Brave Greenpeace activists have boarded a tanker loading toxic plastic chemicals from South Korea’s Hanwha TotalEnergies complex. Their message to governments: Listen to the people: deliver a #PlasticsTreaty that cuts plastic production NOW. greenpeace.org/international/… #INC5

Off the coast of S Korea, where #PlasticsTreaty talks are at a critical stage, Greenpeace International activists board a tanker carrying toxic chemicals for plastic production. We need a strong Global Plastics Treaty now, which seriously cuts plastic production

And now a Cathedral full of people of all ages making blankets for the homeless in south London. The Salvation Army band is playing and, in the words of one young woman, it’s such a ‘wholesome day’

The danger in this bill is that it it will be realised in a culture in which “the idea that our individual worth lies in our utility” is ubiquitous and reinforced daily. A market and status driven society like ours by its nature places no value on the frail, elderly and disabled.

Bakari Mgeni, a fisherman in Tanga, can no longer fish in mangroves and coral reefs destroyed by EACOP construction. His livelihood is gone, and his family is left in despair. Hey TotalEnergies, this is not development; it's destruction. #ClimateJustice #ActNow #StopEACOP!

I think +Sarah’s face says it all. An Inappropriate attempt to inject levity into a dire situation. It’s not the time for quips. Maybe some wanted a “head to roll,” but most people hurt by the church just want honesty, humble accountably and genuine repentance. This ain’t it.

‘Can we recover the revolutionary confidence in God…?’ Yes, a great sermon. I’m so pleased +Rowan will be speaking on this theme at the Kingston lay conference on Sept 20, 2025. If you attend a Kingston ch (and aren’t ordained!) pls save the date. Info’ to follow Southwark Diocese

Elon Musk, the richest man on earth, is dismantling USAID, which feeds the poorest children on earth. This is oligarchy at its worst. Musk’s actions are not only immoral and unconstitutional, they are counterproductive to our standing in the world.

Scientists estimate that one extra death is caused for every 4,434 tonnes of CO₂ emitted. The top 12 billionaires combined emit almost 17 million tonnes a year—causing around 3,800 extra deaths a year, or an average of 320 deaths each. No wonder they're in denial. Links👇

We've reached 1.5°C global warming. With current policies, we're heading for a catastrophic 2.7°C warming. A new review paper in Science shows: this would change the Arctic 'beyond recognition', with knock-on effects (like rising seas) around the world. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Really interesting piece on the Trump playbook from Timothy Snyder, professor history at Yale. Trump is destabilising, causing chaos, deconstructing Govt depts and when Govt fails, will bring wealthy Oligarch’s in to fill the void. Guess where Trump got that. Second point…

⁦Proud to host ⁦Save Wimbledon Park⁩ meeting this evening at St Barnabas Southfields. Democracy costs £200,000 to fund a judicial review of plans to excavate and destroy soil and trees of 73 acres. A test case for 50 London sites. Our public green spaces need protecting.

I just supported this case! crowdjustice.com/case/save-wimb… via CrowdJustice to enable a proper judicial review of plans that are not in the public interest. Please contribute to ensure a proper democratic and legal process on covenanted land for public benefit.
