It is a great atmosphere and a nice way to contribute to a huge event whilst keeping the race as green as possible.
We will also get to cheer on the lovely Holly Brown who is running for the charity and to chat about green activities across Greenwich and Bromley.
Volunteers must be 18 or over.

How do you feel about Thames water and their treatment of our local water supplies? Is it acceptable that they allow sewage discharge and degradation of the infrastructure whilst paying shareholders dividends? If you see this before 5pm Friday 16th August you can let OFWAT know how you feel about them keeping their license.

Ofwat: fine thames and take its licence Ofwat does! It is consulting on plans to accept Thames Water’s proposals for a “turnaround plan” instead of fining them £250 MILLION for breaking the terms of their licence.

If you have street trees near you can give them a drink? Trees need around 10litres of water in hot weather (May to September) while they establish roots. If you can give them a soaking to help them through their first 2 years after planting far more will survive.
It will repay you by providing shade, lowering the temperature and cleaning the air.
Early morning and late evening are the best times but water will always be appreciated.
Let’s protect our street trees.

Aurora showing over Eaglesfield Park last night. Thanks to the local photographer who caught this shot. If anyone else has more images do share.
This effect is caused by particles from the sun interacting with the magnetic field around the earth. Alterations in our magnetic field may be one of the prettier side effects of climate change change.

Come and join a really informative session on what the Climate scorecards can tell us about how Greenwich Council is doing on their Carbon Neutral Plan. We will look at Biodiversity and Governance this time and discuss how to use what we learn. sign up here for a zoom link: https://actionnetwork.org/.../climate-emergency.../ Greenwich Climate Network Better Streets Greenwich Climate Action Lewisham Greener & Cleaner Greenwich Wildlife Network The Great Big Green Community

This was a lot of fun. Merlin bird Id app (recommend on Greener & Cleaner) helping me listen to the birds nd work out what they are when I can’t see them. Lovely bird song to start the day. We don’t actually have pheasant, whilst the app is pretty good the neighbours dog and my family singing apparently are a good match though.

Story in Nature Our annual Story in Nature competition, in partnership with The Week Junior Science+Nature, allows young people to express their love of trees and nature through writing. Whether you write a poem or a piece of prose, fiction or non-fiction, we want to know why nature is important to you. By telling....
