“We must build connections with those who understand the urgency and the truth of our situation. The mainstream is not our ally and predatory capitalism can never provide a pathway to a stable climate.”
“We're delusional if we think we can save our climate by tweaking a system that rewards exploitation and that measures success with planet destroying increases in GDP. “
Boycotts are an effective way to make companies pay attention to consumers. Example of Nestle.
Boycotts have been effective -- examples include forcing Body Shop to declare itself “animal cruelty-free” after a boycott and Nestle being forced to commit to zero deforestation policy
Can a social movement develop around a topic like climate change?
Can better climate communicating influence a mass movement?
Can Project Drawdown catalyze a social movement?
Climate activists are being forced to act illegally
Climate activists should serve as the leading edge of the eco-leninist movement that is required
Companies say (privately) that they want government action
Example of success is England, where government was pressured into banning some single-use plastic items, and EU, where European Parliament passed law banning disposable plastic
Greta Thunberg on Twitter: “The #COP26 is over. Here’s a brief summary: Blah, blah, blah. But the real work continues outside these halls. And we will never give up, ever.”
If government is too slow, how do citizens drive faster action?
If not activists, what will prevent ecocide?
Is anyone leading development of a coordinated climate movement?
It’s going to take the kind of authenticity that we’ve seen from Greta and Extinction Rebellion, but enhanced by orders of magnitude
Kids realize their future is something no one is looking forward to, and they are being prepared by education for a world that will not exist
Strikes can have significant effect on policy-making since politicians will listen to the electorate
The odds are overwhelmingly against us, but humans are capable of bucking the odds
