REMEMBER: THIS Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can DO this. I'm IN, are YOU?

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

”Scientists launch a new research center to study what they say is now a leading disease risk factor: corporations. “One in four deaths globally is due to exposures to chemicals, plastics and fossil fuels,” ”

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.” Desmond Tutu

Gorgeous, miraculous nature never fails to amaze those who are paying attention. The tricky part is that most people in modern society – & certainly most "leaders" – never notice. It's their loss, but ours too, for they'd burn up the world less if they cherished it.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

"I don't see this changing. We'll stick with the same economy until everything burns." – my teen Where is the proof he is wrong? 💔 There are small wins - beautiful efforts - but "leaders" remain delusional & in the big picture, the economy as we have it destroys the Web of Life for profits.

Ice is nature's most precise and reliable thermometer. And if you're one of those people who thinks a stable climate is a nice thing, what it's telling us ain't good.

Some important wisdom from: @timparrique.bsky.social @kateraworth.bsky.social @proftimjackson.bsky.social @jasonhickel.bsky.social Check out #wellbeingeconomy, #degrowth, #doughnuteconomics if you haven't yet. Technology alone won't save us. We need a new economic approach. #ClimateCrisis

I'm doing ethics training as a town committee volunteer. What not to do: bribes, nepotism, improper use of public position, using or disclosing confidential information, divided loyalties, financial interests in public contracts, conflicts of interest Huh. If only the U.S. executive branch agreed.

A major problem of our times is that few of our elected officials have ever walked through nature (a desert, the woods, the mountains, a field, whatever nature is close by) & felt humbled, in awe. If they had, we'd be in a far better place – for you protect what you love. #climatecrisis #overshoot

“All those things you learn in economics, in finance, are all made up by us … if this is all made up & it's not working, let's invent something that works better” In Ep 16, @adriennebuller.bsky.social & Hans Stegeman break down post-growth economics & “green” finance ⬇️ youtu.be/0H3tjdc3PyE?...

“We lost everything we had, but we’re really grateful to be alive. We would not have survived without the community – it’s people helping people, not the government,” said Little Brave. […] But I do feel anxious when it rains and the river rises – the land we’re on is still moving.”
