Mining the seabed in the Arctic sounds crazy, but it’s exactly what the Norwegian government is planning to do.⁣ ⁣ The Arctic is warming 3-4 times faster than the rest of the world and now its core - the deep sea - is about to be exploited for the mining of minerals.⁣ ⁣ Mining the seabed, especially near hydrothermal vents, could cause irreversible damage and disrupt the entire ecosystem. The noise from the machines could also threaten dolphins and whales that live in the proposed mining area 😭🐬⁣ ⁣ It’s a crucial time to make some noise against these plans. You can take action against deep sea mining by signing this petition

TIME TO REASSESS TCC SPONSORSHIP AND FUNDING ALLOCATIONS With reported funding allocations as follows: • North Queensland Cowboys: $250,000. • Townsville Fire: $180,000 + $1 peppercorn lease. • V8 Super Cars: $1.8M + free promotion. • Townsville Enterprise: $330,000 + $1.8M in events. • Smart Precinct NQ: $60,000 + $1 peppercorn lease. • NQ Spark: $300,000 debt loan + $160,000 write off. Should the Townsville City Council reassess its funding priorities to shift support from professionally sponsored organisations, advocacy groups, and grant-funded companies towards local community charities and non-profit organisations? It took the state government to demonstrate to TCC the error in judgement council had made around funding cuts to community events like India Fest. By Premier Crisafulli appointing best event in Queensland to India Fest it demonstrates councils incapacity to make decisions in the publics interests. Time to put community first. Having spent time in office, the ‘free tickets and events’ councillors, council executives, and ‘self-appointed’ city leaders attend at ratepayer expense (THE PERKS) far outweighs the costs being cut by council for our local community organisations. It is also time to review ‘preferred contractors’ when a local community event is organised, often TCC appoints its own contractors, at inflated costs to event organisers; it is time to clean house and remove unnecessary funding allocations.

😡 Canada’s new Fisheries Minister wants to revive mass commercial seal slaughter and market their meat as a seafood delicacy. “We have a new product we must exploit. Making it a consumer product is a priority.” - Fisheries Minister Diane Lebouthillier This is despicable...unacceptable. We’ve worked so hard to save million of seals but today, we’re facing renewed threats. Add your name to make sure that Justin Trudeau and the Canadian Government understand that there will be international repercussions if the seal hunt is expanded. You can help end this unnecessary and horrific tradition once and for all. Add your voice to the petition >>> g.ifaw.org/petition-stop-seal-slaughter

There has been a lot of talk recently about banning Halal and Kosher. MPs have tried this before. Back in 2019, I and a group of MPs were calling for the end of the practice of 'Non-Stun Slaughter'. We pushed this and couldn't get the support from fellow MPs in parliament. Just as it won't go through today, without public pressure. Here is a petition link; https://www.parallelparliament.co.uk/petitions/700557/ban-non-stun-slaughter-in-the-uk?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwnPS-BhBxEiwAZjMF0h5H7kLomMafrO1ieX5KltGWKfwiJbX-WUroX-7QtMD7R88FQbPpoBoCV_QQAvD_BwE

🚨🚨DEVELOPING 🚨🚨 — Elon Musk and his “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) have seized access to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) contracts and payments system as they look to slash climate and environmental justice programs. This comes as his team has targeted environmental agencies with unprecedented layoffs and halt-work orders. Musk has threatened to terminate more than 1,100 employees at the EPA, and has put the ENTIRE Office of Environmental Justice on administrative leave. Without staff or budget to carry out their mission — and with Musk controlling the payments systems — environmental agencies will be prevented from enforcing our most fundamental environmental laws, including keeping communities safe from pollution and cleaning up after environmental disasters. Holding Elon Musk accountable will take ALL of us telling Congress to take back their power. Sign our petition to Congress today!
