I'm helping to organise the #FestivalofPeopleandPlanet in Norwich, reimagining our City’s future in global solidarity. It's part of @globaldonut.bsky.social Days. And as part of it, I'll deliver my creative workshop 'How It All Connects'. See reimaginenorwich.org.uk/festivalofpe...

Thank you to @bridgetmck.bsky.social who delivered an inspiring talk, full of resources and frameworks to give ‘people courage to be planetary citizens, or inhabitants of a biosphere in trouble. Not as consumers for culture…’ 💫 #GEMConference2025 #sustainability

Earth Talk is a community of practice, a series of courses and gatherings, a playbook and more offering a rich set of tools to hold effective conversations and creative activities about the Earth Crisis. There are now 50+ members of the community and 135+ creative tools shared.

4/4 of Earth Crisis Acknowledgement

That corn, though, a lot is processed to corn syrup and oil, cornstarch and alcohol. So, that’s a teeny tiny amount of fibrous whole plants.

By me: Trump’s spending bonanza for the Pentagon will produce an additional 26 megatons of planet-heating gases – on a par with the annual emissions generated by 68 gas power plants or the entire country of Croatia, new analysis by @cplusc.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

More than 80% of UK farmers worried about climate crisis harming livelihood, study finds: Farmers warn of risk to Britain’s food supply as more than three-quarters take hit to income from extreme weather More than 80% of UK farmers are worried that the “devastating” effect of the climate ...

Earth Crisis Acknowledgement: I acknowledge that Earth’s systems are in a state of overshoot, signalled by global heating, biodiversity loss and pollution, and worsening shortfall in meeting needs equally. 1/4

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

Jason Hickel posts on Insta new research that lower US income groups want environmental protections more than higher income groups. The assumption otherwise has been constructed by the propagandising lobbies trying to kill protections & delay action. Tx @bridgetmck.bsky.social!

I've made a short video and a blogpost to go into some reasons why we need #EarthTalk and why this programme could really help you. bridgetmck.medium.com/why-do-we-ne...

A new #EarthTalk course is coming up on 17 June. There will be a Discovery session this Friday if you want to find out more before deciding. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/discover-e... Or just sign up to join the community with the form in the post below.

I was one of the first founders of the Culture Declares Emergency, which over 6 years has grown to c.2000 organisations & individuals committed to addressing the Earth Crisis through Culture. In that time, we've never asked individuals to donate. Until now! donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

In early March, a group of Musk-affiliated staffers from the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) arrived at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the federal agency responsible for protecting workers’ rights and handling union disputes.

@bridgetmck.bsky.social has written an insightful piece for the EDP about issues involving our seas, prompted by the exhibition at Sainsbury Centre @sainsburycentre.bsky.social www.edp24.co.uk/news/2507199...

I’m showing some work in a pop-up for the post-grad art course I’ve been doing at the Art Depot in Norwich. My winter project was a reconnaissance of emotions of witnessing the Earth Crisis. See part of this project, an illustrated poem... bridgetmck.medium.com/being-with-t...

How do we overcome limited framings of the word ‘environment’? How do we help people hear ‘our precious biosphere & its sentient inhabitants are in trouble’ rather than ‘the team that tells us off for not recycling’? And to hear that without feeling so overwhelmed that they switch off?

Earth Talk is my course, community & playbook offering tools to hold effective conversations & creative activities about the Earth Crisis, which is Ecological Overshoot (e.g. global heating, pollution & ecocide) + Social Shortfall (e.g. inequalities, structural racism, authoritarian governments).

I've annotated in 'green ink' on the Interim Report of the Curriculum & Assessment Review, calling for more acknowledgement of the Earth Crisis. @beckyfrancis.bsky.social bridgetmck.medium.com/green-ink-on...

We’re at the UEA climate week inviting people to add their future change-maker selves to our museum of change.

"The future that is still possible will be one where we care for those most in need and collaborate to build safe, healthy and fair ways of living." Read the column by @bridgetmck.bsky.social inspired by the book I co-edited on Transformative Adaptation.

"The story that we are separate from nature has led to an economic system that exploits it and destroys what sustains our livelihoods." Great column by @bridgetmck.bsky.social talking about the new book I co-edited on Transformative Adaptation.

Check out this piece by @bridgetmck.bsky.social about the launch of #TransformativeAdaptation at Caracol Books in Norwich last week! 📙 It includes details on the community climate safety pillars shared by @rupertread.bsky.social👇 www.edp24.co.uk/news/2499787...

Here's a piece I wrote for our local paper: Can Norwich be a safe space for people and nature? It's about the launch of the Transformative Adaptation book, its pillars of Land, Community and Transformation and what they look like in Norwich. www.edp24.co.uk/news/2499787...

