I wasn't active here past few months, but recent migration of folks I like such as @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social got me back here. I hope this space remains sane and fun.

Thankful to publish this new op-ed by Indigenous economist Rebecca Adamson today for @mongabay.bsky.social
I booked her on our podcast earlier this year & wanted to hear more
She shares how traditional ecological knowledge, diverse perspectives, and innovative finance can truly conserve nature:
Wife (biologist; 70yr ) and husband (engineer, 80yr) turn their Delhi house into a self-sustaining hydroponic based food secure, air purifiying, cool system. They are urban farmers who are living their passion! They take online classes too. What a story!

Fantastic story by Priti David on how the fates of tigers, adivasis and river are intertwined at Panna in Madhya Pradesh producing sustainability for none!

Worth a read for sure.
We have a working group in CSSN.org focused on the net zero myth and other greenwashing. The only thing this piece misses for me is an accounting of the network of actors advancing net zero claims based on DAC and CCS, and how they sold everyone that myth. A bedtime story.
I love that multiple research papers on urban pollinators suggest this is an issue where small actions make a big difference for little animals. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
“Oil and chemical companies who created a high-profile alliance to end plastic pollution have produced 1,000 times more new plastic in five years than the waste they diverted from the environment”
