Seems pretty clear what we need to do:

Plant-based diet.
Limit air travel.
Use Public transport.
Evaluate Electric vehicles and use.
Consume what we have not what we want.
Grow resilience and prepare for climate-related emergencies.
Tax the rich. Support the poor.
Abandon capitalism
Grow community & relationship.
Be gentle.

Have I forgotten something?

Can someone explain to me how you justify charging 3 to 4 dollars per kilogram more for unpackaged, fruit and vegetables, than identical produce in plastic packaging?

#consumer #ClimateEmergency #recycling #climateChange #Australia #food

Cherry tomatoes without any packaging with a sign identifying them at $18 per kilogram
Baby cucumbers in plastic packaging with a sign identify them at $12 per kilogram
Baby cucumbers without any plastic packaging with a sign, identifying them at $16 per kilogram

#Australia take note 👇

Tldr; on paper the government can numerically narrative a positive #climateEmergency response for #COP28

But in reality, there is the reality.

Re-#introduction

I'm a retired #nurse, who has just woken up to the actual significance of the #climateEmergency.
Battling existential climate angst and guilt over total lack of response to date.
Looking to make connections with others experiencing similar feelings and those with evidence-based skin in the game.

Do any #australian readers have some advice on getting a #possum out of our garage?

Heve tried using spiky things and sealing every possible entrance I can think of. I have tried using eucalyptus oil and camphor to repel them, but no luck. And they are urinating all over my car every night.

Nasty.

Please boost if you have Aussie followers. Cheers.

“Australia also has obligations to ensure it respects the laws of armed conflict by not actively contributing to another country breaching the laws of war under the Geneva Conventions and its protocols.
This means if another country is involved in a conflict and is observed to be systematically breaching the laws of war, Australia cannot lawfully provide material support to them.”

Biden says Palestinians will not be forced out of Gaza and the West Bank.

Biden also said that the US would not permit the permanent besiegement of Gaza or any re-drawing of its borders.

Can someone please explain to me why and by whom the decision was made to host #COP28 in the UAE?

Serious question. This just does not make sense.

I don't want to be a prepper.
I don't want to build a bunker, and stockpile food, and dress like a sniper, and make being afraid a craft.

I want to build community
And simplify
And precious what I have
And live in each moment the way we should have lived before.

How will I choose to live, and love, and help all the other beings as our planet collapses?

After reading as much as I can on the science of #climateChange, this now seems to be the most important question I have ever wrestled with.

It is going to be bad.
It is going to be very bad.
In what ways big and small can I make bad = good?

Firstly the global North fucks up the planet…then it uses the fuckedupedness to politically manipulate the global south.

“The agreement will see 280 people per year given a "special mobility pathway" to "live, work and study" in Australia.
In return, Australia will have effective veto power over Tuvalu's security arrangements with any other country.”

I hate it when a really interesting account here on #Mastodon is obviously auto cross posting from #twitter #x and then not even monitoring or interacting from this platform.

I hate that.

I'm thinking of making a t-shirt with the following slogan:

tl;dr: ITS A FUCKING CLIMATE EMERGENCY

what do you think?

ABC #australia writes a long article on how toxic and dangerous #twitter has become.
Yet continues to give option to share on Twitter, without acknowledging #fediverse options.

The utter hypocrisy of the #Australia government warning us to expect a tough summer of bushfires whilst supporting the Beetaloo gas fracking project is a little bit fucked up.

Flying a flag upside down is a symbol that has been used by many countries to signify conditions of dire distress or extreme danger to life or property.
