Nature should not be a luxury. We all deserve a future where nature can thrive. The government must stop weakening nature protections and act faster to restore nature before it's too late.

We refuse to be priced out of court! Share this post to help spread awareness and to show the legal teams some support. 👏
Head to the link in our bio to tell the UK government to scrap the secret corporate courts that reward climate wreckers. ✊
We’re at the Supreme Court in London today to stand up for everyone’s right to take environmental cases to court without the fear of paying unaffordable legal bills. ✊ 🧵👇
“Cutting carbon emissions is vital to help avert the worst impacts of climate change, but it’s also our best opportunity to grow the economy, create jobs, deliver cheap homegrown energy and improve lives with warmer homes, better bus services and cleaner air." - Mike Childs, FoE.

“The numbers speak for themselves. At a time when our economy and jobs market are faltering, green industries are employing more than a million people in well-paid jobs while generating enormous economic benefits.” - Sandra Bell, Friends of the Earth. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
🚨 Stop secret corporate courts 🚨
The fossil fuel industry should never be able to stand in the way of a cleaner future. As long as ISDS courts exist, companies can threaten climate action everywhere. 🧵👇
