#Sufficiency: It’s a highly technical dispute. But it’s part of a larger conversation about how much #blackout #risk we consider acceptable in #modernsociety — and whether our #expectations should evolve in the name of preventing #climatecatastrophe- Sammy Roth

#kleptocracy: the ore that these #children are digging that has #cobalt in it often has traces of #radioactive #uranium. So, the #publichealth #catastrophe on top of the #humanrights #violence on top of the #environmental #destruction is unlike anything we’ve ever seen in the #moderncontext. And the fact that it is linked to #companies worth #trillions and that our lives depend on this #enormous #violence has to be dealt with.

#ObliviousConsumption: Another #solution to #homelessness, from the counties association, extolled by a media editorial, that comes back to funds = plans, goals and outcomes; which looks to silo #health #segregation #climatechange #parking #pollution #risk #income #domesticviolence as separate problems for the Governor to fund.

95 followers · 1003 posts · Server sfba.socialIn #poor countries the rising #middleclass is discovering that the first thing they want to buy when they can afford to is a #car. From Johannesburg to São Paulo, Bengaluru to Jakarta, the car is increasingly dominant. The fastest-growing #cities all over the world look more like Houstons than like #Amsterdams. And far more people live in them than in #America or #Europe. That is why unless we deal with the car, #climatechange is going to prove unstoppable.

#ObliviousConsumption: "In a place like #Afghanistan, the pressing question is whether any #death can today be considered unrelated to #war," Stephanie Savell, Costs of War co-director and author of the report, said in a statement. "Wars often kill far more people indirectly than in direct combat, particularly young children."
