Obsession with #growth is destroying nature…BRUSSELS — More than 150 countries including China, India and European Union members have signed off on a report that warns focusing on unchecked economic growth is contributing to the destruction of global biodiversity. "Unsustainable economic activity and a focus on growth as measured by the gross domestic product, has been a driver of the decline of biodiversity ... and stands in the way of transformative change," warns a report by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) published Monday. #nature #biodiversity #capitalism #environment #ecosystem

I liked these #GarryOak #trees with lots of #daffodils - up on a grassy/mossy hill. Spotted/shot through a chainlink fence.

I am reading "The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins" by Anna Tsing which I discovered in an English bookstore nearby. Matsutake and truffles are both among the world's most expensive fungi, but they differ in habitat, flavor, and culinary use. While truffles are considered the "diamonds of the kitchen" in European cuisine for their deep and delicious aroma, matsutake are revered in Japan for their highly distinct, intense flavor and aroma often described as a mix of spicy cinnamon and pine.

#Funghi take over the role of recycling companies in nature. They recycle the waste products of living beings and turn them into valuable resources for other biological life forms. Those recycling machines seem to form the foundation of the #ecosystem - and they should form the foundation of a sustainable post-capitalist #economy as well.
