Less than a third of UK adults think that safety for children cycling is good.📉 This #CycleToSchoolWeek, Sustrans' Chris Bennett explains why dedicated investment in infrastructure, such as protected cycle paths & School Streets, is needed now 👇 @roadcc road.cc/content/blog/i…

Too many new housing developments are locking people into car dependency, thanks to a lack of local amenities and poor public transport links ❌ It's time we designed places that prioritise people, not cars 👉 sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/resea…

We have oceans of waste. Amazon’s plastic packaging waste alone could encircle the globe 500 times: buff.ly/39H6cqB. We need to do better. Use less, buy less, waste less. #Useless #WasteLess #BuyLess #ActOnClimate #climate

"We need the Government to start understanding and listening to us, that we want to live healthier, more active lifestyles" 💬 Lack of investment in #ActiveTravel will make it harder for millions of people across the country to safely walk, wheel and cycle everyday journeys. ❌

#ClimateAction is being undermined. There is a lack of ambition. A lack of trust. A lack of support. A lack of cooperation. And an abundance of problems around clarity and credibility. It’s time to wake up and step up.

School strike week 251. Today, I graduate from school, which means I’ll no longer be able to school strike for the climate. This is then the last school strike for me, so I guess I have to write something on this day. Thread🧵

Watch: This isn't really about staying below 1.5C anymore. The brutal truth is that goal has gone - and still they plan more oil and gas. To see my full #Newsnight interview click the link below. #Climatecrisis #climatebreakdown #ClimateActionNow youtube.com/watch?v=tXvPbd…

The evidence has never been clearer – we urgently need to #InvestInOurPlanet ⚠️ Yet the Government have decided to do the opposite, slashing investment in active travel in England to just 0.08% of the overall transport budget ❌ This #EarthDay join our demand for change 👇

Yesterday I was asked: “what are the 5 things you think everyone needs to know?” So, I thought I’d share them here too: 1. This chart from the IPCC 6th Assessment Synthesis report, released this week, shows just how far away we are from limiting warming to below 2C: (1/11)

The time to act is upon us, if everyone did what they could, we might just turn things around or at least prevent total catastrophe! ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/

Disabled Citizens' Inquiry sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/resea… walking and wheeling should be the most equitable mode of travel across the UK. Everyone should have the freedom to walk or wheel independently around their neighbourhood.

Choosing to walk and cycle more local journeys is better for the environment, good for mental and physical health, and can save money too. We're calling for investment in safe, accessible #ActiveTravel routes across the UK to make this choice possible for more people ✅
