Our wetlands are amazing. They tackle climate change, protect wildlife, prevent flooding and help us to de-stress. I’ve pledged my support for the @WWTworldwide #WetlandsCan campaign, calling for 100,000 hectares of wetlands to be created in the UK. wwt.org.uk/wetlands-can/

How can you hold climate talks without including the most affected people? You can't!  As world leaders sit down at #COP26, activists from @FFFMAPA are sailing up there to send a simple message: #StopFailing. #MAPA RT if you agree

The Dutch have one of the lowest rates of childhood obesity in the EU. What could possibly be the cause? Is it a) chocolate sprinkles for breakfast? Or b) street design that lets kids walk, cycle and play independently (like we all used to do before traffic took over)? Hmmmm
