Ultimately, each small pro-environmental action likely makes no difference (directly) AND all the difference in the world (indirectly)

What would you draw if asked to imagine an economy that works for everyone?

@donmacca tested this with 10K+ people worldwide, who consistently drew:

⭕️ Circles
♾ Infinity symbols
🌀 Spirals
❤️ Hearts

Never linear growth charts. We know what a just economy looks like

"The climate crisis is not, in fact, a mystery or a riddle we haven’t yet solved due to insufficiently robust data sets. We know what it would take, but it’s not a quick fix – it’s a paradigm shift." @NaomiAKlein

@Michael_Kwet And As Michael's book takes pains to add, today we can add ecocide to the list.

Martin Luther King, Jr's words in @Michael_Kwet's Digital Degrowth:

“When machines & computers, profit motives & property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”

The biggest barrier to sustainable, post-growth business isn't resistance.

It's that professionals assume their views are divisive when they're actually part of the 86% majority.

Here's what my research collaboration with @DarioKrps11, Fred Basso and @LSE_PBS reveals:

[Jeni Miles @_jeniwren]

@DarioKrps11 @LSE_PBS @KateRaworth The problem isn't convincing business professionals that a new paradigm is needed.

The conviction already exists.

It's helping them realise they're not alone.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.

He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.

It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

Carbon capture wasn’t invented to fight climate change.

It was built by Big Oil... to get more oil from dying wells. 🛢️

Not a climate solution. A fossil fuel booster.

@thejustinwelsh The #DiewithZero 📕 recommends just that, frontloading experiences in your younger 'golden years' as you'll get more value from money in your prime.

@adamcoelho's podcast also has some great episodes on balancing FIRE with intentional living, it doesn't have to be either/or

[Russell Warfield @russellwarfield]

why would Just Stop Oil do this? don’t they see how much this inconveniences working people and just turns everyone off their cause?

Thread on the potential impact of the @TheGreenParty gains this week. Especially in @leamgreens.

Back in 2019, Warwick District Council declared a climate emergency and then made a bold cross-party proposal - to increase the council tax of the wealthiest by £1 / week. 1/7
