You’ve all heard the story of Peter Parker, aka Spiderman. Even
The Hunger Games’ Peeta gets a fair amount of credit for a somewhat lacklustre main character. But no one’s talking about the real hero of the hour, Peat. In terms of protecting our planet, Peat’s doing everything he can. He’s busy capturing carbon in the soil, maintaining biodiversity, and reversing the effects of climate change left, right and centre. Who is this guy?
Well, Peat is partially decayed vegetation (no wonder he doesn’t get much attention). They might not sound like much, but peatlands are actually one of the most valuable ecosystems on Earth, vital for regulating water flows and soaking up 0.37 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide (CO?) every year.

On the community Facebook page Upton Parish Notice Board, members took to airing their frustrations and one member had spotted balloons in the pile. Von Drinkwater said: “Disgusting - what are people like.” Karl OJ Godsell said: “What’s the generation coming too.” Charley E Charley said: “Nitrous oxide can be fatal. I know a friend’s son who died on this it is no joke.”
Luci Woodward said: “Looks like whipped cream canisters - people use them to get high.” Cllr Shirley Dobbin, the deputy mayor of Upton-upon-Severn, said: “ These canisters are dangerous, and I urge anyone who finds them not to touch the canisters and report to the council so we can clear them away as quickly as possible.” A spokesman for the drug support charity Talk to Frank, said: “It is very dangerous to inhale nitrous oxide directly from the canister, and doing it in an enclosed space is also very dangerous.” Inhaling the gas, which is also used in a clinical setting for pain relief, can lead to death.