A short video from last night's #Norfolk launch of our little book, Transformative Adaptation - Another world is still just possible, at Caracol Books in #Norwich. Featuring @bridgetmck.bsky.social

A big thank you to everyone who came to the #Norfolk launch of my book, Transformative Adaptation - Another world is still just possible, at the brilliant Caracol Books in #Norwich tonight, especially @bridgetmck.bsky.social and Nick Brooks for their participation and valuable insights.

At the heart of my work is acknowledging & framing the #EarthCrisis I'm involved in Norwich Doughnut Economics Action group. We've renamed this as #ReimagineNorwich to widen the potential for change in the Earth Crisis context. Rethinking #DoughnutEconomics includes seeing other species as community

This Sunday, @danmiller999.bsky.social and I will discuss the new paper by James Hansen et al. in detail on Climate Chat. What questions would you like us to cover? If you can't wait, please find our conversation on the subject of Global Warming Acceleration from last year below.

Rupert Lowe, Gt Yarmouth Reform MP, calls immigrants illegal, aliens, dehumanises & others them, accuses them of crimes. This from a millionaire who made money working for Barings Bank with Nick Leeson. Long thread on his untruthful attack on potentially very vulnerable people on FB. #MPWatch

Here are Twelve Basic Observations on the US coup by Robin Metcalfe, a Canadian writer & art curator. I've taken the words into graphics, with images from Canva. Robin's website is www.robinmetcalfe.ca

⚡MP Watch has two campaigns running: ⚡one on Carbon Capture and Storage & ⚡a second on widening the public debate about how to organise our vital water system ⚡we also support our constituent groups 👛 We need your help to continue this work. Please donate here: buy.stripe.com/9AQ9DK83jdrS...

🤦‍♀️ Labour had a chance here to distance themselves from the net zero blocking Conservatives. People are becoming more & more disenchanted with this 'environmental' government. @edmilibandmp.bsky.social #OhEdMiliband!

Last week we had a success in alerting the Public Accounts Committee to the dangers of subsidies to Carbon Capture & Storage for new fossil fuel projects. So next month we will be at the court of appeal to watch this case. Please support

Norwich-based researcher, trainer and cultural educator, @bridgetmck.bsky.social, is hosting my #Norfolk book launch on Feb 28th at Caracol Books. She founded Culture Declares Emergency and Climate Museum UK among other things. Reserve a spot.

www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/lab... @prospectmagazine.co.uk We see you Keir Starmer PM who once defended environmental protectors now attacks them &seeks praise from the tyrant in the US But how would your younger self see you? MUST READ here about Starmer's pathetic attack on me👇

The Spring course of #EarthTalk starts with a short welcome session later today. Here’s the story of change for the programme.

It seems the UK Labour govt is falling suicidally into the Trumpy river flooding the world. We are vulnerable in UK due to our historic special relationship with the US, our separation from the EU, the chaotic and archaic nature of our so-called democracy, and the right-wing ownership of our media.

I put this on www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... about where the Govt is coming from on this. Prioritising Growth over Climate and Nature was not in the manifesto, and they have moved away from what they were voted in on. The attack on me reflects them more on them than it does me

Hello curious friends. I'm building a mailing list so you can receive news from me about the Earth Talk & Climate Museum UK communities of practice, and articles & creative pieces. My projects are spread too thin with different social platforms & groups of subscribers.

I love this short little intro from @bridgetmck.bsky.social about being a Possitopian and her Earth Talk course/ community (see bridgetmckenzie.uk/earth-talk for more on that)

A lot of my recent followers have been those fake accounts with few posts, dull narcissistic selfies, overt right-wing indicators or zero personal information. Feels like the rats & pirates & stowaways have come over from the sinking X ship to join the crew. Have been blocking.

1/ Does climate activism work? The short answer is yes, and there's been lots of research this year showing how Here are some highlights 🧵

IPBES report finds governments are underestimating or ignoring the links between #biodiversity, water, food, health and #climatechange. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I plan to write a self-guided tour / booklet on the radical, rights-respecting & creative people of #Norwich history. Also for my walks & workshops on #HistoryForTomorrow Here's the cast so far: possitopianorwich.me/people-who-m... Who's missing? More recent, diverse & marginalised people?

Had a wonderful Lost Species Day event yesterday. Writing the River to Life, with Norwich Writers Rebel & Stop the Wensum Link. A creative walk along the Wensum reflecting on species extinct or endangered, ending in an act of remembrance & writing time at the Playhouse.

I'm in a podcast, talking about Climate Museum UK and Culture Declares Emergency. It's hosted by a community arts organisation called Breaks & Joins that is all about rest & repair. breaksandjoins.com/podcasts/ #EarthTalk #CultureTakesAction
