The rich are trying to steal everything, our creativity, our jobs, our livable climate, our land. But those of us who are privileged to spend our lives in touch with Nature know this: we are the truly wealthy ones. We must defeat the greedy and build an Earth-centered society. Are you in?

Sad, and not at all surprising. Desmog does an excellent job tracking the funding and backing of these campaigns
@desmog.com.web.brid.gy reveals that a disinfo storm against a 2019 Lancet rprt on dietary change towards plant-based foods was driven by Red Flag, a PR firm representing the Animal Agriculture Alliance, a meat and dairy industry coalition set up to protect the sector against 'emerging threats'.

Good to hear more voices pushing for a Youth Mobility Scheme with the EU. For ministers to pretend this equals freedom of movement is ridiculous - similar agreements exist with over a dozen other countries with max time limit. Young people deserve better than this. Where’s the hope & vision?
