🌍 It’s #EarthOvershootDay. We’ve used more than the planet can renew.

The EU must face its huge material footprint. The new Circular Economy Act needs bold targets to cut resource use.

I'm not running to be Co-leader of the Scottish Greens.

I'll keep fighting for people & planet but we need to tackle the cultural issues inside our house first.

Members have asked for a cultural review, & I hope leadership candidates make sure it happens.

In recent years, the Scottish Greens have become "establishment" and "middle class."

That's what a group of activists challenging party leaders for coveted spots on the Holyrood list say.

New nuclear plants won't cut our energy bills, they'll only line the pockets of profiteers.

The only nuclear plant being constructed in the UK is projected to finish 6 years late and £28 billion(!) over budget.

We must invest in harnessing Scotland's huge renewable potential.

The bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond must be protected!

#SaveLochLomond
155,000 of us came together to #SaveLochLomond.

SEPA, the National Trust for Scotland, Woodland Trust, Ramblers & the National Park's planning experts all objected to Flamingo Land.

But Government officials have still approved this destructive mega-resort.
