On psychology, status, a history of ideological poison, and conspicuous hyperconsumption even in townships. Our need for status signaling is pretty dramatic. Just like birds and other vertebrates, we guess. www.stableplanetalliance.org/post/izikhot...

Delighted to share this good discussion between friends Nandita Bajaj @popnbalance.bsky.social & Florence Blondel @florenceblondel.bsky.social on population angst/ #coercivepronatalism stoked by #farright patriarchal drivers of social/economic growth youtu.be/WBdJ4QZ-kc4 @endovershoot.bsky.social 👏

Friends, I need your ideas for my fmr student in #wartime #Sudan. She has a PhD+hopes for a TWAS-DFG cooperation visits fellowship -not only to help her #wildlifeecology work, but also the survival+wellbeing of her family in Sudan. Who are antelope ecologists in Germany? @ignasheitkonig.bsky.social

If ever there was justification for a World Charter for Nature and Climate, surely Attenborough makes the case. sites.google.com/view/worldma... petitions.worldmagnacarta.co.uk @phoebebarnard.bsky.social @planetweaver.bsky.social

So grateful to the #CO2Foundation for their generous support at a time when we most desperately needed it! co2foundation.org/exploring-cl... Do you have an interest in supporting clear-eyed but unifying, agency-reclaiming messaging about our future, our climate, our planet and civilization? DM me 🌿

We wanted to share this #challenge for all of us in #humanity, at these crossroads. Our founder @phoebebarnard.bsky.social is working with Theo Wilson on her new project - somehow. Need to raise funds first. Please share this. It deserves to #goviral. #crossroads www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNLr...

Here's a story from South Korea that can inspire the "Hands Off!" events taking place in the United States: how a mix of street protests and responsive democratic institutions prevailed in a political crisis.

"What are we doing to ourselves when we tell ourselves we're Consumers 3000x/day? What would it look like to put the same creativity+energy into involving people as Citizens? What would you do in this time, if you truly believed in yourself +those around you?" www.canburypress.com/products/cit...

It's hard to find 20-somethings or 50-somethings for that matter these days in the Global North who can repair socks, sweaters, toasters, or chairs. That's a problem for the times likely coming. If you haven't seen BuyNow! yet, prepare to be abundantly grossed out😧 www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVfZ...

#Pregnancy and #childbirth are intimate, potentially very risky, energetically demanding, and a woman's choice. We appreciate community political leaders like @piperformissouri.bsky.social who call out horrific arrogance and misogyny of right-wing politicians+activists that would force women ...🧵

Someone engaged us yesterday on a common refrain: "It's not population, it's consumption." Well, yes. And no. Let us point out 2 obvious facts. 1. Population is mathematically (very non-linearly) related to consumption. 2. The world is a tragically unequal place. We need to solve both, not bicker.

But not all humans follow self-destructive behaviors. Ancient civilizations and especially Indigenous cultures have much to teach us about the mistakes some of us have made. #indigenousculturalbridges #collapse #stewardship #rights #responsibilities #biodiversity #humansupremacy #entitlement

#Hyperconsumption, #population pressures, and #entitlement #mindsets are at the root of these failures. Let's change that.

Remember, everything that is lost or imperilled on this human-crowded and human-plundered planet. It matters. Many species are almost a million years old, and their future is threatened by our actions mainly over the past 50 years.

What's your own country's Overshoot Day? If it's before December 31, you and your government and civil society need to talk. . . Sweden's was 10 April.

Separation from Nature isn't just destroying Nature. It's also destroying our mental and physical health. Here are three easy steps to help communities - kids and adults - reconnect. Thanks @fernhames.bsky.social ✨

How do we keep the tiller steady on a crowded planet of nearly 8.2 billion people increasingly isolated from Nature and this exquisite planet - all of whom deserve enough to have a satisfying life of wellbeing, but many of whom expect and demand more?

This group is initially curated by @phoebebarnard.bsky.social, founding CEO of Stable Planet Alliance who started the initial Facebook group. Yep, we accept 'doomers' in this group and acknowledge the massive challenges of overshoot, but we're not nihilists and won't tolerate too much of that, fyi!

Welcome! We're moving here from being an established global women's group on Facebook. We're deeply concerned with intergenerational and Earth justice and human impact on the planet -to bend the curve on hyperconsumption, population, and mindsets and systems of power& dominance driving overshoot🐝🦋
