And in the US pet food is 15% of meat.

I don’t eat meat more than once a week, partly because I’m too poor to afford meat every day.

In the realm of speculative fiction, migration as a response to climate change sparks hope and resilience. It reminds me that even in uncertainty, we can find new beginnings. Let's imagine a better future together! #booksky #climatefiction 📚✨

probablefutures.org/perspective/... The context for "A New Faith" is #migration (as one way #adaptation to #climatechange could happen). It is, of course, fiction! This article spells out the current state of the climate adaptation field quite well. #solarpunk #booksky #climatefiction

probablefutures.org/perspective/... After spending more than two decades using numbers to persuade folks to do something about #climatechange - I, finally, started writing stories to reach the same folks and hopefully, get them to meaningfully grapple with the crisis. #humanrights #migration
