If you don't want or are unable to let all your grass grow for #nomowmay, you can leave a significant area uncut instead
And, you can still take the No Mow pledge. You can pledge to cut infrequently, not cut for a month or more, or not at all for the rest of the summer or until late Autumn, wherever you are in the world, below âŹď¸

This is old news that I missed from July 2022. The Queensland Labor government gave $2.7 million to a tourist attraction to build a Koala research facility, and instead they used it to build a fucking rollercoaster. Seriously you gave fucking Dreamworld, who killed patrons through wanton dereliction of duty, money for Environmental Research? What the absolute fuck. Labor hand in glove with thieves and environmental vandals again.

Paul Ehrlich.
Our rapacious need to consume has us in the midst of an #ExtinctionCrisis. We must collectively and individually be more thoughtful and proactive. We are rendering our own home uninhabitable:

Cop15 negotiators have left their homework to the last minute â can they scrape a pass?
This Intercept article is sobering, bleak, tragic, & vexing (to say the least). Itâs hard for me to see how we humans can survive without biodiversity â the natural community of which we are a part & upon which we dependâŚ
âThe dismal reality is that green energy will save not the complex web of life on Earth but the particular way of life of one domineering species.â

Long-awaited U.N. conference on #ExtinctionCrisis to begin this week
The much-delayed and anticipated conference comes three years after a U.N. report found that more than 1 million species are at risk of #extinction within the next few decades. Scientists are calling it the earth's #SixthMassExtinction â the first caused by humans.

"Full steam ahead" sounds so innocent. Steam. Our council is delighted to showcase economic growth. A diesel-guzzling, carbon-emitting, floating city will call in so that lots of people can disembark to buy loads of tut they don't need and consume excessive amounts of steak in our restaurants. They will take tours and leave feeling unlucky about not seeing a koala. Weird how that happens.

@Andy_Scollick it's taken forever to get climate change on the map, and many have had their backs turned. As you know, it's not even (yet) the most serious of the planetary boundary breaches. I think these two images capture the essence of the problem.

Many of the countries that contribute the least to climate change are affected the most or they are least able to afford to deal with it.
If only the heat and effects stayed with each country pro rata, they might feel it.
That's the problem with gases. They move.
