Love big ideas, especially surrounding climate, social stuff and brain food. Don’t tweet much (scared of trolls) but love reading others.

To Sainsbury's - Please tell me someone at Sainsburys cares enough about the Earth's future to take more action to limit the use of plastic packaging. I used to spend £100 a week at Sainsburys but I am taking my £ elsewhere. Please act now.

Really pleased with my new bikini for Summer 2019 (when it comes) from @FinisterreUK. Made from ECONYL - a material made from discarded fishing nets and other waste materials. Renewable packaging and top quality service. finisterre.com/products/women…

Just been on a short-haul British Airways flight. There was no system to separate recyclable rubbish from general waste. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall #plastic #WaronPlastic I know me taking a flight is hypocritical but can we at least try to minimise the bad?

Syria: Kids in Idlib scavenge for food youtu.be/00ATCBUTQ_k via YouTube 7 mins of powerful TV - showing the lottery of life - these kids were born in the wrong place at the wrong time. And yet they are still singing... Amazing.

I received a personalised letter from the PM today urging me to vote ⁦Chris Heaton-HarrisConservatives⁩ but not a mention of protecting the #environment or #ClimateEmergency. Clearly this is not a priority for the Conservative Party so they won’t get my vote #ClimateElection

One year 6 son back in school today but his big brother in year 8 remains at home (despite this being his LAST term in school before heading to senior school). The rules don't work. Are you listening Department for Education ???? Are you lobbying for year 8 to return Independent Schools Council ?? 🙏

Books can be a respite from the world and a source of wisdom & perspective, especially in these dark times. For #WorldBookDay CA-WN shares books we love on a climate & environmental theme. What would you recommend? uk.bookshop.org/shop/WeAreCAWN World Book Day UK 📚

I am going to do this. Not just because of our soaring energy bills but if it can help #stopputin #energy #togetherforbetter theguardian.com/environment/20…

As I sat sweating inside my darkened house this afternoon, I watched a recording from last week of a high-level briefing delivered to MPs on the latest climate science by Sir Patrick Vallance. Only 70 MPs attended but we ALL should watch it #ActNow youtu.be/kXQ46R15e1c

It was great to have Cllr Nunn talking to us today, and taking part in a lively Q&A panel afterwards. This type of public engagement is really important. Huge thanks too to the team from Sustainable West Northants.
