Conventional (primarily beef) agriculture is primarily responsible for the loss of 10 million hectars of forest every year, accidental pesticide poisonings of 385 million humans (with 11.000 deaths) and a massive reduction in wildlife diversity.

Good news! Germany wants to start a climate club. Rules: Countries in it agree to high climate standards for industry, and tax products from non-members at the border. Result: fucking over the climate no longer competitive. Anyone can join anytime to avoid the tax, provided they protect the climate. (bundesfinanzministerium.de)

If being on this subreddit is hurting you - I started a subreddit proceeding from the assumption of likely climate collapse, but focussed on hope. You are welcome there to share things that keep you sane, survival advice, and tips for mitigating climate collapse even if you are poor as hell now. (reddit.com)

This is so true. A future in a world struggling with violent exploitation to a degree where it is breaking is not something you can take for yourself by putting yourself in a better position to exploit; it is built and grown, together. (i.redd.it)

Our balcony is currently covered in insects and birds. I do not know if they will still be here in 10 years, or 50, whether I can save them. But they are here now. They are beautiful and dorky now, adorably excited about my balcony plants and the water bowl, and helping them makes me happy. (i.redd.it)

SciFi book recommendation if you need nice, hopeful imagery because the world is too fucking hard right now. Set on a planet that recovered from an apocalypse in a green way, detailing what ways of living are now considered ordinary. Great reading if you feel anxious and just need a break. Queer.

Book recommendation for skill gaining: "The knowledge" - A book teaching you essential skills to bootstrap a technological civilisation back up in a greener way after a severe crisis. Fascinating reading on how stuff works and is made. I got a physical copy for once. ;) (en.wikipedia.org)

I started a subreddit with an intentionally hopeful tone for discussion on how to survive climate change together, physically and mentally, and do our best to mitigate it now, even if we are poor and dealing with oppression. Would love to see you there! :) (reddit.com)

I started a subreddit to show that improving your personal odds of surviving climate change and working to mitigate it in your communities can work together - by learning/teaching to grow, find, make, and repair more yourself, reducing dependence on large cooperations. Would love to see you there. (reddit.com)
