On 31 December 2019, millions of people welcomed in the brand new decade with fireworks. However, do you really know the cost of these bright, celebratory displays to our environment?

Today marks the launch of a new campaign from @thewildlifetrusts and @the_rhs encouraging gardeners across the UK to pledge a patch of garden or outdoor space specifically for butterflies and moths. To find out more and to make your pledge, click the link in my bio 🦋🐛 📷: Cinnabar moth (c) Vaughn Matthews #wildaboutbutterflies #butterfly #moth #caterpillar #wildlife #wildflower #conservation #campaign #WildAboutGardens #SecretGarden #GrowASecretGardenForButterflies #WildlifeWriter #FreelanceWriter

#NoFilter... The picture on the right was taken at midday on New Year's Eve, whereas the picture on the left was taken at midday on New Year's Day. This came after an hour's worth of fireworks, which were released at midnight to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. Upon explosion, fireworks release a cocktail of chemicals that (combined with a drastic drop in temperature) caused incredibly dense fog. To read more about fireworks and their environmental impact, click the link in my bio for my latest article 🎆

@rspb_love_nature's ground-breaking citizen science photography project launches today! It's inviting the public to join the Puffarazzi and send in their photos of puffins carrying fish in their brightly coloured bills, from colonies around the UK and Ireland. Click the link in my bio to find out about the project, why it's important and how you can get involved. 📸: Ben Andrew

Exciting news! My article, celebrating World Penguin Day, has gone live on @forcesnews. Did you know that there are five different species of penguin found on the Falkland Islands? To find out which ones live on this remote South Atlantic archipelago, be sure to click the link in my bio for the full article 🐧

I lost count of how many cute ducklings there were on the river this morning. Did you know that ducks can be found on every continent except Antarctica? There are just over 160 species of duck living on this planet and many of which don't actually quack. Instead they produce a variety of sounds, including grunts, whistles and even yodels. For more animal facts, be sure to follow my page.

Did you know that there are three different species of zebra? Wild plains zebra, mountain zebra and Grévy's zebra can only be found in Africa. Unsurprisingly, these stripey creatures are part of the same genus as horses and donkeys, sharing familiar features such as long muzzles to allow them to chomp on grass while looking out for predators and having a single large hoof on each foot, ideal for running at fast speeds. For more animal facts, be sure to follow my page and check out my website.

Today may be Easter Monday and you'll probably spend the day polishing off those tasty sweet treats, but did you know that today is also Earth Day? It began on 22 April 1970 when millions of Americans took to the streets to protest against the negative impact 150 years of industrial development had had on the environment and has since grown into a global event with over a billion people in 192 countries taking part. This year's theme is 'Protect Our Species'.

Happy Easter Sunday! Did you know that lambs are capable of walking just minutes after they've been born? You might not realise it but sheep are incredibly intelligent animals - they can recognise up to 50 different sheep faces, remembering them for as long as two years, and are able to communicate their emotions, build friendships and stick up for one another during fights.

This is so powerful and inspirational. It's easy to see why @gretathunberg was on Time's 100 list. Government's need to listen. The world needs to listen. #Repost @oceanheroeshq • • • • • • "I hope that its foundations are strong. I hope that our foundations are even stronger."⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 📣 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg is calling for the people to come together to save the planet as they did for the #NotreDame.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Watch the full @NowThisFuture video to hear her speech addressing the EU parliament yesterday. 📽️

This week, thousands of people have taken to the streets of London to protest against climate change and the government's lack of action to tackle the issue. Almost 700 people have been arrested in the capital since the protests began on 15 April for public disturbance offences (some people glued themselves to things such as trains). But what are your thoughts on their actions, and those taken by people in 33 other countries around the world? Do you think clogging streets and defacing public property is necessary to get their message across or do you think that enough is enough? Let me know your thoughts below.
