Take 5 minutes to help our planet 🌍⬇️
I returned from potfest to find ripe rasberries in the garden and my cucumbers and tomatos starting to romp rampantly! All this rain the last few weeks has made everything green and lush, a good sign as it really starting to droop in the weirdly hot weeks before.
As ever, these twists and turns in weather remind me what an unstable planet we are currently living on. The UK had its hottest recorded may day this year and it was our warmest spring. Our three warmest springs have been 2024, 2025 and 2026. Hotter countries are suffering more. Parts of India has been struggling with daily temperatures over 45 degrees which is well on its way to unlivable. This is not just weather. This is climate change.
It's now predicted that a powerful el nino is on it's way. This typically leads to even hotter and drier weather in the Global South, although it can have knock on effects on rainfall too, and on temperature elsewhere.
▶️ I'm sure most of you know all this already, and I'm not trying to bring you down. It's often hard to know what to do about it. But here's a little poke to write to your MP or representative and ask them what they are doing about climate change.
As individuals we have a responsibility to do what we can but really it's changes to legislation, on a local, national and international level that will make the most difference.
If you are in the UK, you can write to and find your MP at www.theyworkforyou.co.uk. Even if your MP doesnt reply, just by showing you care about the issue, you can affect how policy is formed.
It doesnt need to be a long email, just a "Hi, I'm worried about climate change, what are you and your party doing about it" is a great start.
Thank you! X
