Over 100 mature and semi-mature trees are being destroyed to make room for access and parking around the Silvertown tunnel site at North Greenwich. Every month, XR Greenwich has been hosting a discussion group called Climate Breakdown Shakedown, to give us a moment to drill into 1 topic relating to the climate emergency. In May 2018, Irish people voted by a majority to remove restrictions on abortion from the constitution. It's not too late to register for this Cancel the #Silvertowntunnel webinar tomorrow Today we commemorate the Ogoni 9 who were hung and executed 25 years ago today in their struggle for justice. @Shell 25 years ago 9 Ogoni activists from the Niger delta were murdered by the state after being framed for a crime they did not commit. Key witnesses have admitted that they were bribed by Shell, who these brave activists were challenging over the damage and destruction they were wreaking in Ogoni lands in their search for oil. 25 years later the Ogoni people are still suffering and dying due to their poisoned and polluted lands, and there has been no justice for the murdered men or their grieving families. #ShellGuilty Yesterday XR activists joined the amazing, passionate and dedicated tree protesters who fight day on day to protect our woodlands from the corporate greed of HS2. All gates to the colne valley tunnelling site were blocked from the crack of dawn until close of play with the beautiful beacons (& tripods) of truth. HS2 is costing roughly £3.5k PER TAXPAYER to get to London a little faster at a time when home working is taking over. It’s wreaking devastation on biodiversity and contaminating the source of 22% of London’s drinking water. Is this where you would want your money to go at a time of crisis? #stophs2 #treesnottrains #h2onoths2 #ouramazon #stopecocide #rebelforlife @hs2rebellion @stophs2 Green spaces and vegetation in local communities are good for residents’ mental health, community cohesion and help to reduce pollution. XR Greenwich are working with @friendsofwoolwichcommon and @david.l.gardner to create a green oasis on herbert rd in Plumstead.
