During Cop26 I served as a judge for the International Tribunal on the Rights of Nature for a case on false solutions to climate change--geo-engineering, carbon capture & storage, carbon offsets.
We called for justice for future generations, for Nature.

Dear Theresa,
As a former Secretary of State for Environment you will know how sewage overflows damage rivers.
Please vote for the Duke of Wellington's amendment to the Environment Bill, 45B on Monday.
(Theresa Villiers @ChippingTories MP for Chipping Barnet)

YOU HAVE JUST 24 HOURS TO SAVE YOUR LOCAL RIVER.
Tomorrow Gov will vote to legalise the wholesale dumping of sewage into our rives.
Just as MPs were mislead over the cost of fixing sewage overflows, #SewageScandal environment groups have now also been mislead.
Just started!

Every MP with a river or beach in their constituency must vote for the entire Environment Bill next week.
Amendment 60 places a duty on water companies "to take all reasonable steps to ensure untreated sewage is not discharged from storm overflows"

This is why we wanted designation - to show the problem
From a few weeks ago @inkcapjournal. Interesting how quickly Kings College has capitulated.
Mention of #hampsteadheathponds campaign to stay #freefromcompulsorycharges

Latest feature from the great @inkcapjournal - King's College Cambridge lands itself in the centre of debate on protecting nature/permitting wildness. #WildSwimming, #exclusion, #disability, #littering, #WaterPollution: so many important topics touched.
