Sheril KirshenbaumIn the U.S., recent annual estimates of bird deaths due to:
Cats = 2.4 billion bird deaths
Collisions from building glass = 600 million bird deaths
Land wind turbines = <200,000 bird deaths
Some politicians claim wind turbines “kill all the birds.”
But… they’re not really worried about birds. Rather, they prefer we stick with oil & gas over renewable #energy.

Yoko's Asterisk 🏳️⚧Random thought: I increasingly don't think capitalism has much to do with making a profit, or maximizing value.
Over and over, we see priceless resources destroyed so that the bosses can feel powerful. I think that's the main goal of capitalism, actually: making bosses feel like big men. Profit is incidental.
Sarah“One million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years.” This formulation is one of the better ones that helps me conceptualize how much more a billion is than a million. Billionaires are horrifying!! No one should be a billionaire, ever.
