The climate denial from this local councillor from a town literally disappearing into the sea is mind boggling… A great piece all round, but scroll down about 2/3 to hear a truly wild denial of the changing climate and extreme storms… theguardian.com/environment/ar…

First time on the upgraded Glasgow Subway, oh and someone’s left a disposable vape behind…

Despite the left behind vape, the new trains are great! It reminds me of when I was 16 and I sat all day on the subway getting people to fill out my survey about the modernisation of the

A trip home last weekend to visit family and they’ve still got overflowing plant pots full of littered disposable vapes. While we wait for the ban we continue to see millions going to landfill each week, and thousands being littered.
