As ancient ways of coexistence parted
The journey of a malevolent virus started
It is our never-ending growth spiral
That made it so easy for it to go viral
It is now that we can hack
An economic system out of whack
To stay grounded and get back on track

Nikki Hailey in Israel scribbling "FINISH THEM"on the shells that the IDF is about to fire into Rafah in defiance of the International Court of Justice. Biden provided the shells, Republicans autograph them. The US political class is united in its complicity with this genocide.

Hans Bruyninckx, ex EEA chief, was strong @ #EEB24 conf. "If we do not set the right resource use targets in this capitalist system, we will not get there". Also spoke out against a Flemish party leader who said that protecting nature kills the economy. "Show me the study"

Minister @alainmaron on the strategic agenda for the coming new European Commission: "pure ignorance towards the environment".

We stand in solidarity with all who have lost loved ones and who fear for their safety and survival in Gaza and Israel. As Rafah braces for an offensive, we urgently call for an immediate and lasting ceasefire, along with safe access for humanitarian aid.

The #BeyondGrowth Conference in May was huge, but not an end point. Listening now in European Parliament to the ways we can embed #PostGrowth in European institutions. Among other things, this is the opposite of the "Fiscal talibanism" practiced in Germany https://t.co/8JhEr3udga

Van klimaat-kwakzalverij komt mijnbouw-mania en daar is al teveel van, zowel in Dubai als in Brussel. Toch zijn er #MeerDanGenoeg alternatieven. Mijn stuk in @Knack legt verbanden die ik mis in het debat.

This week, along with @beuc, @EPHA_EU and @Act4AnimalsEU, we shone a spotlight on the @EU_Commission.

Why? It's not delivered key #EUFarm2Fork promises made to Europeans.

We can't eat broken promises!🤥
