Brilliant news! Ecuador votes against #extractivism #extractivismo

"Ecuador’s rejection of oil extraction in the Amazon ‘gives us all hope’ - Global Justice Now Global Justice Now"

https://www.globaljustice.org.uk/news/ecuadors-rejection-of-oil-extraction-in-the-amazon-gives-us-all-hope/

but we have the opportunity to significantly challenge industries of devastation.

Now is a time to come together and say loud and clear: Yes to Yasuni, Yes to protecting our lives and ways of life. Saying Yes is an explicit "no" to #extractivism and destructive companies. I want to make this call to all Ecuadorians, to people across the world, to support us and uplift our struggles that we carry out from our #territories.

Indigenous relationality or a world of mere stuff?

Justice, culture, and relationships: Australian Indigenous prescription for planetary health - Matthews et al

"In Australia, the oldest surviving cultures have adapted their ecological knowledge over millennia and across climatic ages. However, European colonization has severely curtailed Indigenous peoples’ ability to adjust to climate change."

"Colonization, capitalism, and climate change all reflect the continued dominance of Western individualistic (“egocentric”) philosophies that place humans above and separate from their environment, commodifying and exploiting the environment for power and profits. By contrast, the collectivistic (“ecocentric”) Indigenous cultures focus on deep, holistic connections to the environment in which valuable knowledge systems have developed from careful custodianship through which ecosystems flourished over millennia."

Silicon Valley has just one service they sell, available to the highest bidder: exploitation.

It might look like a phone, a laptop, a social network, or even a car but it’s always just the same thing, decorated differently: a mechanism by which to addict you, extract value from you, and exploit you for profit.

As a civil servant in #Argentina, I'm obliged by law to take a course on eco-development, what we call sustainable development in the countries of the North.
Let's just say that Argentina is not very advanced in this area, as all countries are.
In France, I had the equivalent of an MBA on the subject. It's just that it's not called an MBA ("éco-conseiller", specialised master's degree) because, you know, you won't become rich and famous after this degree...
Fundamentally, Argentina and what Latin America has generated in terms of educative content since 1972 in this field is amazing.
I think that without self-training, I'd be the equivalent of Cro Magnon because the concept has evolved so much here.

Groundwater depletion around the globe. Spikes indicate severe depletion. Mostly for agriculture and drinking water. Unsustainable. Even changing the Earth's tilt via sea level rise.

"Dodds ... said there was a long history in #Wales of its raw resources being taken for use in England while local people experienced no benefit, with the drowning of Capel Celyn being one of the most notable examples. “These latest plans ... risk repeating the mistakes of the past,” Dodds said."

Speaking of things that seem awfully familiar...

The unveiling that governs modern technology is a provocation by which nature is required to deliver an #energy that can be extracted and accumulated as such.

according to #Heidegger, in his lecture "The Question of Technique".
