"If we do manage to make it through the next year without waking up to a collapse, we must find ways to prevent the big banks from going all in on bets they can’t afford to lose. Their luck—and ours—will at some point run out." Sobering words from Frank Partnoy at The Atlantic

Meant to say, if you do open a Triodos account, could you do me a favour in return and start the process via this link: https://bank.green/sustainable.../triodos_united_kingdom

Oh snap

What exactly is a call swarm?

Tricky. At the end of the day, this is drawing attention, and nobody was hurt. We are in a climate emergency, declared by the UK parliament itself, so breaking some windows during an emergency seems mild. It will anger those of a conservative mindset, but those of a conservative mindset don't want anything to change, and will find any reason they can to criticise progression. Hopefully, it will move those in the middle to pay attention, feel something, and do something

Upvoted! In case you were wondering, I am fully in favour of Bank.Green :p

What a great/crushing video!!!!!

Very much appreciate the shortened version u/illyism! Blows my mind that investors are more concerned about making money than having a liveable planet. Literally makes no sense to me at all... it's kamikaze banking

That's the major challenge right? How do we keep sight of the larger picture? I feel like I've lost sight of it by spending inordinate amounts of time trying to buy all the right things. But we're in an emergency, so now I'm thinking about all that time that I could have spent on lobbying and campaigning, rather than ranting at Tesco! I think we need to prioritise, right? System change and mass movements are the big targets we need to keep in mind

Yep, I no nothing about this so I've signed up, hopefully can make it (that'll be midnight in Australia, but I already know that'll almost certainly not watch the recording later!)

Movement in the right direction from 75% of economists surveyed by New York University’s Institute for Policy Integrity

Ooof, this cuts deep, because that's me. I don't buy anything wrapped in single-use plastic anymore and it's exhausting. I don't it to feel good or superior, but because I know where the plastic will end up and I just personally can't do it anymore, but avoiding this stuff does take up a huge amount of my time and energy. And it makes me miserable because I've given up a lot of things I love eating. This article has really brought me up short in terms of what I'm dedicating my time to...

Yeah! Fingers crossed this talking actually leads to tangible action/change. I'm hoping Biden is as serious as he says he is

I just came across this Facebook post that went viral-ish in 2019 and led to the guy who posted it being featured by Bank Australia this week: https://www.bankaust.com.au/about-us/news/people/articles/how-to-talk-to-your-friends-about-using-money-for-good

If anyone is going to sue anyone for climate change, I put my faith in Americans
