🚨 Please help stop the expansion of Parley incinerator Only 15 objections have been submitted so far. Every single one matters Deadline: Sunday 26 July Eco Sustainable Solutions wants to increase waste burning from 60,000 to 105,000 tonnes a year for the next 40 years 1/7
LOVE AND RAGE - SAVE THE DATE 12th, 13th, 14th September - Extinction Rebellion returns to London 🔥💚 With a spirit of creative, nonviolent rebellion to disrupt and pressure the perpetrators of climate and ecological injustice 1/2
We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore‼️ As millions of us swelter in dangerously hot workplaces, schools, hospitals, public transport and homes, we discover the UK Government plans to spend £264 billion on carbon capture and storage by 2050. Yes, £264 BILLION‼️ 1/4
As the UK experiences yet another heatwave, it’s worth remembering that air conditioning isn’t the enemy, climate change is. Air conditioning can help protect older people, babies and those with health conditions.
Stop Jackdaw! The UK is already facing dangerous heatwaves. Hospitals are under pressure, schools are closing, people are at risk. Drilling for more gas will only make the climate crisis worse.
Why does the UK Marine Heatwave Matter? Our seas are overheating. The Met Office says they’re currently 2 degrees above normal, with some areas 4-5 degrees warmer than average. This is the 3rd & strongest marine heatwave this year & may reach the extreme category. 1/5
Katie Hopkins will be spreading hate and vitriol in Wimborne this evening. We have two questions: 1. Why is the Tivoli Theatre platforming her hateful views? 2. How does this fit with Wimborne’s status as “Town of Culture 2026” #HopeNotHate
“It could make our country uninhabitable” One of the sobering messages at Friday’s screening of The People’s Emergency Briefing in Wimborne The film brings together leading climate and nature experts to explain the risks we face and the practical solutions already available 1/3
Irony alert‼️Final day of Canford incinerator appeal moves online Why? Climate change induced heat Incineration is the dirtiest form of energy production. If built, Canford would emit CO2 and toxins 24/7 for 40 years beside Canford Heath, schools, homes #StopCanfordIncinerator
Glyphosate spraying in Blandford today⚠️ Dorset Council still sprays glyphosate on roads and pavements across the county. The protective suit says it all. Last year residents delivered hundreds of postcards to Council Leader Nick Ireland demanding an end to glyphosate use. #PesticideFreeTowns
People Power ✊ A year ago today BCP Council said NO to Canford incinerator. Hundreds of residents wrote, attended meetings, shared info & protested. Local communities can make a difference! The appeal is underway, but hope remains 💚🤞 #StopCanfordIncinerator
Dorset: Incinerator Central? 🤔 Parley wants to increase to 105,000 tonnes Add Portland (202,000) + Canford (260,000) = over HALF A MILLION tonnes If the future is less waste, more recycling, a circular economy - why? #StopCanfordIncinerator #StopParleyIncinerator #StopPortlandIncinerator
Canford incinerator isn’t a temporary solution. If MVV win the appeal, it would run 24/7 for 40 years. That’s four decades of waste burning, traffic, air pollution, CO2 and a 110m chimney on Canford Heath. What sort of Dorset do we want in 2066? #StopCanfordIncinerator
Planning Inspector Visits Site! Today local residents gathered outside the proposed Canford incinerator site during the Inspector’s visit. Seeing the location matters. This would mean 40 years of burning waste beside Canford Heath, close to homes, schools and businesses. #StopCanfordIncinerator
What happens at Beddington, can happen at Canford 😳 “Modern” incinerator + same regulations. Yet Beddington has caught fire, smouldered and seen 916 breaches of nitrogen oxide limits. NOx pollution is linked to asthma, heart and lung disease. 1/2 #StopCanfordIncinerator
Silent vigil, clear message. Canford incinerator will belch CO2 and pollutants 24/7 for 40 years on Canford Heath near homes, workplaces and schools. The future is reducing, reusing, repairing, recycling. Outside the Planning Appeal today. #StopCanfordIncinerator

Make your mind up, Earl of Shaftesbury! Dorset Right to Roam peacefully entered the Shaftesbury estate at Wimborne St Giles in solidarity with the #SaveLoughNeagh march. First they were welcomed, then they were seen off. Why? The Earl says he’s going to give the Lough back, but hasn’t. Why not?

🌍 Earth Day in Wimborne THANK YOU! We spoke to hundreds today. Most agreed North Sea drilling won’t cut bills or boost security. UK renewable energy is cheaper/cleaner. Great interest in our People’s Emergency Briefing! 26 June 7.30pm Allendale Community Centre FREE: buytickets.at/extinctionre...
🌍 Earth Day 22 April We’ll be Wimborne tomorrow sharing a simple message, a fairer, safer future is still within reach. Renewables are the cheapest power and cut pollution. New North Sea drilling won’t lower bills. Choose hope & action. Come and say hello. #Wimborne #EarthDay #StopRosebank
Has Nick Robinson of Radio 4’s Today programme a vested interest in Jackdaw, he’s very keen to promote it. Jackdaw will NOT lower energy bills or provide a more reliable supply, providing only 1-2% of UK gas demand. The winner would be Shell and the loser our climate. @stopcambo.bsky.social 🙏
