Lazy Saturday by the river for this beauty

Hope everyone is getting out in the green today

Labour to commit almost £22bn to fund carbon capture and storage projects Investment will fund two CCS clusters – but environmental campaigners have criticised plans

£22bn to help a few in the fossil fuel industry prolong their destruction of our environment for their own gain, have I understood this correctly?

5th paragraph in this article says it all.

How can we/I challenge this??

Got one more walk in the big Devon green before going back to the grind tomorrow

The hound was in full goblin mode and thoroughly enjoyed it too!

A wet but warm walk today, great to be outdoors after a long week!

What a place to have grown up, how lucky! And yep, if you’ve got the right kit the rains no drama

Nice, hope it’s dry-ish for you!

Happy Friday Devon!

Who’s out in the big green this weekend? Any adventures planned?

What fantastic news for all those involved and the locals in the Lake District!

Would love to see more of this, especially on Dartmoor

Europe’s farming lobbies recognise need to eat less meat in shared vision report Dialogue with green groups results in agreement on ‘urgent, ambitious and feasible’ reforms in agriculture

This is smart and makes me all the more sad that the UK will probably ignore this

The livestock lobby is waging war on ‘lab-grown meat’. This is why we can’t let them win | George Monbiot These new proteins could be our best hope of averting catastrophe. But governments are trying to have them banned, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

13. Did I say useful? I’ve come to see new fermentation approaches as the most important environmental techs ever developed: the only means I can see of reversing the expansion of one of the two most destructive industries on Earth, livestock farming.
