who can #rewild acres of land, but it makes more of a difference than you may realize. You may just be creating a place where a #pollinating insect flying by can get some nectar, or lay her eggs. Moreover, by planting #NativeSpecies you're showing your neighbors these plants can be just as beautiful as non-native ornamentals, and they may follow suit.

In a time when #HabitatLoss is the single biggest cause

Ahead of Another Summer of Climate Disasters, Let’s Talk about Real Solutions

"#Capitalism has no future on this planet. We will need a far-reaching revolution to address this crisis."

#CrimeThinc, May 8, 2024

"The mainstream climate movement begins from a premise that guarantees failure. Not just failure. Catastrophe. And the more effective it is, the more harm it will cause.

Let’s explore why.

#ClimateReductionism

"When people think of environmentalism these days, they are likely to picture civil disobedience in the streets, media activism, enthusiastic lobbying, and conferences aiming to set global goals for carbon emissions—all under the leadership of non-governmental organizations, academics, and progressive politicians. Ecological struggle, however, has always also included anti-capitalist and anti-colonial currents, and these currents have been getting stronger, more dynamic, and better connected over the past couple decades.

T"hat growth, however, has not been without setbacks, often caused by intense targeted repression that leaves movements exhausted and traumatized, like the #GreenScare that began in 2005 and the repression of #StandingRock and other #Indigenous-led #AntiPipeline movements a decade later.

"Systematically, at precisely the moments when radical currents are licking their wounds, the predominantly white, middle-class vision of environmentalism takes the stage and pushes the entire conversation in reformist directions.

"The actual crisis we are facing is a complex ecological crisis, in which police killings, repressive laws, ongoing histories of #colonialism and #WhiteSupremacy, #HabitatLoss,#LandGrabs, food cultures, human health, #urbanism, borders, and wars are all entangled. The leadership of the environmental movement has made the strategic decision to reduce all of this to a question of climate—the climate crisis—and to recenter the state as the protagonist, as our potential savior. This means centering the #ParisAgreement and the #COP summits as the solution to the problem, and using performative #activism and #CivilDisobedience to demand policy shifts and investment in support of green energy."

While I think it's important to care about other people even when their suffering doesn't directly affect us, it's actually not uncommon that such things do directly us.

In particular, climate change is a direct threat to everyone worldwide. It is not an equal threat, but how many of us have noticed the intensifying weather and natural disasters in our region? I certainly have, and I live in the US, which is not one of the most intensely affected regions. Plenty of people here have still died from this threat.

War and genocide is an enormous contributor to climate change. The truth of the matter is there is simply no way to carpet bomb an entire populace in an environmentally friendly way, no way to level entire cities without making a mockery of any care for our world.

This is what support for the Israeli military, for the US military, means, since this is the kind of widespread destruction they routinely engage in.

So while there are plenty of reasons to support Palestine even if someone doesn't care about the environment at all, a person cannot care about the environment and not support Palestine (or other indigenous struggles). The thing is, this assertion is not about indigenous people inherently being environmentalists, it's about the colonialism and imperialism against those people being inherently environmentally destructive.

Wild lions have disappeared from 90% of their historical habitat in Africa. A study mapped the current and potential distribution of lions across the continent and found that they only occupy 8% of their original range. The habitat loss is mainly due to human activities, such as agriculture, livestock, hunting, and development. #LionConservation #HabitatLoss #Africa africanews.com/2023/08/09/wild

This is Pascale Jones' portrait of Iris. Her gentle and contemplative expression reflects a sentient awareness. 34 years old in this photo, she resides at Pairi Daiza, a privately owned zoo in Belgium. She excels in the zoo's cognitive research program and is expert at using a computer touchscreen.

All three orangutan species are critically endangered.

My 2014 book "Goddess Liberated - feminine love & empowerment in a post-patriarchal world" is available to borrow and read for free from the Open Library (links below). I just discovered this today, quite by accident. You could also buy it on Amazon, but please don't - Bezos does not need one more cent. Please enjoy reading my book for free!
