Sunflowers can pull toxins and heavy metals out of the soil, remediating land that has been decimated by industry and capital.

Soil remediation isn't hard or necessarily expensive, but capitalism won't do it because there isn't much profit in in.

It dawned on me this morning, as I scrolled, that not everyone's time line may be as specific as mine is. Climate aware people will not be surprised at this🧵but those who have been ignoring it, denying it, or thinking it won't happen here, or soon.
It is.

Qué día tan triste el que ves tu ciudad, tu comunidad y gran parte de tu país en manos de negacionistas, antifeministas, racistas, destrozadores de la poca naturaleza que nos queda y, en muchos casos, gente sin ética alguna y empatía 0 con el no rico (que encima les vota) 😞

A shift to nutritious plant-based diets in high-income nations alone would reduce less-necessary production and land use, cutting dietary emissions by 61% and sequestering 98.3 Gt CO2eq, equal to 14 years of current global agricultural emissions. https://t.co/bMOMIrmlnk

Economist Ha-Joon Chang: "[Mainstream] economics has become like Catholic theology in medieval Europe. It has become the language of the rulers"

"They are not going to let you 'speak' it... unless you belong to the priesthood... or are from an extremely privileged background"

So far, 27 years of COP meetings have been a complete failure; you can't argue with physics. Anyone saying otherwise has fossil fuels or books to sell. #EmergencyMode

At some point we'll have to face the fact that politely asking the ruling class to stop climate destruction is not going to work.

The Degrowth Paradox: It's growing.

The last few years have seen immense...growth...in degrowth. It feels like degrowth is beginning to be significantly broached in culture, politics and economics, and certainly now more than ever.

Remember, when the fresh snow flies in your city, it reveals how much we’ve over-designed our streets for cars making them faster & more dangerous, and how much space we could reclaim for people & public life. We call them #sneckdowns. HT @fietsprofessor

Supermarkets under capitalism are exploitative and ecologically damaging, shaping what we produce as well as what we consume. In public hands, following a different logic, they could supply the creative core of a democratically planned socialist economy. https://t.co/ZvLvM21I90
