Bristol Airport Expansion
Recently, and in the face of opposition from every level of the local community from individuals through parish, county and regional councils, the Planning Inspectorate granted on appeal the expansion of Bristol Airport. This will enable tens of thousands more flights per year, including night flights, and ten thousands more car journeys per day. The…

Even little ol’ us…
Back in January I blogged about a decision I’d made. Well, you know how it goes, firmly of an opinion one day, and the next day you’re flipping and flopping like a badly aimed salmon… Here’s the original blog post. So last night all of us that were re-elected to the Parish Council (including a…

StopEcocide : Change the Law
I’ve just come back from a talk about ecocide that was kind of a memorial for Stroud-based eco-barrister, Polly Higgins, who recently passed after a very swift battle with an aggressive cancer.

Numbers were said to be around 600, although I suspect as ever this figure was gently massaged… nevertheless you can see how long the cortege was as it meandered through the town and up the hill… The scarf…

Achieving extinction
I was moved today, a couple of days after Earth Day, to read two news articles on the same news web site… They weren’t the main news story of the day. That was saved up for crisis talks about that most imaginary of substances, money, and the way in which those whose lives are bound…

Christmas lights…
Blessings of the Winter Solstice an’ all that… Why, though, is it that while we are remonstrated at daily to turn off, not to leave on standby, to reduce reuse recycle… the media are so enamoured of fools with pretty lights all over their homes? Again this evening the local news channel showed a whole…
