"The oldest living thing on Earth is a massive "meadow" of sea grass growing in the Mediterranean between Spain and Cyprus. It's somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 years old and reproduces by cloning itself. Also, it's being killed by climate change."
The big six energy companies have kept cash-strapped households hooked on expensive and dirty fossil fuels for far too long. It’s time to give power to the people to enable more of us to benefit from lower fuel bills. Expanding the subsidy scheme for clean energy would guarantee us a brighter future.
"Deciding whether or not to eat meat or fish is ultimately a personal choice, although working out where the food you eat has come from is key to understanding your personal environmental impact. What remains a fact is that over-consumption of meat has significant ramifications, not only for the environment but also for our health"
" When Osborne said in the Autumn Statement: “We are not going to save the planet by shutting down our steel mills, aluminium smelters and paper manufacturers”, that’s the authentic voice of brown-nosed anti-environmentalism retoxifying the Tory party."
"Coalition on path to becoming most environmentally destructive government to hold power in the UK, say campaigning groups"
"Blaming environmentalism for the faults of our energy supply, ignoring the growth potential of the green economy, slashing transport efficiency for short term populism – if this is the government trying to be the greenest ever, I dread to think what they’ll be like if they stop."
"Transport Secretary Philip Hammond even admitted to fares being “eye-wateringly expensive” and the railways as being a rich man’s (sic) toy, as if this had nothing to do with him."
""This new planning policy is likely to prove about as popular as the Government's ill-conceived plans to sell off the forests - and we need Cameron do a similar U-turn as fast as possible." "
"Another strain of MRSA is emerging from the factory farms of Northern Europe, and it is linked to the insatiable demand for cheap meat on our plates. "
"Today is Earth Overshoot Day, the day on which this year’s resources are used up and we start going into our ecological overdraft again."
I'd want it in a bit warmer and drier climate than Wales, but otherwise, this house is just absolutely perfect size, design, ambience, eco credentials. I want one.
Nuclear power is not necessary. Several studies, from the government's Sustainable Development Commission to Greenpeace and the Centre for Alternative Technology show that Britain can meet is energy needs without nuclear, and reduce carbon emissions at the same time.
With a fourth child, the couple have joined the ranks of the irresponsible, population experts say.
"Keith Taylor, the Green MEP for South East England will today launch a report (1) about air pollution and its health impacts. Each year in the UK air pollution causes 29,000 deaths and contributes to over 200,000 premature deaths, yet public awareness of this killer is very low. Keith Taylor aims to raise awareness of the issues with his new report, ‘Air Pollution: The Invisible Killer’. The report asserts that air pollution is creating an invisible public health crisis which is not being addressed by the UK government."
"The science behind the greenhouse effect is very basic and well established. The ‘greenhouse’ term itself was coined in 1827, demonstrating the heat-trapping effects of CO2 in a lab is 9th grade physical science. CO2 levels are 38% higher than the pre-industrial age."
