The climate and ecological crisis is rapidly escalating. G7 spends fantasy amounts on fossil fuels as CO2 emissions are forecast for 2nd biggest annual rise ever. This calls for steak-and-lobster-BBQ-celebration while jet planes perform aerobatics in the sky above the G7 resort!

Swiss voters rejecting key climate change measures proposed by politicians is one of the more disappointing developments in recent times. Unfortunately, at this stage, self-inflicted pain is necessary to avoid a climate catastrophe. #climatecrisis #actnow bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…

#CSR statement on Amazon resds “We are committed to and invested in sustainability because it’s a win all around—it’s good for the planet, for business, for our customers and for our community.” ITV News has called #bullshit on that. #greenwashing #ClimateCrisis #Sustainability

”A leaked document showed more than 124,000 items marked as 'destroy' in just a week.” This is just ONE warehouse. If you have a system where this possible - and even profitable - that’s a clear sign that something is fundamentally wrong.

We need solidarity to tackle the #climatecrisis This is one reason we’re failing. The 25 richest billionaires in America added $401bn to their net worths between 2014 and 2018 and paid about 3% of that amount in taxes. #actnow #fridaysforfuture theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

More and more of the world will soon be too hot for humans! Is that not the most terrifying headline? Yet we do so little to stop it from happening. What is wrong with humankind? #climatecrisis #fridaysforfuture #biodiversity theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

In 1989 Margaret Thatcher (then prime minister of the UK) said “It’s no good squabbling over who is responsible (for causing the #ClimateCrisis ) or who should pay. We shall only succeed in dealing with the problems through a vast international, co-operative effort." 22yrs wasted

The unfortunate reality is we are as much the cause of the problem as we need to be the drivers of the solution. Fewer (or at least not more) humans is the best long solution to our planet’s problems. #biodiversity #climatecrisis #fridaysforfuture #actnow theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Good to see ⁦Korindo Group⁩ (palm oil giant) stripped of its ⁦Forest Stewardship Council⁩ #sustainability cert but it took a ⁦BBC⁩ investigation to uncover their lies. How many bad companies have such certs? #biodiversity #climatecrisis #actnow #boycott bbc.co.uk/news/world-asi…

Fining a women’s sports team for wearing what look like cycling shorts instead of bikini bottoms! How out of touch can an organisation like the ⁦European Handball Federation⁩ be? Following procedures is a lame excuse! #diversity #women #sexualequality the42.ie/5500414

Billionaires like ⁦Jeff Bezos⁩ tick off their bucket lists at enormous expense to the environment while wildfires & floods cost ordinary people their lives, homes & sanity. Nothing short of sickening. #climatecrisis #fridaysforfuture #amazon #actnow rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

We’re in #progresstrap Decades ago fossil fuels improved lives compared to alternative energy sources. Now their use is actively destroying lives and livelihoods. #climatecrisis #climateemergency #actnow #fridaysforfuture theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

At a meeting on Monday a woman emphasised to me how important sustainability was to her. I later saw her pull out of the carpark in one of these. Can anyone who drives a high powered car or big SUV be taken seriously in #sustainability terms? #FridaysForFuture #ClimateEmergency

This article about aviation the challenges of reducing aviation pollution sums up the problems facing the world perfectly. Nearly everyone knows what’s needed but very few are willing to make the necessary changes. #climatecrisis #fridaysforfuture #actnow theguardian.com/environment/20…

So many eco warriors can be seen driving brand new cars, using the latest phones and wearing fancy new clothes. Eco friendly means more than just buying organic mushrooms! #climatechange #actnow #fridaysforfuture theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

‘Green growth’ doesn’t exist – less of everything is the only way to avert catastrophe That’s about the truth of it. The party must end. It’s time to tidy up. #actnow #fridaysforfuture #climatechange theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
