Beautiful day - perfect for burning Britain's uplands. This is Middle Moss (i.e. deep peat?) on Moscar Moor, owned by David Manners, Duke of Rutland, right now. Air pollution is intense across the Hope Valley. All in a National Park. @MoorlandMonitor @GeorgeMonbiot @wildmoorsuk 
The Peak District is burning day after day so a few dozen people can shoot red grouse for sport. The Ladybower Reservoir is at an all-time low for mid-October, but three landowners are wrecking our water catchment. Plus, lots of carbon up in smoke. It can't go on. #BanTheBurn
I was with my friend @casparhenderson when he took this photograph on the side of the Manchester Road. It doesn't convey the scale of the scene, or its violence. It's ecocide, & thousands of us in the valleys, from Hebden Bridge to Sheffield, at risk of air pollution & flooding.
