WALL ST MUST STOP DESTROYING THE WORLD’S JUNGLES. Often with the aid of the US Federal Reserve:
“Millions of acres of rainforest continue to be set on fire and bulldozed. We need the funds to fight back in 2023! Help us:
Stop Big Brands like Nestlé and Mondelēz from using rainforest-destroying palm oil in their candies and other products.
Keep the pressure on Big Banks like Bank of America to stop their disastrous funding of fossil fuel and deforestation projects.
Support frontline and Indigenous communities directly impacted by profit-driven systems of injustice.
Every dollar you donate helps us stand up to mega-corporations destroying our planet for a quick profit. With help from supporters like you, we've worked to protect millions of acres since our founding in 1985.
Your donation will be DOUBLED if you donate by 12/31. Please be generous this holiday season!”

“The “economy” is our material relationship with each other and with the rest of the living world. We have to decide whether we want that relationship to be based on extraction and exploitation, or on reciprocity and care.”

Washington green washing:
85% of new GHG emissions are coming from the Planet’s feedback mechanisms, NOT human activity. Park all the automobiles and trucks you want and it won’t do squat to solve Global Warming:
Environmental defense fund? I don’t think so. I do not trust an environmental group that, like the NRDC, has offices in major financial districts around the country and have no qualms aligning itself with a fascist American regime.
“EDF’s analysis finds that at least 230 fleets have made commitments to deploy or have deployed zero-emission trucks — a twelvefold increase since 2017.”

Washington green washing:
“Biggest investment in history” isn’t saying much. What’s more, it doesn’t say anything about the adequacy and sufficiency of this investment. And that includes timing and scale. When you hear this sound bite you are listening to someone aligned with the very same neoliberal regime that is hell bent on continued worsening of the problem:
ALSO UNDERSTAND THIS A CLEAR SIGN OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT GROWING INCREASINGLY DESPERATE WITH THE WORSENING CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR HAVING KILLED THE PLANET.
THIS DESPERATE PROPAGANDA TOGETHER WITH RECENT SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE SHOULD HAVE YOU VERY CONCERNED. THERE WILL BE NO NORMALIZING THE DEATH OF OUR PLANET AS JUST BUSINESS AS USUAL. It is going to be chaotic and our governments will not care.
“The Inflation Reduction Act is the Biggest Climate Investment in History. The Fight Doesn’t Stop Here.”
“2023 is approaching, which means the largest climate bill to ever become a law is going to start showing some real impacts.
The investments in the Inflation Reduction Act give us the opportunity to do what the fossil fuels industry never did. We can build out the clean energy infrastructure of the future while also installing guardrails to protect the places and communities most impacted by development. But to do so, we need to work together to hold the Biden administration accountable.”
