYB

With all this media coverage, ignorance is no longer a defence! If you choose to treat your garden like a cheese sandwich and cover it in plastic, you are doing so knowing full well the damage you're causing for all of us. https://t.co/j30jFdkwGk

Yet another neighbour asking for Artificial Grass installer recommendations. I'm still using my trusty graphic to change hearts and minds away from @Shitlawns and towards repairing soils and relaying a real one.

The cost to restore a front and back garden makes it blatantly obvious that laying artificial grass will devalue your home. Buyers can and should demand its removal before sale. https://t.co/Eqe00w824u

I am so concerned about the use of plastic grass that if anyone on here is considering using it I will give you alternative advice ( free )as to how to landscape without it. If I can stop one square meter being layed it's worth the effort.
