Today is Earth Day

The theme for Earth Day is "Restore Our Earth" which focuses on natural processes and emerging green technologies that can restore the world's ecosystems. How can we help?
Go peat-free, cycle and walk instead of drive, avoid single-use plastics and recycle.

Do you care about the future of green spaces, affordable housing for local people, rural transport solutions for all, and climate change.

The government has announced a £3bn investment in the country’s bus services. The detail of what they claim to be a “levelling up” agenda should however be much, much higher and ensure that rural public transport does not once again get left behind.

We campaigned to stop this increase.

Without regular bus services, many people in rural communities are being cut off, isolated and left without the means to live an independent life.

10 years ago, the government drew up a voluntary agreement for retailers to phase out sales of compost based on peat, a crucial carbon sink that combats climate change.
Ten years later, almost all retailers are still selling it!. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-56598452
