This Nature Food article still crops up here and there. Hannah's response is useful. #FoodMiles #OurWorldInData #NoteToSelf
There is a new study in @NatureFoodJnl that suggests that 'food miles' account for nearly 20% of food emissions: nature.com/articles/s43016-0… This is way higher than previous studies! Except, this is not really the case & they're measuring very different things... 🧵👇

Brazilian ranchers are burning as much rainforest as they can because they’re afraid Bolsonaro will lose next month and they won’t get away with it any longer. The extent of the damage is apocalyptic. In a few days, a massive smoke plume will choke out the sun over São Paulo.

#AusPol2022 result confirms what market research has been telling us: ppl want #ClimateActionNow. In 2021, 65% globally / 63% in #AU agreed "govt will be failing citizens if they don’t #ActNow on #climate" (surely⬆️ with #EastCoastFloods). 🤸🏻‍♀️#PeoplePower 💚#NewDay 🌏#StepChange

69% of people globally think they understand what action they need to take to play their part in tackling #climatechange (66% in Aus). Yet @Ipsos #PerilsofPerception research (2021) shows we're often wrong. @taketheJUMPnow has 6 evidence-based actions proven to make a difference.

last episode. I can't remember when I first subscribed but wouldn't be surprised if it was near the beginning, and I've recommended the podcast many times, followed up numerous interviews, ordered books for libraries, and enhanced my advocacy thanks to what I've learnt here.

I will of course continue to listen but I feel like I'm saying goodbye to someone dear to me, even though @so_s and I have never met. Siobhan: on behalf of all beings, thank you for your contribution and inspiration, and may love and light hold you gently as you go 💗🌳🦋 🐷

Far more soy (and other monocultures) are used for animal feed than traditional or new alternative proteins. Also, 5x more deforestation occurs for cattle pastures than for all soy combined (but both are interrelated).
