🟢Small changes to how we build our towns and cities can make a massive difference. @ShonaMcIn_SGP recently secured a traffic island in East Lothian, allowing people with buggies and children to cross the road safely.

Great to see our Cllr Shona McIntosh and candidate @amandafgrimm speaking at the Green Futures Festival. Nice to share the day with groups like Fixing for a Future , John Muir's Birthplace and Lil. So much happening at community level to bring about a greener future. 💚🌻Scot Communities CAN

We're pleased to announce Cllr Shona McIntosh will contest the seat of Lothian East at the next Westminster election. With temperatures rocketing and extreme weather affecting us all, climate action is top of our agenda. #VoteGreen #NoPlanetB #JustTransition

Musselburgh folk, you can join #GeneralElection candidate @amandafgrimm next Sunday for another newsletter action day. 💚 Sunday 7th April Meet at 11am at the Brunton Theatre Optional cafe lunch and debrief Open to all, no experience necessary!🙂 #activegreens

Ambitious heat network plans making waves beyond the county boundary - great to start these conversations and think about how we can link up regionally to deliver on both clean, cheap heat + sustainable transport infrastructure! 🚴🏻‍♂️🚶🏾‍♀️♿️🛴♨️🚿

We’ve put together a template objection to the Musselburgh Flood Protection Scheme: focussing on the need for greater understanding of coastal erosion; & on biodiversity impacts and lowering carbon emissions. Please help us by filling it out! greens.scot/improve-flood-…

Vote Labour, get climate delay and unsubstantiated waffle about hydrogen having the potential to heat all the homes in the country (spoiler alert: it doesn’t- carbonbrief.org/heat-pumps-up-….)

Torness must be decommissioned and East Lothian - like the rest of the world - pivot to genuinely clean energy and green jobs. New nuclear costs mega💷 , does nothing for fuel poverty, and creates hazardous waste that will last for thousands of years. 💨☀️🌊=⚡️

Across East Lothian all voters will have a chance to put climate and social justice first with their ballot. Vote @amandafgrimm in Edinburgh East &Musselburgh, or @ShonaMcIn_SGP in Lothian East. #NoNewOil #RefugeesWelcome #ProtectTransKids #VoteScottishGreens #NoPlanetB

The fantastic @amandafgrimm has done a power of work to organise this event: please come along on Saturday to hear more about how what’s good for the planet is also good for your energy bills and comfort! #Cosy #Retrofit #DistrictHeatSolutions

Do *you* think we all deserve better than yet another climate U-turn from Starmer? Join us for a campaign session in North Berwick this Sunday to talk to voters about renewables, a sustainable economy and protecting our natural environment for a liveable future! 2.30 at Steampunk

Reposting this for the benefit of BBC News (UK) who seem to have missed the fact we are standing! (Perhaps they should be subscribing to local journalism: the East Lothian Courier had the full line-up weeks ago 😊)

“The climate is the most urgent issue in this election” Shona McIntosh is the Green candidate for Lothian East. We’re looking at the seat as part of our series on key constituencies in the Forth 1 patch ahead of the election >> hellorayo.co.uk/forth/local/ne…

We have 5 years left to keep global temperatures from breaching safe levels for humanity. 🔥 Labour will be in Government during that time. Vote to show them they need to be greener, & properly fund a #justtransition. ☀️ Vote like our future depends on it. #VoteScottishGreens
