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.

Today's #BooksAndCoffee is brought to you by a little day trip to Shrewsbury. I'm drinking an oat latte at #IronAndFireCoffee and reading Moon of the Crusted Snow, a slow-paced First Nations apocalyptic tale by #WaubgeshigRice.

What are you drinking and reading?

The #VoiceToParliament "Referendum is more than whether we give due recognition with some weight to the special position of #FirstNationsPeople in our country, in the history of this continent. That's very important. But it's also asking us what sort of national leadership do we want? Do we want the sort of leadership that appeals to our better nature to our better angels? Or one that appeals to our fears and our prejudices?" ~ #PaulBongiorno, #7amPodcast (Friday 26 May, 2023) #auspol

What if we tax the sh*t out of the billionaires/oligarchs in America...and just use the proceeds to do #Reparations for the descendants of #Slavery and #firstnationspeople ? That could have a tremendous impact for the better, right?

I struggle to believe we're in 2022 and we still have politicians who think that giving the First Nations people of Australia a voice to parliament on matters that affect them is a bad thing. I'm absolutely dumfounded by it.
