I wrote about Degrowth for the CM. Basically I think that there is a certain kind of environmental thinking in the Mennonite community that overlaps with Degrowth ideology https://t.co/6NajQBoF9n

For all the teachers talking with students about violence in Palestine-Israel these days. I’ve taught Zinn’s People’s History for years. These resources emerge from that tradition! #teachers #conflict #curriculum #MiddleEast https://t.co/JZd3TFxFqV

HAPPENING NOW: 200 Mennonites in Harrisonburg, VA are singing hymns to call on their city officials to pass a ceasefire resolution. They delivered a petition signed by hundreds of Harrisonburg Mennonites who support a permanent ceasefire and a release of all hostages.

⚠️ UPDATE from #COP28 | The latest iteration of the #GlobalStocktake (#GST) text has been released.

It alarmingly represents a rollback on past commitments to phase out #FossilFuelSubsidies & doesn't commit to a much needed phase out of fossil fuels.

Here are the main issues👇

Lol imagine if Winnipeg introduced 30 kmh for most streets.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

We can't save a burning planet with a firehose of fossil fuels.

We must accelerate a just, equitable transition to renewables.

The science is clear: The 1.5°C warming limit is only possible if we ultimately stop burning fossil fuels.

Not reduce.
Not abate.
Phase out.

Geography, for Hebrideans .…

If you imagine a strip of coast the length of “the West Side” of the Isle of Lewis from Carloway up to the Port of Ness, between about 4 & 7 miles wide and with a population of about 2 million (double greater Glasgow) - then that’s the #Gaza Strip.
