The most powerful climate action isn’t a gadget. It’s humility.
Admit we don’t own the Earth—we belong to it.
Once you stop trying to dominate nature, you can start living with it.

Promising breakthrough creates plastics that self-deconstruct on cue: Study Plastics have a gigantic built-in problem: They’re tenacious, which is very good for a milk jug or a car bumper. But they don’t easily break down, which is bad for the environment. From the 1950s, whe...

'The problem is that a lot of the action we’ve taken fails to target the biggest drivers of nature loss. Instead it bites when we try to build: wind turbines, solar farms, or railways making
construction lengthier, more expensive or, in some cases impossible'

We can move beyond the capitalist model and save the climate – here are the first three steps | Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis Capitalism cares about our species’ prospects as much as a wolf cares about a lamb’s. But democratise our economy and a better world is within our grasp, say Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis

A world where the abolition of economic insecurity, precarity, poverty, unemployment and indignity is possible, while we lead meaningful lives within planetary boundaries. This is not a distant dream. It is a tangible prospect. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
