If we “switched off” what *is not necessary* for peaceful and sustainable communities around the world
--and then re-directed even 70% of what we saved in time, energy, and money to what *is necessary*--
we would arrive in peaceful and sustainable communities
in less than 5 years

China has planted so many trees around the Taklamakan Desert that it's turned this 'biological void' into a carbon sink
Huge-scale ecological engineering around the edges of one of the world's largest and driest deserts has turned it into a carbon sink that absorbs more CO2 than it emits, research suggests.

Re “Better Communicating for Effective #ClimateAction”

There is momentum which comes from moving in the right direction.

To achieve higher levels of Honesty and Responsibility,
we need smaller habitats and less complex cultures.

As we are discovering,
“what is true” in super complex cultural landscapes can be “manufactured” without any connection whatsoever to facts, evidence--or our own common sense experiences.

Can we say “not conducive to
