👏 Congratulations to the Polish Greens for their massive success in the local elections.

💚12 Partia Zieloni Greens joined local governments, a historical result.

🎉 These new councillors will make sure that Green values are brought to the centre of Polish conversations!

Yes. And not only this… but consider that if we all *dont* vote for the left/green politics we *really* want, Starmer will look out from his landslide & think any electoral threat is coming only from the likes of Reform/the racist right, and so that’s the direction he’ll head in

My local Area Highways Manager made a point of telling me today that he now makes sure contractors are aware that they’re operating in a SSSI. A small change, but among the many things a Green councillor can bring about, and for nature such changes make a big difference 🌿

We're collecting bikes for our youth projects next week. We'll be in Cheltenham and Gloucester- if you have a bike we can use, we'd be happy to collect it. The youth projects are such a vital part of what we do and we need bikes for older teens, adults & kids... Thanks so much!

Lovely pictures from our Environment Officer, Pete!🤩

We're VERY jealous of our environment team & volunteers on sunny days, when we're stuck inside on our laptops (not so much when they're out working in the rain!😆). ☀

Soak up some springtime sun on YOUR canal today! 🌼🐛🌞

It might just be time to ban private jets.

Love this from Planet Cheltenham #borrowdontbuy 💚

It’s the feast day of St Guthlac! My favourite Saint. He lived in a barrow in a marsh, drank muddy water & ate mouldy bread. Unsurprisingly on that diet he was troubled by visions Here he is beset by beastly demons in pic 1 and he’s giving a demon a sound thrashing in pic 2.

Like the sound of this 👇🏼💚 Really helps to see low carbon heating in someone’s home to understand how it could work in yours

My veg box delivery note said they’ve not been able to plant yet because of the conditions in the fields. UK food security is a priority of Government: there should be both plans for wetter winters & (unbelievably) summer droughts and/or stopping worse.

It's not raining* and things are definitely looking springlike...

If you're inspired to get out and explore our area, why not head to greenseen.info/calendar/? You can immediately see what's on - from gardening events to eco talks.

*may change at any time

This feels like A Big Thing: bbc.com/news/science-e…. European Court of Human Rights’ ruling governs 46 countries (& as the highest court, there’s no appeal) that governments must quantify efforts to reduce GHG emissions to protect citizens from climate change impacts.

A lovely write up of our exciting Green campaign in the Stroud District Council election. We only need to take a few seats off the Conservatives to become the largest Party in the Council - and a few more for a Green majority! #VoteGreen stroudtimes.com/first-ever-loc…

🚊 18 months since we met govt’s deadline for the 1st stage of review (called a Strategic Outline Business Case) for the reopening of a Bristol line station in Stonehouse

⏰ The minister’s visit yesterday was welcome, but a decision on our application remains long overdue

I’m proud we opened our doors to Ukrainians in need

Let’s do the same for the Palestinian people

8 days left to reach 100,000 signatures. We can do this! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6485…

This is potentially huge for public sector procurement: fruitnet.com/fresh-produce-…. Allows procurers to select sources using individual farm’s sustainability data, & so reward regen farmers + enable procurer to use that actual data, not averages, to quantify their own sustainability
