Growth won’t solve the planetary crisis or the social crisis because these things are not profitable to capitalism.

Clear sighted analysis as always from @jasonhickel.bsky.social

Jason Hickel @jasonhickel.bsky.social · 23h

Meeting one of my heroes this weekend was a huge privilege. @carolinelucas.bsky.social has always spoke truth to power, standing up for what’s right and inspiring others, including me, to try to do the same - within whatever sphere of influence we have.

🤬 Conservatives pledge to scrap the world leading Climate Change Act.

😰 Nature is bearing the brunt of climate impact, leading to ecosystem breakdown.

🌱 Nature recovery is a solution to climate breakdown (alongside renewables of course).

❓What are they thinking?

Food and agriculture contribute one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions – second only to the burning of fossil fuels. Half of the earth’s habitable land is devoted to agriculture, and most (80%) is grazing pasture and cropland for animal feed.

Meat is a leading emissions source – but few outlets report on it, analysis finds

Sentient Media reveals less than 4% of climate news stories mention animal agriculture as source of carbon emissions

When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland.

Proud to have hosted the Welsh Government, Natural Resources Wales and Welsh Wildlife Trust today, to showcase our pioneering NBS work which is cutting pollution into the Solent, rewilding large areas for nature, compensating for coastal habitat loss, creating jobs. Nature really can be a solution.

Excellent idea for your next book Guy. Chalk downland is now such a rare habitats. Tragic. I hope you’re going to cover the devastation that was the M3 Twyford Down cutting? Our nature reserve severed into two. Come and see us - we’d love to contribute.
