  • England to ban the sale of plastic straws, drink stirrers and cotton buds. A small step in the right direction, but it is a start. Massive congratulations to @surfersagainstsewage for all the work that have put in. Now where is the Welsh Labour Government in this? In 2011 the Welsh Environment Minister Jane Davidson introduced the 5p carrier bag charge and Wales led the way in UK environmental policies. Now they trail the Westminster Government, the focus shifted from
  • Spring is back in the mountains. A great walk through some of the less grazed areas of Snowdonia, lower sheep numbers leaving space for a wealth of biodiversity. #nationalparksmatter #snowdonia
  • There is at least one artificial barrier every 1.5 km of stream in Great Britain. Only 3.3% of the total river network of Great Britain is fully connected. Only 1% of the rivers in England, Scotland and Wales are free of artificial barriers. Existing barrier databases underestimate stream fragmentation by at least 68%. . Our remaining rivers are too important for biodiversity, communities and the carbon cycle to be given over for the generation of electricity. . . https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.04.125 @patagonia @patagoniamanchester @patagoniaeurope @nrsweb @freeriversfund @theriverstrust @radicalrider_ltd #freeflowingrivers #thedamtruth
  • As Spring kicks into gear, some rain has left everything looking green, lush and leafy. #NationalParksMatter #snowdonia #ogwen
  • Down in the big smoke today. An evening presenting @patagonia 's Blue Heart film alongside @theriverstrust to @greenpeaceuk Shoreditch. We will be talking about how hydro can't play a role in a sustainable journey to carbon #netzero . @patagoniamanchester @patagoniaeurope @nrsweb @radicalrider_ltd @freeriversfund #thedamtruth
  • Been feeling more like a snowboarder than a kayaker recently. But a few laps of my favourite river and all is back as it should be. @nrsweb @patagoniaeurope @patagonia @patagoniamanchester @freeriversfund @radicalrider_ltd #kayaking #snowdonianationalpark #nationalparksmatter
  • Friday #climatechange protest at La Defense Paris. Public pressure is mounting on governments to act, but is it enough? What part should protest play in our actions? Systemic change is needed but is pushing for perfection preventing us taking the action we can now? #environmentfirst #extinctionrebellion #voteforsnow @patagoniamanchester @patagonia @patagoniaeurope @nrsweb @freeriversfund @radicalrider_ltd
  • Last night Tom joined the @trashfreetrails Spring Tour at @oneplanetadventure Llandegla for some trail cleaning. In just a couple of hours the volume of litter collected was mind blowing. Dog 💩 in bags all over the first trail out of the car park, @lucozadesport bottles discarded all over the skills area and beyond, and more @redbull cans at the top of the first climb than could be comprehended! Events like this are great, and bring like minded people together, but they don't fight the causes of litter. We must all call out the jerks who consider ditching a bag of 💩 acceptable, and the brands behind the worst of the trash. Clearly @redbull gives you enough energy to stash your empty cans under a bush, but not enough to put it in your bag. We've all seen @redbull athletes knocking back a can of the stuff, let's see the next clip where they crush the can and stash it in their bag/boat before sending the drop... @trashfreetrails @pedalmtbltd
