Forests only absorb about 10-15% of the CO2 in the atmosphere. If we magically restored that 1/3 of forests that we have cut down, and that magic happened tomorrow – forests would still only absorb about 20 – 25 percent of global CO2 emissions. #degrowth degrowthistheanswer.substack.com/p/deforestatio…

Sometimes events conspire that throw your whole preparation off and you have to roll with it. I was planning to write about how degrowth can save the forest and then this happened: Brazil fines rancher $50 million for destruction of rainforest. Boom. degrowthistheanswer.substack.com/p/make-defores…

For most of human history, there was no return on investment in destroying ourselves – and we didn’t do so. For the last 150 years of human history, there has been a very high return on investment in destroying ourselves – so we have done so. #degrowth degrowthistheanswer.substack.com/p/companies-wo…

People want a well-being economy but don’t realize that our obsession with growth is holding us back from getting one. Get the word out. degrowthistheanswer.substack.com/p/give-the-peo…

Nature has dominion over us. Humbly stepping back and bowing to Nature’s majesty, giving her back the reins is just the first step we should take. #degrowth substack.com/home/post/p-14…
