#COP27 becomes the most important COP yet because the chances of sticking to a 1.5c target are getting slimmer with every moment of inaction which means millions more people will be affected by #climatechange
#COP27 is happening right now in Egypt. We are already in a state of #ClimateEmergency. The #EnergyCrisis is another difficult issue which has caused some nations to revert back to using more coal.
Rishi Sunak is at #COP27 having found time in his busy schedule. Is he paying lip service or will he get behind this epoch-defining #COP ?
Should richer nations have to cough up the bill for all the pollution they have caused to people and planet? This will be a key part of #COP27 agenda, it was hard-fought to be included with many countries shying away from taking responsibility...
5. This is an emergency. Our house is on fire. Millions of people are suffering, dying, forced to flee homes, food insecurity, poverty. The latest #IPCC report says we must act now before millions more people are affected.

So why go plastic free? It’s better for our oceans (microfibres from clothes, microplastics from decomposing waste). It means less energy needed to create disposable plastic bottles and bags.

Rosalyn - "I've started taking my bottles to fill up in a shop called Bare + Fair. I have been buying washing detergent and dishwasher tablets from @smolrevolution for a long time now. So I don’t have too many bottles to refill!"
Here's what Declan, our content and social media wizard, had to say about one year of shopping #secondhand fashion... ♻️👕
Hey! 👋 Here's a thread 🧵 on the things I learnt about shopping only #preloved fashion for a year!
1. Patience is Key 🗝
I've always been curious about owning a pair of Doc Martens but I could never justify splashing out on a new pair. So I kept an eye on second hand pairs on eBay. There were loads to bid on but also loads of other bidders.
Either way I stuck to my guns and didn't go above £55. Long story short, I snapped up a pair for £50 plus postage. They were sold as having a small scuff on them. But when they arrived I could barely see the scuff and the shoes were otherwise nearly new. #drmartens
