One of the hardest things about the world today is the co-existence of the worst and the best. Truly terrible things happen. Amazing ideas and connections and progress are being born. We fixate on the first, but both exist. They don't cancel each other out, they're uncomfortable side-by-side realities we have to work with to move forward.

Even more great climate activism news from Ecuador!

Along with the national referendum about whether to stop drilling for oil in Yasuni National Park, there was also a local referendum in Quito about whether to close gold and copper mines in the Choco Andino biosphere.

The referendum received 68% support and the mines will now be closed.

Go Ecuador!

Signs of collapse and signs of an ecological society emerging coexist right now, in my opinion. The news covers the scary parts, and we need to know, and not look away. But lets not miss the little shoots of a saner more connected ecological-social-economic system either. What's a hint of a life-sustaining society emerging you've seen of late?
I think it's safe to say that all those economists who said the costs of climate change weren't going to be high were staggeringly, dangerously, wrong.
It's the climate of the PLANET, FFS.
#ClimateDiary at my mother-in-laws making tea just now and really like her Tea Rations tea caddy and all the instructions on it. Fully struck again that maybe this is what we need, a full mode-switch to war like emergency - this kind of messaging from government, what we also had for #Covid. libertarians won’t like it but it’s not that hard and 70% of us do go along with what we are told
