Ta da! Our autumn programme is ready for launch.

Brilliant piece by Michelle Bastian: "what if popular framings of long-termism ... misdirect us toward concepts of time that ... fail to engage with [what] really matters, ... what kind of temporal framework would challenge the inequalities and injustices that extractive capitalism rests upon?"

If you can stomach the rage, this is a very good read. www.theguardian.com/sustainable-...

Really enjoyed this book from Adrienne Buller at www.common-wealth.org: "...green capitalism has been allowed to functin as 'the adult in the room,' to the detrimental exclusion of alternative perspectives on how best to confront ecological crisis." manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526162632/

I'm back on my wildlife bullshit. You already knew that nonhuman animals have cultures, right? "Like in humans, animal culture includes behaviors, traditions and knowledge shared between individuals, and it gets passed down through generations." www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth... #ethology
