Tir Pontypridd is securing land for community use by building a paying membership.
Over the centuries land has been taken from communities by those with power and money. Around half of the land in the UK is owned by 1% of the population.
This has huge ramifications in terms of access to food and nature, financial inequality, sustainable energy and affordable housing.

Articles like this aren't aiding our understanding of what we need to change. They're guilt tripping individual's for the decisions they've made. Something which XR is against. And divert us away from the real issues, keeping us bickering, rather than focused. This isn't 'telling the truth', its being selective, it's abusive. Which is why we need people's assemblies to reach decisions about the best way to tackle the climate and social justice crises collectively.

Day after tomorrow style extreme weather conditions hiting the US? Or over hyped click bait? Is America finding out just how extreme climatic feedback loops can be... Gaia Theory in effect? Or an average American winter?
"Nearly 2,000 flights... canceled" (Forbes).
And we thought it was cold last week. Imagine the highly plausible scenario where the North Atlantic drift no longer warms our shores, and the annual Christmas forecast includes 'Cyclone bombs'... https://weather.com/storms/winter/video/1222-pm-elliott-main
It was Robert Harts 'the Forest Garden' that captured my imagination and opened my eyes to the possibilities of creating edible landscapes for biodiversity. And Patrick Whitefields 'how to create a forest garden' helped shape our approach to creating our own garden in Pontypridd. For very little input of time or fertility, it provides.
The video isn't of our garden, but is a great example of what can be achieved 😁

Ramp up the pressure on #RishiSunak to reject this climate wrecking new #coal mine, sign the petition https://act.350.org/sign/uk-government-no-new-coal
The government has just approved the UK’s first deep coal mine in 30 years – this project will increase global emissions and undermine the UK’s chances of meeting its climate targets. We have to fight this. Can you ramp up pressure on Rishi Sunak to cancel this climate wrecking new coal mine by signing the petition?
The problem with the 'small boats problem' is that it's not a small boats problem.
Its a lack of safe and legal routes to travel to the UK to claim asylum, problem.
It's a policy problem. An inequality, environmental and successive economic and foreign policies problem.
It's a lack of humnity and compassion problem.
And until these policies change, the small boats will keep coming.
You can play King Canute and issue commands all you like.

THOUSANDS of Albanians will be sent home in months and illegal migrants will all be processed abroad under a major new crackdown on small boats announced today. This afternoon a defiant Rishi Sunak…
Today is the anniversary of Yellow Wednesday
"...the day the bulldozers came up to Twyford Down where we were camped in the route of the road. We were devastated. But it was the catalyst for many more direct action protests against roadbuilding and the symbolic start of a new cycle of environmental action that continues on now".
