New mobile service fights Wildlife Armageddon - Image 1

A new mobile phone service called 聽has launched to reverse the massive decline in Britain鈥檚 insect numbers by buying farmland and giving it back to nature.

The country is currently in the midst of what experts like Chris Packham are calling an 鈥榚cological apocalypse.鈥� The country is reporting massive declines in many kinds of insects, with species of bees, butterflies, ladybirds and moths already facing extinction.

The decline is driven by several factors 鈥� the biggest being land for nature lost to intensive farming.聽Shockingly, Britain has lost over 95% of its flower-rich grassland in the last 100 years.

Ecotalk will tackle this alarming loss of land for wildlife by harnessing people鈥檚 mobile bill money for good 鈥� buying land that will then be given back to nature.聽Purchased land will be expertly 鈥榬ewilded鈥� creating new habits and homes for insects, tackling the country鈥檚 loss of wildlife and need for biodiversity head-on.聽

Ecotricity, the world鈥檚 first green energy company, is providing power from the wind and sun to match customer usage on Ecotalk 鈥� ensuring that all calls, texts and data on the network-side are carbon neutral.

Switching to Ecotalk is easy, and the service runs on the market-leading EE network, known for its best-in-class coverage and superfast 4G data speeds.聽Ecotalk customers will benefit from Ecotricity鈥檚 legendary customer service and 30-day sim-free rolling contracts 鈥� from just 拢7.50 per month.聽

Dale Vince, founder of Ecotalk said:聽鈥淔or years we鈥檝e all been a bit pre-occupied by the plight of the rainforests, ice caps and problems in other parts of the world. 皇冠体育app have been mostly oblivious to our very own wildlife apocalypse, right here in our own country 鈥� a near collapse of the ecosystems that make Britain a green and pleasant land.

鈥淚 feel like saying 鈥榥ever mind the rainforests鈥� 鈥� though I do mind, but we have a massive problem right here in our backyard.聽皇冠体育app鈥檝e launched Ecotalk to give people the chance to do something about this problem 鈥� we鈥檙e going to harness something as simple and ubiquitous as mobile phone use and with it reduce the loss of habitat for Britain鈥檚 creatures 鈥� great and small.

鈥淔arming is the biggest cause of habitat loss and wildlife decline, so it鈥檚 farmland that we need to give back, to make room for nature.聽Rather urgently. That鈥檚 our focus.鈥澛�

Later this year, Ecotalk will expand to include landline and home broadband services 鈥� and will follow the same principles as the mobile service.

Climate Clock

The Climate Clock is a version of the Doomsday clock that has been running since 1947 - this tracks the risk of global man-made disaster, through man made technology (like nuclear weapons) - displaying the minutes and seconds left before midnight, when disaster strikes. The climate crisis is a small part of the calculations made.The climate clock uses a similar approach, but, focuses only on the climate crisis - which is the biggest and most urgent existential threat we face."The Climate Clock is a countdown to the biggest man-made disaster we face - but also a measure by which we can track our progress - moving from fossil to renewable energy. It shows we have no time to lose - the clock is ticking鈥�" Dale Vince, OBE.
