Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This week's column is about something that's arguably more important than anything in the news, crucial as some of the other issues are.

How much longer will the British Government continue to arm Israel?! The British people do not condone this! @teamlabouruk.bsky.social
Oh my fucking god.
It looks like Israel murdered eight Palestine Red Crescent Society workers, a UN employee, and five civil defense staff.
They crushed up and buried entire ambulances and civil defense vehicles in the fucking mass grave.

Well this is terrifying. All the more reason to grow your own if you can or join a local community garden (or volunteer at a city farm like @oxfordcityfarm.bsky.social) if you don’t have access to a garden or allotment.
A gobsmacking story. Water companies let toxic waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. The sewage sludge is then spread, untested, on farmland, potentially poisoning vast areas, entire ecosystems and the people (you and me) eating the food.
