Do not dare try to tell us that we can have more "economic growth" & sustainability.
That is the lie which sustains the status quo- Our world is built on a lie- have the #courage to call it out!
#lies
Do we live within the "natural law"?
...or do we attempt to crush it, allow the greedy among us to squeeze every last dollar out of it?
What will it be?
a long term "steady state"? or
short sighted "economic growth"?

In my view, any aspiring politician who says things like:
"I understand that the environment underpins our economy and its ability to deliver our standard of living and long-term economic security "
... is definitely worthy of a "Vote 1".

@andrewamonti@Satiristas Mate- do your research before you accuse me of laying on a couch... I guarantee I've done far more than you, decades of hard work.
Go off and suck your thumb and contemplate the end of the world somewhere quiet where you don't detract from my efforts.
While everyone obsesses over the #ClimateEmergency-
the Economic Growth machine is busy chopping down forests, damming #rivers, over-harvesting #oceans, toxifying #soil & #water, wiping out species,encouraging over-consumption/population
We cannot beat this 1 symptom at a time!
To maintain stability & sustainability:
1. Everything we do must be related to the number of us doing it.
2. The more of us doing it, the less for each.
Sorry folks- not my rule, nature's,
... she's the one who sets the boundaries.

There is no greater threat to this planet & our existence,
... than the idea of endless "economic growth" & the short-sighted ecocidal criminals who promote it.
The "Growth Consumption Paradox" (GCP):
That human mindset which believes we can sustain economic growth & save the planet, by each consuming less
.. recognised, perpetuated & preyed upon those who gain strong financial benefit from BAU

The whole system is so wrong- short sighted, wasteful, destructive, inequitable & so-clearly unsustainable...
So why is it so hard to get people to embark on the journey of system change (a qu. which has been puzzling me for decades).

We stand in solidarity with all those fighting against Bill Gates, the Gates Foundation, and the corporate, industrial agriculture lobby.

The importance of FOCUS:
Yes- we should concentrate ALL our energy on 1 issue.
But if we make that the #ClimateEmergency we miss all the other destruction sweeping the planet in the name of Economic Growth
So lets FOCUS on the root cause- & the solution

Building a relationship with the "land" & "country"-
let's all learn from traditional wisdom, regardless of race, religion, nationality or gender.
We all live on "country"- understand this, & we turn a very important corner.
