Bristol Airport has applied for planning permission to increase its annual passenger numbers to 15 million,  an increase of 28%.  This will mean over 1000 extra night lights, over 4 million more people travelling to the airport on their already congested roads, and a huge increase in pollution.   They also intend to enlarge their runway and install landing lights on Felton Common, which is an anci...

The UK Government plans to remove the right to trial by jury for thousands of criminal cases. Juries protect us from unfair prosecutions, biased judges, political interference and state overreach. Juries prevent power being centralised within corporations, institutions and those with privilege. Juries have been a key part of our justice system for centuries. Juries are a vital constitutional check...

Raw sewage is being dumped into our seas, lakes and rivers on an industrial scale – almost a million times last year alone. While people get sick and nature suffers, polluters profit and the regulators turn a blind eye. The system isn’t just broken, it’s rigged. Listen to how protesters are putting pressure on government and water companies, and how they are getting results.    Find out more at: h...

For centuries, many people in the Western world believed the Amazon to be an unpopulated and untouched forest. This has never been true. The Amazon has been managed by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years.  We explore how, through the creation of fertile soils and the selection and cultivation of plant and tree species over millennia, Indigenous peoples have transformed the Amazon rainforest...

British military leaders and security services, MI5 & MI6, tell us: Climate change is now a core national security threat.  This is not a future problem or a trade-off. Addressing climate change is central to national security today, not something to postpone.

As heat, drought, floods and fires increasingly affect global breadbaskets, we’re being called to rethink how food is made. The good news? We have powerful solutions. Precision fermentation — think high-tech brewing — can produce abundant, affordable, animal-free dairy, eggs and meat, with high quality and low cost. It might sound impossible — but listen in and come away surprised, inspired and ho...

Top scientists warn the UK faces a climate–nature crisis more serious than COVID — worsened by misinformation and weak politics — but the government won't lead decisive action that can still change everything. We voted for a Green Council in Bristol, but their draft Local Plan would allow developers to build on almost any green space.  There is still time to persuade them to change it.
