Are you plastic-free? I'm not. I'd love to be, but I'm not. Every bit of plastic ever made is still out there somewhere. Even the stuff that’s been recycled. It’s so hard to be completely plastic-free, but it’s not about having a meltdown at the supermarket (we’ve all been

Gutted for the NPWS team at Wild Nephin National Park. They built this trail with locals to make the park more accessible. It had become so popular. My department will be putting all possible resources into establishing who started the blaze. The loss of habitat is devastating.

Green spaces boost physical and mental health, cut pollution, and reduce health disparities. As urbanization grows, investing in inclusive, multifunctional public spaces is critical for healthier cities. Read our report: loom.ly/nCfvyUc via UN-Habitat

Finally, some sense prevails. Delighted to see this decision and hopefully, it will encourage other Local Authorities to push ahead with similar trials, now that they have the legal right to do so.
