Your cheap chicken from the supermarket costs more than you think
🚨 Meet Big Chicken - a powerful industrial system producing more than 1 BILLION chickens in the UK every year. Together, those birds generate an estimated 3.5M tonnes of 💩 a year – and often our rivers are left to deal with the consequences.. 1/2. riveractionuk.com/news/factory...
Shell have done nothing to produce this increase in profits, effectively its all war profiteering.
Shell’s [war] profits more than doubled to $10bn in Q2 - "Shell takes the profits, and the rest of us pick up the catastrophic bill” says Greenpeace #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Barclays Bank is Europe's biggest funder of fossil fuels. Pushing climate change, El nino, crop failures, hunger as profit opportunity, urging investors to speculate on price of food, fertilizer, commodities. Prices and food bills will rise. Profiting from destruction that banks financed.

@labourlewis.bsky.social please stress to Andy Burnham that this is a disastrous idea which will do nothing to reduce our bills but will reduce the opinion of everyone who cares about the climate of him.

Changing diets is a win-win for the climate and health, to say nothing of curbing animal abuse. Why do all governments run a mile from any suggestion that they address such a fundamental problem?
Healthier, more sustainable diets worldwide would reshape global agriculture. A new @nature.com study shows the scale of the transformation. Bold policy action could maximise the benefits while supporting those affected by the transition, the authors conclude: www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

Today's Tour de France stage ends at Le Lioran, at the top of the Cantal Volcano, Europe's larges stratovolcano. Two years ago, we made this clip there, our favorite :) How volcanism led to the invention of the bicycle! @vanhinsbergen.bsky.social @uugeo.bsky.social

Can't believe that @sainsburys.bsky.social allow the use of paraquat in their supply chain. A deadly poison that the UK banned over 20 years ago. On our food! #SainsburysBanParaquat
