Stay tuned for many threads to unpack the ABC of communication and change.

Let us deviate from black and white outlook at media bias and the internet's role in truth construction. With nobility and strength, we can aspire to sketch a moving forward road map 🕊 But, first we have to ignite honest discourses.

We support communities in the north that are fighting waste and toxic dumps in their backyard. We also fight against waste colonialism by corporations and governments who use the south as a landfill. The best waste is the one we don't create. Ecodesign is an option.

[The ABC of ComDev @abc_comdev]

What is environmental racism? What is waste colonialism? Check our last article: https://t.co/1XvdRfQLoA

Is it enough to just do 'anything' for the cause you feel for? Or can we make decisions backed by research do 'more' good? Our colleague Ebba is exploring these questions further in her latest post: https://t.co/ggv5PRUdHH

[The ABC of ComDev @abc_comdev]

See our latest post where Ebba tries to answer the question 'Is doing ‘something’ better than doing nothing?', all about making informed decisions and the effective altruism philosophy. https://t.co/4NhVYdIG4W
