TWO years ago ⁦Zac Goldsmith⁩ tabled the swift brick amendment. THE AMENDMENT IS BACK! Here, Zac is quoting the now Minister’s words in support of his old amendment. EMAIL YOUR MP URGING THEM TO SAVE OUR SWIFTS! Thank you Zac Goldsmith for staying loyal to the birds🪶

@ZacGoldsmith Swift bricks are a good idea, it‘s no good having a law on this unless they are properly sited. When the fledglings go the nest can be full of bird mites and these will migrate to find a food source, our swift bricks had to be blocked up for this reason. Unintended consequences

@ZacGoldsmith This just simply isn’t accurate on several levels.

Hoy hace 7 años, abrió un nuevo capítulo de nuestra historia: inició la Cuarta Transformación. Algunas de las mejores mentes del país no lo percibieron. Su racismo, su clasismo, en suma, sus prejuicios y sus intereses les impidieron leer bien el momento. Lo mismo ocurrió en 1909-1910. Sólo unos cuantos miembros de la intelectualidad - - José Vasconcelos, Luis Cabrera, Martín Luis Guzmán - - se unieron a la Revolución.

@ZacGoldsmith The swift brick amendment’s return is a huge win for biodiversity! Zac Goldsmith’s leadership shines – let’s make sure MPs back this! 🪶

We want to live in a country where Swifts still soar, Skylarks still sing, rivers run clean, and communities thrive. Tomorrow, we take that vision to Westminster: to speak up for climate, nature and each other. Who's with us? Join the 9 July lobby: 👈💚

I was concerned when I read my Bristol South MP’s latest post on nature, housing and the proposed planning bill so I went through each point one by one and fact checked it. I simplified it into a table for those with short attention spans💚 All sources are linked at the end.🧵

Avoid watering grass in dry weather - sprinklers can use as much water in one hour as a family uses in 24 hours. To keep grass looking good, mow less often - long grass stays green, and is a cool refuge for wildlife. More water-saving tips: #summer #nature
