- Yep, you can use a ‘keep cup’ during Covid-19. Here’s the facts. Hello. This is a post I wrote to help coffee drinkers and cafe owners navigating the HUGE misconception that, “You can’t use reusable, or BYO, cups during Covid”. Fact is: you can. So why is everyone saying you can’t? Same reason that everyone panic-bought toilet paper…because everyone else panic-bought toilet paper. Time to bust this more
- How meet your local MP to talk climate About a year ago, as we emerged from the bushfires here in Australia and concern escalated about what the hell our leaders were doing to combat climate change, I suggested we all go and talk to our MPs and tell them what we think. It’s our right. It’s our responsibility. I said I would go more
- Let’s get 2 million to sign the Climate Act Now petition! OK.I’m doing an ongoing series of posts on what you can do to make a difference. I shared my overview of the best way to make a difference here and a great starting point for everyone – a climate daily reading list. Right now, for Australians, supporting the proposed Climate Change Act by adding your more
- My reading and listening list to beat climate crisis overwhelm This dilemma might be familiar to you. You might recognise it in yourself or in someone, or others, around you. This week I had a very interesting chat with my friend Frank (not his real name) off the back of my “What can I do?” My answer to global climate crises overwhelm post. He told me, frankly, more
- “What can I do?” My answer to global climate crises overwhelm. Right. I said I’d do this: give an answer to how we can best do something in the face of the devastating, overwhelming climate crises we are living in, particularly in Australia where the latest wildlife toll is over 1 billion. Can I be honest? I am overwhelmed, exhausted and bewildered, and have been grieving more
- Why Australians must rage at Prime Minister ScoMo I’ve been asked to write this post by strangers and friends. But I wanted to solidify my own thoughts, too. Please note: This post has been continuously updated to 11 January 2020. I don’t want to fling outrage and insults in an unhelpful manner. And I don’t want to merely continue to share the dramatic more
- My path forward in the face of climate despair When a bunch of climate scientists were asked recently about where they derive their hope in the face of climate despair they didn’t cite scientific innovation.They cited the striking students.“The problem we’re facing, it’s not a technology problem. It’s not a science problem,” said one of the scientists, Professor Will Steffer, Emeritus Professor at the more
- When hope has a wobble, we fire the f*ck up. The Australian election result is sad and worrying, but also rally call. It was the last election that could make a proper dint in the climate crisis. Many commentators have said as such. Including the biggest international voice on the matter who has been watching our descent for 30 years, Bill McKibben. I truly advise more
- A how to #voteclimate guide I’m going to keep things very simple. First thing first. This is a climate election. No bones. It is vital we #voteclimate. The UN has given us less than 12 years to change. The change must be dramatic. The change must happen now. The scale of the issue is so gargantuan that governments must do more
- “But global warming has happened before! The planet survived!” Yeah, and that’s the most horrific bit… I’ve been doing a series of Cheat Sheets geared at getting us engaged fully in the very real truth of global warming. You can catch up on the other rants here. In this post I’m simply going to share the most startling rebuttal to A Denier that I have in my arsenal. It’s essence, however, is more
