  1. More like this please C4. Excellent piece. All I can say that it's vital to relentlessly expose the government's hypocrisy and lies. They say over and over that they will fix everything, and yet do nothing or indeed make things worse.

  2. Remember folks, when it comes to cutting our emissions from farming, the biggest positive change we can make as individuals to reduce emissions, deforestation and destruction of natural habitat is to dramatically reduce or stop eating meat and animal products, This was the clear conclusion of the largest study ever carried out, surveying 34,000 farms around the world, to assess when carbon emissions are coming from in our food system. https://josephpoore.com/Science%20360%206392%20987%20-%20Accepted%20Manuscript.pdf https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/15060 https://ourworldindata.org/food-ghg-emissions You don't have to go vegan but, for the planet, that is the best option. #GoVegan for the planet #GoVegan for the animals #GoVegan for your health #GoVegan to stop the next pandemic This is a step that has direct consequences. Buying meat and dairy directly creates demand for more destruction and cruelty. Stop buying these products and your contribution ends there and then. 👍 Bit if you want to change slowly, remember that if you halve you're consumption, you still halve your contribution halve, and that's much better than doing nothing.

  3. Johnson is talking the usual bullshit. Don't be taken in by these new lies. George Mobiot exposes the government's appalling record and clear hypocrisy here again. They are continuing to water down standards, defund the Environment Agency and Natural England, sucking up to their donors with their factory farms and their shooting estates, all at the expense of wildlife, carbon emissions and healthy ecosystems. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/30/johnson-pledges-environment-un-biodiversity-summit
