Human-edible crops should be fed directly to people instead of to animals used to produce meat or dairy. This change could feed an extra 16.5 million people in the UK every year. #factoryfarms #foodwaste #clomatecrisis #meat #milk

SHOCKING: Factory farming is the world's biggest cause of food waste.

If we stopped feeding grain to factory farmed animals, we could feed an extra two billion people every year – that’s almost a quarter of the world’s population.

Not a distant catastrophe... we are seeing #climatecrisis impacts right now. Extreme flooding, wildfires, droughts, crops failing, excessive high temperatures, seasonal changes - all of which lead to rising prices not to mention death and destruction.

But building a #sustainable economy leads to reduced #costofliving. For example, #solarpower is much cheaper than #fossilfuels. The billions of pounds directed to subsidizing #polluting fuels should be used to make our communities more resilient.

Outdoor Halloween cobweb spray becomes a real horror story for insects and birds ☠️🐝🐦

Just don't buy the stuff - apart from harming wildlife if used outside, it's made of plastic so it sheds microplastics into the environment wherever it's sprayed ☣️

Just extraordinary to witness this nature-hating government sabotaging Labour’s own legacy. And for absolutely no reason: nature protection isn’t blocking development - it’s a necessary prerequisite for it (& for everything else, come to that…)

Here’s the video you’re referencing :)

Jane was vegan and well understood the fallacy of ‘ethical’ treatment of animals brought into the world to be victimized, but as she was a highly diplomatic figure, she urged a stubborn/indifferent population to move towards plants.

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE.

Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.

Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.
