🎬 You Told Us to Talk About the Weather is a new short film exploring why it’s so hard to speak openly about climate.
Based on a poetry series by award-winning playwright Emma Louise Howell and starring Olivier & BAFTA-nominated Michael Sheen.

Male chicks are killed within hours of hatching because they can't lay eggs or grow fast enough for meat. They're either ground up alive, gassed, or suffocated 🐣
One of the hardest things about being vegan is seeing how easily people excuse the destruction caused by eating animals. The meat industry is behind 91% of Amazon deforestation, but hey, bacon.
A four-panel meme featuring the same woman pointing her finger in each image. The captions read: - Top left: "Age 4: 'Eat your fruit!'" - Top right: "Age 7: 'Eat your greens!'" - Bottom left: "Age 12: 'Eat your beans!'" - Bottom right: "After you go vegan: 'What am I supposed to cook for you now?!'" The woman looks progressively more perplexed in each panel.
How many of you went vegan during childhood?

Recent studies have hammered home a simple truth: eating a healthy, plant-based diet can drastically reduce your risk of dying from conditions like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and dangerous blood clots.
Elephant rides are being banned in places like Indonesia. That’s progress. But removing the ride doesn’t remove the system. Zoos, safari parks, and wildlife attractions still rely on turning living individuals into tourist experiences.
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
You’re driving real change for animals – and this month’s progress shows just how powerful your voice is.

The image shows a peaceful scene with a sheep and two lambs lying on a grassy field. The sheep is gently nuzzling one of the lambs, creating a tender and caring moment. Overlaying the image is a quote by Lyn White that reads, "Since we can lead healthy, happy, fulfilling lives without harming those who share this world with us, why wouldn't we?" The text is in white, with Lyn White's name in green.
Why would we choose to harm others when we could easily not?
Elephants don’t belong behind bars. Not in zoos, not anywhere. They’re social, intelligent beings with deep family bonds - not entertainment 🐘

As the US/Israel attack on Iran is likely to tip the UK into recession, let's not forget that Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are trashing our rivers, ecosystems, communities, health and resilience for the sake of economic growth. But, as they are now discovering, it's not something they can control.

In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks

Image divided into two sections: the top shows two smiling farmers standing in a barn with cows behind them. Text reads, 'We love our animals, we treat them like our own children.' The bottom shows a woman on the phone looking serious, with text reading, 'Allo? Child Protective Services?'
Farmers say the most terrifying (and revealing) things 😳
Animal products come from selectively bred animals, living in their own waste, pumped with hormones, and mutilated without anaesthesia… but it’s plant-based meats that raise eyebrows? 🤔
A two-panel meme from The Simpsons. The top panel shows a glowing alien-like figure in a forest with the caption, "I bring you love." The bottom panel shows an angry mob with weapons, shouting, "It's bringing love. Don't let it get away!" and "BREAK ITS LEGS!" The meme is captioned: "Accurate representation of what it's like to be vegan.
Standard day for a vegan 😅
France banned wild animals in circuses — now it's time to finish the job 🇫🇷

Grass-fed or not, cow flesh is a climate disaster. The emissions, the deforestation, the water use, the methane - it’s a perfect storm. And we’ve known it for decades.
Several lambs stand in a straw-filled pen beside a tall wooden fence. One lamb climbs the fence, stretching their front legs over the top rail while their back legs push against the boards. Two adult sheep on the other side lean down toward the lamb, touching noses through the gap. Other lambs with green spray markings gather below, looking up.
Animal farming tears families apart 💔
We urge the government to get on with it before more animals suffer needlessly.
The time for change is now.

On 1 April 2025, the government promised that the long-awaited consultation on hunting would be launched.
First, we were told it would happen by the end of 2025. Then it became autumn. Then early in the new year.
So where is it?
“the world had been warming at a rate of around 0.2C per decade since the 1970s, but has “accelerated” since 2015 to a rate of 0.35C per decade”

A young farm worker in a barn holds a small lamb while spraying a blue marking dye onto the lamb’s back from a red aerosol can. The lamb looks toward the camera while other sheep stand behind metal railings in the background. Hay bales and wooden barn walls are visible around them.
This baby is being spray painted, marked as property. In just a few weeks, he'll be herded into a slaughterhouse, forced to watch the others go first. His final cries won’t be for his life — they’ll be for his mum.
Flight-free travel doesn’t have to cost more. Coaches, rail-and-sail tickets, Interrail passes and overnight trains can all make overland travel surprisingly affordable. Planning ahead helps too. flightfree.co.uk/post/how-to-...
Food security warnings are getting louder.
Which makes using huge areas of land for things like aviation biofuels even harder to justify.

This growing movement is uniting organisations – including us – landowners, communities and decision-makers to restore thriving ecosystems, boost rural livelihoods and celebrate Welsh landscapes and our wild nature.
