My message in the face of the recent IPCC report? Whether we are driven by rage or by theory, by creativity or by education, whether we are doctors, activists, authors, musicians, lawyers or mothers, there is a role for everyone in the climate movement.
Basic IPCC formula, in order
1) build massive amounts of (now cheap) sun and wind
2) Electrify everything to run on it
3) Conservation and efficiency
4) Research the hell out of the last hard stuff (planes, cement, etc)
5) Stop cutting down trees for cows (or anything else)
Today is overshoot day for Sweden. If everyone lived like we do, the world would have already used up its annual resources today.
For the rest of the year we aren't just stealing the resources from future generations, but also from the present most affected people and areas.
Each year the amount of clothes discarded and ending up in landfills is staggering.
Wouldn't you love to be able to compost your old clothing and keep it out of the landfill?
