1523 followers · 338 posts · Server canada.masto.hostToday I learned about Earth Overshoot Day which is the day in a given year when “the world as a whole is exceeding its renewable biocapacity” (see W_Lucht@mstdn.social)
For the 🌍 that day falls on August 2nd. For 🇨🇦 it’s a shocking March 13th. March 13th! Let that sink in.
I think we Canadians need to do more. And quickly. There’s no time to lose.
Great 🇨🇦 info here -

#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

Jung said #large electric vehicles, due to their large #batteries, are at least 50 percent #heavier than an internal combustion engine-powered vehicle and will put more #wear on tires and cause more #pollution.

“We are moving in the wrong direction on basically all of these,” Johan Rockström, the paper’s lead author and the director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, told reporters.

Let's see if they talk about economic growth and other systemic structures that create the conditions for overconsumption.

@empiricism It has gotten some attention in the EU lately because of the macro scale mitigation models for 1.5°C without massive CDR requiring it.
There is very little policy in place to do any of this because it goes so deeply against the status quo, I assume. #Sufficiency

#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.

Was steckt hinter der These des „Weniger ist mehr“? Warum können wir alle gewinnen, wenn wir auf Überfluss und Konsumismus verzichten? In ihrer neuen Streitschrift „Wir haben genug!“ zeichnen die bayerischen ÖDP-Politiker* Agnes Becker, Tobias Ruff und Bernhard Suttner die Konturen eines neuen Wohlstandsmodells, das auf Bewahrung, Nachhaltigkeit und Sinnstiftung setzt. Das 92-seitige Buch erscheint am 7. Juli 2023 im Münchner Oekom Verlag. Wir sind gespannt! #ÖDP #orangeaktiv #sufficiency
