> ..Canadian journalist #NaomiKlein..[uses] a famous phrase on crises by free-market economist #MiltonFriedman. When catastrophe hits..“the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around”.. [For] current and imminent crises—from climate change and biodiversity loss to hunger, poverty and disease— #agroecology is an idea that is “lying around”..

The phrase #CareAndRepair first moved me in a recent #NaomiKlein article. It reminded me of the #EdwardNorton movie #LeavesOfGrass . "Don't you want to repair the world?" Sad that we don't expect that anyone saying that will be taken seriously: you see it through the criminal's expression in the movie. #Reparations , #Reconciliation ... all these words should have weight, import: become almost sacred and not derides as "Letters from Santa Claus" like the #UN #UDHR

#CareAndRepair Today is a good day to start (or keep) thinking about how to fix (clean up or make harmleess) all the messes (catastrophes) our civilization has made so far. War being fought around #Chernobyl, War-time fire and explosions around the biggest Nuke Plant in #Europe (or the #Ukraine ?)... Even if we implement a system more sensible that one based on nation states, an #earthquake could cause nukes to irradiate large areas like in #Fukushima 3/11 .
