Sustainability:
"...to respect all human beings and to respect the natural cycles and ecosystems that ensure the livability of the earth."
Love this definition.
The universal idea of treating others how you'd want to be treated yourself is how it starts.

@JKSteinberger @StuartBCapstick Had you seen my letter to my great-grandchildren, published on December 1st, on the eve of the 100k people climate march in Brussels? It’s here: https://t.co/XAsKInfFhN

[Janet R Moore @WeEntweet]

Just sad the Pacific Islands continue to encourage
tourist arrivals via the #flights and #cruises that contribute much of the global damage that'll make these storms increasingly worse.

So it's a #UKHeatwave.
But even more severe effects of #ClimateEmergency frequently felt elsewhere in the world.
Just leave out non-essential activities (like tourism?) until we have available ways to travel that no longer wreck the earth's climate.

[@MetOfficeCE @metofficece]

Our @metoffice forecasters have issued the first ever Red Extreme heat warning for unprecedented heat across parts of the UK on Monday and Tuesday.

Please take this warning seriously and take steps to keep you and those around you safe.

#heatwave

[Janet R Moore @WeEntweet]

By all means, use #nuclear.
But until #aviation's got itself a lot closer to being genuinely harmless to our climate, need to stop using it for non-essential activities like tourism.
Seems so obvious.

[Janet R Moore @WeEntweet]

@TRF_Stories @Michael_Shank @CarbnNtrlCities Yes, it matters.
And neither of those descriptions evokes an emotional response.
Just describe the awful effects on the lives of individuals, and the growing momentum of those experiences.

[Janet R Moore @WeEntweet]

Scientist @KHayhoe has said "continued global heating, beyond 1.5C above pre-industrial" means much of the planet becoming "unsuitable for #agriculture and effectively uninhabitable, causing extreme harm to human society in many places"
But planet-warming #travel still promoted.

Some good news. ‘Indigenous activists and lawyers who took on transnational corporations and their own governments to force climate action are among the 2022 winners of the world’s pre-eminent environmental award.’ #ClimateAction https://t.co/UWKs9cSbHu

[Janet R Moore @WeEntweet]

@guardian 'Climate wrecking' is not monopolized by the companies directly driving the extraction of fossil fuels.
Airlines, for instance... always ready to promote non-essential, fuel-burning travel.

[Janet R Moore @WeEntweet]

Need to suspend, right now, the avoidable activities (like non-essential travel, #tourism ) that are heating the earth - until we can do them harmlessly.
Totally support #WorldEnvironmentDay, but don't let this catch-all blur an obvious action that can't be delayed.

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

The science is clear & time is running out - we must go from harming our planet to healing it.

In the universe are billions of galaxies. In our galaxy are billions of planets.
But there is #OnlyOneEarth 🌍. Let’s all take care of it.

@waiterich Well actually, yes.
Apply this at every level of interaction.

Would be good to see any debate on immigration that included the simple humane-ness of building population with refugees, skilled or otherwise.

[Janet R Moore @WeEntweet]

As long as a "more regenerative #tourism system" increases the need for more flying ...the net effect will be to worsen the damage already done to earth's #climate.

[Russel Norman @RusselNorman]

The NZ Govt plans to meet two thirds of its emissions reduction target by buying offshore carbon offsets. We need to cut OUR emissions not buy dodgy carbon indulgences

[Janet R Moore @WeEntweet]

“Travel and #tourism connect and unite us…" ???
Hardly relevant as long as the travel relies on the climate-wrecking combustion that's already causing more (and more severe) droughts and storms worldwide.
The only #SustainableTourism is the kind that does *no* damage.

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

During the 1st ever @UN High-Level Debate on #SustainableTourism, Deputy chief @AminaJMohammed, @UN_PGA and @UNWTO head @pololikashvili underscored the importance of the #travel business for sustainable growth.

Planting trees rather than bioenergy crops sucks more CO2 from the air https://t.co/rG57FWC75I

[Janet R Moore @WeEntweet]

Food getting less affordable, but activities that cause #climate-changing #emissions still encouraged everywhere.
Why is aviation-dependent tourism (for example) still thought to be a good thing?
Economies ignore the obvious.

[WRI Climate @WRIClimate]

The ripple effect of the Ukraine crisis on global grocery bills is just a taste of what is to come as climate change disrupts the world’s agricultural areas.

As temperatures rise due to increasing #GHGEmissions, so too will the price of food. via @TIME: https://t.co/Aq1buyeVg7

[Janet R Moore @WeEntweet]

And in 2 or 3 generations and beyond... astonishment that world #governments also failed to directly urge citizens to avoid those elective activities that do most #climate damage?
Personal responsibility's a crucial part of mix.
And clean atmosphere trumps economy-priority.

[Yale Program on Climate Change Communication @YaleClimateComm]

Last week, more than 1,000 scientists in 25 countries took part in climate protests. Their aim was to call out world governments for failing to act on climate by cutting greenhouse gas emissions: https://t.co/1Ub4VQdcw1 via @grist #ScientistRebellion #scientistprotest

[Janet R Moore @WeEntweet]

Not enough action on #climate means more severe and more frequent storms.
More devastation. More pain. More death.
The solution (at every level of society) is just plain old treating people how you'd want to be treated yourself.

[SBS News @SBSNews]

More than 300 people have died after heavy rainfall near Durban in South Africa caused devastating floods, with some regions receiving over 300 mm of rain in a 24-hour period. https://t.co/WQITwXq3pL

Earth breakdown needs to be the top issue in every election, and we need #ClimateDisobedience to get there. Get in good trouble, for the sake of everything
