  • I mean, yes this is cool … but they need to be getting at the root causes.

    “Environmentalism without class struggle is just gardening.” —Chico Mendes.

    Idk much about the specific situation other than quick wiki read, but sounds like poaching and deforestation are the main culprits. Yes this is an important step, but conservation needs to include protection of their habitat if this is going to be sustainable and not just a project to keep pandolins in zoos. Fuck the charismatic megafauna approach… stop destroying the habitats. Relieve economic pressure on citizens to help prevent poaching, and invest in strong systems of accountability and prevention.



  • 🫰🏻🫰🏻Yes! We don’t need to all eat the same things everywhere. I don’t need avocados shipped in from Chile. Local foods is a great way to increase efficiency as well, there is less loss from transportation. But it does mean that you can’t eat the same things everywhere you go. If we want to live in a sustainable way, there are big policy changes that need to happen, but those policy changes would lead to changes in our everyday lifestyle. The party’s over, we see the results happening right before our eyes and being able to eat the same McDonald’s cheeseburger in every country is not worth the cost of mass extinction.
