War is the biggest environmental crime on Earth. Every bomb dropped poisons the air, the soil, and the water. Cities burn, ecosystems collapse, and generations inherit landscapes filled with toxins, rubble, and trauma. War doesn’t only kill people. It destroys the living systems that sustain life itself. In a time of climate and ecological emergency, escalating conflict is a direct assault on the planet and on our shared future. Extinction Rebellion stands against war. Extinction Rebellion stands against ecocide. A livable world cannot be built on endless violence. Peace, justice, and ecological protection are inseparable.

"I really want to encourage more people from backgrounds like mine to get into a system that has always shut us out."
Hannah Spencer MP: plumber, plasterer, parliamentarian
The small, brave band of MPs who represent the trampled, not the tramplers, has a very welcome new member.
We should all ask ourselves why, in a supposed democracy, such representatives are so rare.

Greens win shows the old system is cracking 🎉
