As the planet burns and the rich grow richer, the link between inequality and environmental destruction becomes undeniable.
The richest 1% are responsible for more emissions than 66% of the world’s population, polluting and plundering the planet for their own gain.
To save our planet, we must tackle the root causes of inequality.
There’s enough money for a green and fair world.
It’s just in the wrong pockets.

(Note that the richest 1% is basically everyone making over $140k in PPP terms; that’s a lot of people, many of whom have gotten used to things like regular traveling, sitting in traffic almost daily, large fridges and air conditioning. And leaf blowers and lawn mowers and way too large portions of meat. And whatever else the “bottom half” might have or need less of.) @greenpeace
