What a shambles.
A popular scheme that could’ve helped millions of draughty homes - gone.
Instead, jobs have been lost & we continue to pay over the odds to heat our homes.
The govt. must guarantee long term funding now to avoid further embarrassment.

When our communities have cycle paths and walking routes, we know our interests are begging heard, we know our health is being looked after.
Active transport, reducing pollution, increasing fitness and mental health.

Every year in the UK, around 40,000 people die prematurely due to air pollution. Young or old, we all need clean air to breathe. #LTNs are a great way to cut pollution and we hope @CamdenCouncil will continue to support these in 2021!

Retweeted by Greenpeace UK You wouldn’t ask a tobacco company for health advice. We shouldn’t be asking #FossilFuel companies for climate advice.
For too long, fossil fuel companies have influenced politicians & benefited from their decisions. Time to #EndPollutersPower!

Retweeted by Greenpeace UK A reduction in VAT for green goods and services would help turbo charge a green recovery.
It'd also help counter the broken promises on climate action that we've seen from the government - such as the recent scrapping of the Green Homes Grant scheme.

Retweeted by Greenpeace UK On the same day that France halts the expansion of an airport in Paris - for being incompatible with climate commitments - similar plans at Leeds Bradford Airport are given the thumbs up without a long-promised climate and aviation policy in sight.🤦♀️

I've been asked whether @Shell's new #NetZero plan is credible. Not at all IMO.
@bp's last year, though imperfect, was credible for simple reason that it committed to reduce oil & gas extraction. Shell instead relies on VAST use of forests to soak up its emissions
