We welcome the Secretary of State's commitment to invest in tree-planting - but that investment cannot come at a cost to our peatlands. This investment needs to be in peat-free trees. #EndPeatSales Read more https://loom.ly/tuoCJOA

Sally can finally eat mushrooms again! 🍄 We’ve now seen peat-free action from Booths, Waitrose, Sainsburys and now Tesco… but we’re not done yet! Ask your supermarket to do their bit to save peatlands using http://peatfreepartnership.org.uk 📣 #EndPeatSales

Sunnies off. Wellies on. We’re going to the bog 🌿 Did you know that in the UK, our bogs are also known as peatlands, because they’re stuffed full of peat – the stuff you can still find in bagged compost. Follow us to join our mission to save our bogs from this fate! #EndPeatSales

We want #peat out of our homes for good! #Peatlands are being dug up & destroyed to help grow food & other products that appear in our homes... faster than they can form. Ask your supermarket to join you in going #PeatFree as part of the @peatfree.bsky.social campaign👇

Peat-free Partnership - End Peat Sales Now

The Peat-free Partnership are campaigning for legislation to end the sale and supply of peat for horticulture.

This week Waitrose responded to one of our campaigners, explaining that demand prevents them from going fully peat-free. But many customers have no idea that their weekly shop contributes towards the destruction of our peatlands. Ask your supermarket to save our peatlands https://loom.ly/d2yfpWs

Our partnership's vision is of a future where peat is in the best place to protect us - in peatlands. 🌱 Thank you to @‌florence_boo for bringing our vision of thriving peatlands to life. 📢 Join us in our campaign to ask supermarkets to save peatlands https://peatfreepartnership.org.uk/

Don’t assume your organic veg is peat-free too 😱 Organic doesn't always mean environmentally friendly. While organic growers avoid synthetic chemicals, peat can still be used because it's a natural material, despite the harm caused by its extraction.

The best time to #EndPeatSales is now. We are a movement fighting to end peat sales. Alongside partners such as Riverford, we will not stop until peatlands are safe from industrial extraction. Want to join us? Take part in our latest actionhttps://loom.ly/d2yfpWs

It’s been 4 years since the UK Government promised to ban peat… and it’s still being sold! Without a ban in place our peatlands are still being destroyed and peat is ending up in places you might not expect - like our weekly shop! Ask your supermarket to go peat-free - https://loom.ly/d2yfpWs

Peatlands are some of our most incredible wetland habitats. There are countless reasons why peatlands are incredible. But they’re being destroyed to grow the food in your home! Act now to save peatlands! Ask your supermarket what they’re doing to get peat off our plates- peatfreepartnership.org.uk

Today, @nationaltrust.org.uk has announced that its plant sales are now 100% peat-free, from seed to shelf! The UK Government must end peat sales. We've waited four years for legislation, while peatlands continue to be destroyed. National Trust has shown a better way. Credit: Hort Week

Buying peat-free compost and thinking you’re free from peat in your home? 🤔 Sadly, it’s nearly impossible to avoid! We’re asking supermarkets to play their part in helping us save peatlands, but we need your help to get them to listen. 📣 Contact your supermarket - https://loom.ly/d2yfpWs

Peat belongs in peatlands, not on our plates. ⚠️ Did you know some of our food is still grown using peat? 🫐 Peatlands are vital for our climate, yet they're being destroyed to supply our food chain.🍽️ Ask your supermarket what they’re doing to save peatlands - https://loom.ly/d2yfpWs #EndPeatSales

This #InternationalBogDay we’re showing the love for our peatland bogs! They support some of the UK's most unique plants, lock away vast amounts of carbon, help reduce flood risk by absorbing rainfall and even act as a natural filter for our water. Want to learn more? 👉https://loom.ly/HrANLSg

From Blanket Bogs to Fens, the UK is home to a surprising variety of peatland habitats. While they may look different, all peatlands play a vital role in storing carbon, supporting wildlife and helping us respond to a changing climate. Discover more about the different peatlands below 👇

Thinking about going peat-free this year but not sure where to start? 🌱 Last month at the Chelsea Flower Show, our peat-free advocate Sally Nex spoke to RHS-recognised Peat-free Champions to get their top advice. One simple question: what’s your advice for gardeners ready to make the switch?

It’s only fitting that the recent #BritishFlowersWeek celebrates the beauty of homegrown blooms and the sustainability behind them. 🌸 A big part of that? Going peat-free. These Peat-free champions are proving it can be done. Watch to find out more 🎥

Beneath our feet, peatlands are doing extraordinary things. 🌍 Bogs, fens & marshes lock away carbon and support unique wildlife like these species here. But peat extraction destroys this balance, and the wildlife too.

A landmark moment for the peat-free mission 🌿 For the first time in its history, the Chelsea Flower Show is fully peat-free! This is a huge step forward in protecting our precious peatlands, which store carbon, support wildlife, and help tackle climate change. #PeatFree #RHSChelsea
