Today has so far been sort of a lazy, under the weather loss but I'm feeling a little better at the moment so I'm going to see if I can do a small walk/hike.

It was nice though, I did read and finish "Is a River Alive?" by Robert Macfarlane which I loved loved loved and HIGHLY recommend.

UK government can never accept idea nature has rights, delegate tells UN https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/feb/22/uk-government-can-never-accept-idea-nature-has-rights-delegate-tells-un?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Well, maybe Mother Earth *should* be a legal entity in UK law!

They can’t think beyond a closed system economic model in which nature is an unbounded source of raw material and sink for our waste.

How the fuck do we get to sustainable living in harmony with nature unless we recognise nature’s inalienable needs in law?
