Healthier planet, healthier patients, and cost savings…without forcing anyone to do anything.

I used to be obsessed with the graffiti from the 1968 protests in France.

I've been thinking of the one that went, "You will die of comfort" a lot lately.

A weed is just a plant where it’s not wanted.

It’s not a revolution, but every little bit helps.

In Chicago, all city buildings now use 100 percent clean power Chicago is one of several U.S. cities that are taking advantage of their bulk-buying power to spur new carbon-free energy development and meet climate…

Chicago has officially switched all its city buildings to 100% renewable energy! It takes about 700,000 megawatt hours of electricity each year to power the city’s 400+ municipal buildings, and this is now all coming from renewable sources.

Thanks @canarymedia.com for this amazing news!

How regenerative agriculture can foster peacebuilding in conflict areas Evidence of regenerative production as an intentional vehicle for peacebuilding in conflict contexts is scant, but early indications suggest it might at least begin to meet that tall order.

I can’t thank you enough for making this. What a fantastic teaching tool!

As Corey Robin points out in The Reactionary Mind, conservatism is essentially built on the idea that there is a natural and righteous hierarchy, and that preserving it has moral value. So you’re right. And in their worldview, it’s not hypocrisy, it’s justice.

Check on your solarpunk friends. A bunch of them just heard the phrase “mushroom bio-battery” and then immediately passed out

And, of course, there's practically universal agreement that wealth will save you from climate catastrophe, by decoupling you from your planetary context.

That's certainly proving to be largely untrue in LA.

I don’t think most people understand that putting off major lifestyle changes to mitigate/adapt to climate change does is simply procrastination that will make their lives harder when they are forced to make that transition all at once later.

“If you were a trapeze artist, and you couldn’t have a professional net under you, would you rather go on with nothing underneath, or some kids holding bedsheets over half the floor? The show must go on.”

Hedgerows (if you use plants appropriate for your area) can serve many purposes and sequester carbon. If you were going to buy a fence, consider a hedgerow. #agroforestry #climate #sustainability #gardening

Wow. I’m really sorry. Meeting people realistically where they are is central to environmental justice. If something like that ever happens again, ask how often they fly.

There is a program to create Blue Belts around Staten Island, including natural wetlands, to protect against storm surge. It’s a start. #statenisland #climate #nyc #wetlands
