The Great Olympic lie: untold story of Winter Games’ huge environmental impact Rivers drained dry to create artificial snow, a forest cut down for the bobsleigh track – IOC’s claims to prioritise sustainability at Milano Cortina exposed

As athletes return home, maybe we should take stock; At what price is this worth it?
Fake snow, drained reservoirs and destroyed ancient woodland were just some of the costs of Olympic gold.

Evict Trump's troops from Scotland Evict Trump's troops from Scotland -

Stand up to Trump! ✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This Wednesday, we’re debating a motion to evict US forces from Prestwick and ban them from publicly-owned airports like Wick.

Scotland’s infrastructure shouldn’t be a staging ground for Trump's agenda.

Another poll showing the @scottishgreens.org on track for a record result. That Reform figure is absolutely rank though.

Every seat we gain is one less potential Reform gain.

Join the Scottish Greens Join the Scottish Greens today and be part of our growing movement. Why should I join?  We are always told that the system is broken, but it’s not. It’s rigged. It's rigged in favour of corporations, ...

Despite our motion to boycott Israel and numerous questions to the government, the SNP have failed to act.

It's time to demand better.

Why does a nurse in Perth pay a higher tax rate on their shift than a multi-millionaire does on their stock portfolio? 🏥💸
In Scotland, work is taxed more than wealth.
It’s time to fair up.
We’re calling for a Wealth Tax to fund our schools & climate action.

Tell your MP: our democracy shouldn’t be a gamble! Our democracy shouldn’t be a gamble. First Past the Post fails 70% of voters. We urgently need to scrap it. I’ve asked my MP to attend a crucial briefing on how to do just that. Join me 👉

This May’s elections are expected to bring chaos because our voting system is broken.

I’ve written to my MP to push for fairer elections before it’s too late. It takes 2 minutes to do the same here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Some fascinating reading: buff.ly/BydKgdf
"... found that nearly 2 in 5 (38%) people in Scotland are feeling politically disaffected ..." is a very sad state of affairs!
The good news is that we have the power to chance this in May!

Nursery 'postcode lottery' influencing C-section dates, says Perth mum facing £3,000 extra in childcare Caitlin Ripley's son Ali turns three in April but won't be entitled to free early learning and childcare until August.

Early education shouldn't be a postcode lottery. 🛑

Current rules in Perth & Kinross mean some children wait months longer for funded nursery places than others. We need a fairer system that supports all families and gives every child an equal start. 🌍💚
