People constantly claim that Solar Panels will 'destroy farmland'.

But actually the opposite is true, in many parts of the world the shade and trapped moisture Solar Panels provide allow MORE crops to grow, even though a large percentage of Solar Panels is covering the land.

Palm oil is the leading cause of orangutan decline and affects 193 threatened species worldwide.

So I started looking into this to outline the conspiracy theory. But what I found was a genuinely beautiful piece of practical idealism. A small, attainable progressive change that would hugely improve people's lives. I was inspired by it.

It’s an absurd anomaly that the most polluting form of transport pays not just the least - but zero tax, no VAT and no fuel duty, making it artificially cheaper than all other ways to travel.

All of our profits are used to buy land for nature. It’s a great concept, every time you call, text, scroll or just surf - you can do good, every action on your phone leads to an action for nature. We’ve reinvented Doomscrolling - with Ecotalk it’s Bloomscrolling.

Great proposal this. Continues to be incredibly funny and incredibly stupid that for years we've *banned* bus and rail operators "colluding" to make their timetables integrate with each other.

Incredible and outrageous.

Incredibly this rare, ancient 21 mile long chalk stream is officially a road. Outrageously it’s being used for 4x4 fun - destroying nature in the process.

Bakkafrost’s Portree site is a crime scene. Environmental, biosecurity and consumer safety regulations have all been thrown into the fish shredder. Tesco surely must move to protect its customers and its reputation - and dump Bakkafrost.
