#Modern #KleptocraticState inventing #ClimateChange for #WallStreet: "This is us fighting for our life... Sadly, the #state should be the one fighting for our #livelihoods, our #lives, but in Honduras, we're #criminalized and #condemned for #defending something that is ours being destroyed," said Juana Zúniga, community leader and life partner of José Abelino Cedillo, one of the #Guapinol8.

"To not fight is to be complicit in the #corruption," she said.

Community of Dragons is back this eve! 🐲 It's a way to mobilise funds & community support for local, regenerative businesses on land, food, art, bikes, production and more that emerged from Transition Town Totnes and the REconomy Project.

It's a friendly dragon's den style pitching event where local entrepreneurs can share their brilliant projects and anyone in the community can offer support, connections, investment and practical help. Hope it's a great event this evening!

Founder Jay Tompt told the story when explored how "Together We Can build sustainable livelihoods" https://youtu.be/chAvh4sIwZ8

Check out this open access book Enough by Mary Lawhon & Tyler McCreary. It gives hope for our uncertain & troubled times by making a case for a universal basic income & rethinking politics. By laying out ‘modest proposals’ it urges us to reimagine livelihoods & the economy for a post-scarcity & just world in which all people can live well & there's enough for all.

THE STRUGGLE FOR LIVELIHOOD, LIFESTYLE AND A HOME…
In a review of Catrina Davies' book, ‘Homesick: a woman's search for livelihood and a home’, I highlight parallels with the Australian experience.

Subtitled ‘Why I live in a shed”, Catrina’s is a partial-off-grid lifestyle in the coastal UK. The book ranges over off-grid living unconnected to the main utilities and to her struggle with the local council over living in her shed, what she calls “the obnoxious doctrine” of self-sufficiency, access to land, how she finds jobs including gardening, and surfing the cold UK seas.

Catrina’s is a book that remains relevant, both to the UK where an out of control cost of living crisis is forcing people out of their homes, and to the Australian situation where rents escalating to unreal altitudes and predatory landlords are having the same effect.

He book would interest anyone who follows or practices off-grid living, intentional communities, the struggle to find employment and how she combines these with trying to develop a lifestyle on the coast that includes time for catching a few swells.

#FortressConservation degrades #subsistence #waterprotectors livelihoods by creating #poverty: Shipibo leaders and their lawyers argue that authorities failed to follow legal protocols of consulting the community and instituted rules that restricted the #livelihoods of those within its borders, limiting #fishing, #farming, and #timber harvest to only what families can personally use, but not sell.

Our message to #MAGA #Republicans who are acting without concern for the lives and #livelihoods of the people they represent: stop playing dangerous #political games with the budget default crisis.

Let's consider #wildfires 🔥🔥🫒 , e.g. in the #Mediterranean.

Here is an interesting short film on this, from @LUCSUS_LU researchers Utku Kuran & @MineIslar:

Hi all, this is @LauraKmoch taking over. I’m looking forward to engaging with you in the coming days!

I’m a #livelihoods and #land systems researcher, interested in Morocco, Rwanda and Myanmar. I focus on smallholder farming landscapes: think🌴🌳on farms and forest frontiers.

Just been out to a friend's #CoffeeShop for a get together.... she, like many, many others, are very worried with their #indy #businesses as the #Electric & #GasBills exceed the #RentalCost. I know it's bandied about with #ShoppingLocal to the point of it becoming a cliche & I know everyone is being hit hard with these bills too yet please, please do try to support your local #independent shops where you're able too. Seriously sod the #HighStreetChains. I know some of the #IndyShops are more expensive, yet they are up against the big #conglomerates. If we don't support these people they are going to lose their #livelihoods. This is not a rehearsal, it is happening right now.
