@tofugolem @joe8Zeta7 On the website you will find info not only about boycotting #palmoil but other commodities too. We advocate for a #steadystate economy - which is an economic system that doesn't exceed planetary limits. We advocate to boycott #gold because #mining is killing #indigenous peoples in #Venezuela and #Brazil and sending species #extinct. If you want to do something - corporates only respect profit, so use your wallet as a weapon and #Boycott4Wildlife https://palmoildetectives.com/2021/12/07/here-are-13-reasons-why-you-should-boycottgold4yanomami/

@afouxenidis @environmentalecon

End destructive agricultural practices like #meat #palmoil #soy and make people have a plant-based diet

Give animals legal rights as sentient beings

Advocate for a #steadystate economic system that doesn't exceed planetary limits.

"#Research shows the environmental impacts of human civilisation have exceeded planetary limits. To avoid societal collapse and assist transition to an ecologically sustainable civilisation, we must transition to a #steadystate economy" ~

"Sustainable" means not consuming resources faster than they can be naturally replenished, and not producing wastes faster than they can be naturally dispersed and assimilated.

Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy

https://steadystate.org/

The mission of CASSE is to advance the steady state economy, with stabilized population and consumption, as a policy goal with widespread public support. We pursue this mission by:

educating citizens, organizations, and policy makers on the conflict between economic growth and (1) environmental protection, (2) ecological and economic sustainability, and (3) national security and international stability;
promoting the steady state economy as a desirable alternative to economic growth;
studying the means to establish a steady state economy.

Our Commitment

CASSE is an organization that explores economic growth in earnest, including its downsides. We refuse to ignore the costs of economic growth, and our position sets the record straight. We recognize the conflict between economic growth and various goals for society, and we stand up for rational macroeconomic policies. Continuous economic growth on a finite planet is wishful thinking. We confront the truth that there are limits to growth, and we examine other possibilities for managing our economic affairs.
Our Strategy

Conventional economists tend to overlook the principles of ecology when considering the effects of economic growth. These economists—along with politicians, business leaders, and the media—don’t see the big picture when it comes to growth. That’s where CASSE steps in. Our role is to help people understand that growth is causing more problems than it solves at this point in history. To promote the steady state economy as the sustainable alternative, CASSE engages volunteers around the world, from regional directors to collaborators on outreach. CASSE also works closely with economists and scientists to build a foundation of support for the transition to a steady state economy by helping professional societies adopt their own positions on economic growth. In addition, CASSE develops and distributes a variety of information resources on concepts related to the steady state economy.

In a #SteadyState economy, people would choose to consume materials responsibly, conserving, economising, and recycling where appropriate.

#SteadyState #Economics calls for everyone to demand a shift from a model of endless GDP growth towards a mildly fluctuating #economy existing in harmony with #animals #ecosystems

Provocative essay (not sure I 100% agree) that argues that the "megascale" aspect of traditional #SocialMedia is both ethically suspect and socially unsustainable. Intrigued by the parallels to #NoGrowth #sustainable #SteadyState economics. (Linking to this site since The Atlantic is behind a paywall.)
