"Scientists have also warned about the broader risk to the planet of giving big polluters a green light to continue pumping oil and gas based on purchases made from the existing unregulated market for credits"

“We are fooling ourselves when we purchase these offsets"

"There’s a common misconception that we are committed to decades or centuries more global warming from CO2 already in the atmosphere, no matter what we do now. Happily, current science says this is not true"

I remind myself that people are learning so much right now, and what people are learning matters both for right now, and the years to come. The pedagogy of organizing spaces, the conversations at direct actions, these are generating ways to be in relation beyond what currently feels available to us.

I walked through this installation, acknowledging the land, for the first time this week. It is an extraordinary feeling to walk in relation to these works, in this specific place. Inspiring and heartening.

Childhood researchers call for an end to the Western-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza

There is no moral justification whatsoever for continuing this brutality which will result in the debilitation, wounding and death of thousands more children.
