Ddoe roedden ni yn y Senedd ar gyfer digwyddiad Y Farchnad. Fe wnaethon ni sgwrsio ag Aelodau'r Senedd o Blaid Cymru, y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig a Llafur Cymru am ein hymgyrchoedd, Bil yr Amgylchedd a'n galwadau ar gyfer etholiad Senedd 2026. Fe wnaethon ni fwynhau cysylltu â sefydliadau eraill hefyd.

Yesterday we were in the Senedd for a marketplace event. We chatted to Senedd Members from Plaid Cymru, Welsh Conservatives and Welsh Labour about our campaigns, the Environment Bill and asks for the 2026 Senedd election. And we enjoyed touching base with other organisations too!

Rhaid cael gwared ar domenni peryglus Ffos y Fran. Ni fyddai cynllun adfer diwygiedig perchennog y safle yn gwneud hyn. Mae @SeneddHinsawdd wedi cytuno i godi pryderon gyda Llywodraeth Cymru. Rydyn ni'n galw i'r cais gael ei alw i mewn. foe.cymru/cy/rhaid-cae...

This recent study on the levels of harmful chemicals like PCBs in Welsh otters is alarming. Now we must listen to concerns of communities living near sites like Ty Llwyd in Caerphilly where Monsanto, dumped PCBs and ensure they are safe. nation.cymru/news/rising-...

Rhaid adfer Ffos y Fran a'i wneud yn ddiogel, fel yr addawyd i'r gymuned – mae hynny'n golygu llenwi'r twll. Nid yw'n golygu gadael tomenni peryglus a gwneud cyn lleied â phosibl. Mae hwn yn fater o ddiogelwch cyhoeddus a chyfiawnder amgylcheddol. www.bbc.co.uk/cymrufyw/ert...

Rhybudd o 'risg sylweddol' wrth gadw tomenni Ffos-y-Fran uwchben Merthyr

Pryderon am ddiogelwch tair tomen fawr sydd yn debygol o gael eu gadael uwchben Merthyr Tudful yn dilyn cau safle glo brig dadleuol Ffos-y-Fran.

Ffos y Fran must be fully restored and made safe, as promised to the community – that means filling the hole. It does not mean leaving dangerous spoil tips in place and doing the bare minimum. This is a matter of public safety and environmental justice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Mae hyn yn newyddion pryderus. Mae ynni niwclear yn ddrud ac nid oes storfa ddiogel ar gyfer y gwastraff. Ac mae SMRs yn dechnoleg heb ei phrofi. Mae angen swyddi ond rhaid iddynt ddod o fuddsoddiad mewn ynni adnewyddadwy. www.bbc.co.uk/cymrufyw/ert...

Cadarnhad y bydd pwerdy niwclear newydd yn cael ei adeiladu ym Môn

Mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi cadarnhau y bydd pwerdy niwclear o fath newydd yn cael ei adeiladu ar Ynys Môn.

This decision to build a small nuclear power station at Wylfa is deeply concerning. SMRs are unproven technology. Nuclear is expensive and there is no safe storage for the waste. Jobs are vitally needed but they must come from investment in renewables. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Wylfa nuclear power plant plans go ahead, creating Anglesey jobs

Three small modular reactors are confirmed for the site, with the potential for up to eight.

Diolch to everyone who came to our roundtable "Ensuring a healthy environment" and to Delyth Jewell MS for sponsoring it. It was inspiring to hear from impacted communities and to share insights into how to make the Environment Bill strong enough to protect people and nature.

Our investigation identified over 45000 potentially contaminated land sites in Wales but almost none are being inspected. Councils need to have the funding and resources to identify, assess, and remediate contaminated sites. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

At least 45,000 sites in Wales could be contaminated with toxic waste, study says

Campaigners say only 82 sites have been fully examined and classified as contaminated, so scale of threat not known
