Our rivers are choking on pollution, weโ€™re losing our precious woodlands, our seas are overfished & our peat bogs are being burned. Come and march with me on June 22nd in London! RestoreNatureNow.com #RestoreNatureNow

How better to finish my month of #readwithpride than this joyful Arthurian romp with witty, pitch-perfect repartee from Lex Croucher ? Arthur is drawn to Gwenโ€™s brother and Gwen to a lady knight, so it all gets gloriously gay. #sapphicbooks #achilleanbooks

I just sat in the sunshine finishing this nature-centred, anti-violent Arthurian quest for 7+ by @poetclare โ€” itโ€™s full of amazing creatures and plants. My favourite is the lesser-scented ghostbell (inhale its scent to see whatโ€™s invisible until dawnโ€ฆ) #ecofeminism #greenkidlit

Today in the Kingโ€™s speech the priorities were outlined for this parliamentary term โ€“ nature was not mentioned once . We need this new government to commit to restoring nature in their first 100 days in office , get involved at lovera.ge/signup

I've trusted your products for years Dove, believing in your message of empowerment. After seeing Greenpeace UK expose your plastic pollution, and you arresting them for truth-telling, I feel betrayed. You're harming the very women you claim to support. I'm done. #DitchDove

One teaspoon of the neonicotinoids pesticide could kill 1.25 billion bees. And yet the Government could be about to let it back on English fields. Sign the petition: tell Ministers to keep this ban on bee-killing pesticides in place. 38d.gs/-ufv
