The private jet tax could raise millions. It could fund an emergency insulation programme, better buses or community-owned energy. The biggest polluters should pay the most towards tackling climate change and protecting the vulnerable from its impacts. #PolluterPaysPrinciple #ClimateJustice

The super rich criss-cross the globe in private jets, while many people can’t afford to heat their homes. This inequality *must* be reduced, as part of a #justtransition. We need a strong private jet tax, set at least 10x higher than current air tax, to support #climatejustice.

Data centres for AI could more than double Scotland's total electricity use. If it’s really Scotland’s Energy, why let big tech use so much of the renewable electricity we need for our homes, our transport, our industry? We need a moratorium on hyperscale data centres. @stephengethins.bsky.social

If it's Scotland's Energy, prove it! Ordinary people should feel the benefit of Scotland's renewables wealth. The ScotWind wealth fund should seed fund #communityownership of energy, land, community hubs, pubs and other assets. @ourpower.scot @cescotland.bsky.social @lesleyriddoch.bsky.social

Bus routes are being cut across Scotland under private ownership. Scottish Government should ✅ fast-track franchising so bus services can be ✅ brought back under local public control, with ✅ minimum service guarantees for rural areas. @betterbusesspt.bsky.social @foescot.bsky.social

All of Scotland needs a £2 bus fare cap by May: the end of this Parliament year. England's will be in place in January! Many people on lower incomes rely on buses. Others want to leave the car at home but need encouragement. This is a no-regrets way to reduce cost of living & climate impact. 🚌

"Humanists do the right thing even though no-one is watching." We're so proud of our celebrant Senga Ishaq who delivered Time for Reflection at Holyrood today. It's the 1st time since 2022 and only 4th time this parliamentary session (2021-26) a humanist has been offered the Time for Reflection slot

The Humanist Society Scotland are on Bluesky! 🥳
