@flexghost My previous post should in no way be interpreted to excuse the carnage's perps because they're 'broken people. What this reveals to me is the shitty leadership in Israel, how that shitty RIGHTWING leadership has oppressed and destroyed Palestine, and the inevitability of choosing a terror group to lead them as a result.
Any society that values profit and property over people's wellbeing is doomed to fail. An Economic system that requires infinite growth on a planet with finite resources can not work.
Did you know that 5.8 million tonnes of textiles are thrown away every year, nearly 11 kilos per person?
We endorse the European Commission’s proposal to make producers responsible for the full lifecycle of textile products and to support the sustainable management of textile waste across the EU.
The fees collected will help boost reuse & repair sectors, so let's make sustainable fashion trends the new norm! 👗
It is hard to keep up with all the #greenwashing actions at the moment. Here is the latest Australian one - 'In an Australian first, Australian Parents for Climate Action (AP4CA) has filed a claim in the Federal Court of Australia against EnergyAustralia for misleading over 400,000 consumers about the climate impact of its products.
AP4CA alleges that EnergyAustralia is misleading customers by marketing its Go Neutral product as “carbon neutral” and having “a positive impact on the environment” when it is primarily generated by burning fossil fuels, which the company claims to have “offset” simply by buying carbon credits.' #auslaw#auspol#sustainability

Despite having fully functioning hardware, an expired Chromebook will no longer receive the software updates it needs, blocking basic websites and applications from use…

With #wildfire conditions worsened by #climatechange, this terrible haze likely won’t be the last we’ll have to choke on in #NYC this year. Goes to show it’s one very small, connected planet. There’s no good escape for anyone, only change to our reckess #economics and #unsustainable consumerist lifestyle that must happen sooner, not later.
Industrial civilization has created a world where entire forests are destroyed and transported around the world on ships to be consumed or used in power stations as "green" energy. The system is completely unsustainable.
