June 20, 2025 (Friends of the Earth (via LinkedIn)) –
Friends of the Earth, a prominent environmental organization, posted 10 LinkedIn updates from June 13 to June 20, 2025. The organization's posts covered a wide range of environmental issues, from sustainable living practices to climate change advocacy and policy recommendations. Let's explore the key themes and initiatives highlighted during this period.
Sustainable Living and Eco-Friendly Practices
Friends of the Earth emphasized practical ways for individuals to adopt more sustainable lifestyles. They shared a guide for creating an eco-friendly picnic basket, encouraging followers to enjoy summer activities while minimizing environmental impact. This initiative demonstrates the organization's commitment to making sustainability accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
The organization also promoted sustainable eating habits, highlighting the need to change food production methods and consumption patterns for the benefit of the planet, animal welfare, and human health. This approach underscores the interconnectedness of environmental issues with broader societal concerns.
In a creative approach to sustainability, Friends of the Earth shared recipes for fermenting foods at home. This initiative not only promotes healthier eating habits but also addresses food waste by encouraging the use of leftovers, demonstrating how environmental consciousness can be integrated into daily life.

Climate Change Advocacy and Policy Recommendations
A significant portion of Friends of the Earth's posts focused on climate change advocacy and policy recommendations. The organization highlighted the increasing likelihood of breaching the 1.5-degree Celsius warming threshold, emphasizing the urgent need for governments worldwide to take decisive action to limit global temperature rise. They stressed that every fraction of a degree matters, particularly for future generations and those least responsible for climate change.
Friends of the Earth also drew attention to the UK government's climate adaptation plan, which they criticized as "dangerously weak." The organization warned that the UK is unprepared for the impacts of climate change, including more frequent and severe heatwaves that already claim thousands of lives annually and disrupt various sectors of society.
In collaboration with Greenpeace UK, Friends of the Earth called for stronger taxes on major polluters to fund urgent climate action. This initiative aims to shift the financial burden of addressing climate change from those who pollute the least to the companies profiting from environmental damage.

Social Justice and Environmental Equity
Friends of the Earth emphasized the intersection of environmental issues with social justice concerns. They promoted a September event calling for systemic changes, including taxing the super-rich, protecting workers, and making polluters pay. This approach highlights the organization's belief that environmental solutions must address broader societal inequalities.
The organization also addressed the exploitation present in global supply chains, from forced labor in cobalt mining for electronics to land grabs and deforestation for palm oil production. Friends of the Earth, along with the Corporate Justice Coalition, delivered a petition to Downing Street calling for new laws to eliminate these practices, demonstrating their commitment to both environmental and human rights issues.
Recognizing the disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable populations, Friends of the Earth highlighted the particular challenges faced by older people during extreme weather events. They announced an event during London Climate Action Week to explore ways to center older voices in climate work, promoting intergenerational solidarity in the fight against climate change.
