Those who seek to impose their will on others through military might and genocide, like Putin and Trump, are also those who will kill off whole ecosystems for profit.

The connection is direct and uncoincidental.

Every Last Fish by Rose George is an incredible journey into commercial fishing, its devastating impacts, & the traditional fishing communities fighting to survive. A whole ecosystem under threat that most of us barely think about!

When Randal Plunkett inherited his ancestral estate of Dunsany Castle he chose a different path and stepped away from farming to let nature rewild the estate. His new book Wild Thing is a memoir of risk, hope, sustainability, and discovery.

Rats have a terrible reputation, but they are intelligent adept survivors, and their history is inextricably entangled with our own. @joeshute.bsky.social's Stowaway explores this history and unpicks the myths surrounding this fascinating tiny mammal 🐀 💙 📚

Ooh, that could be interesting!

The book's not out here yet, but I'll give it a read once it is.

Do you think your strategies & observations would translate well for a UK audience or is it very US-focused?

This looks great, and looks like it'll have advice for citizens to initiate change, not just strategy aimed at planners - it's definitely going on our sustainable cities reading list!

“Changing transportation is more a power struggle than logic problem. While advocates may be right, we often lose because we're not politically strong enough to get decision-makers to back our solutions. Time and again, experiences have affirmed that being right is one thing and winning is another.”
