💀 At Rebel Book Club we usually go for the ‘new’ in new year. But what if the topic was ‘dying’?

📚With the End in Mind

At 10 events we asked how we might live if we knew our lifespan & heard powerful stories from those with terminal illness:

‘Dying is not a big deal, living is what matters.’

Horrible scenes from LA.

What can we do?

1. Talk. Share the science, solutions, & opportunities.

2. Divest $ (pensions, investments, salaries).

3. Invest $ into climate + nature.

4. Switch careers to climate & nature.

5. Support Climate leaders.

Consumer panel:

“2024 has been horrible…everyone seems to be running out of cash but at least the valuations are now more realistic”

“Non planet brands won’t exist in 10-15 years. Coke & co will die because they’re not kind to people and planet.”

Great to be back at Blue Earth summit today.

The Blue Economy (think seaweed farms + lots more) seems to be a growing opportunity + of course the small matter that the ocean is all of earth’s life support system and we need to conserve it!

Just finished ENVIRONOMICS by Dharshini David.

Like an up to date ‘confessions of an eco sinner’ and with better data. From
Energy to Food to Minerals and Plastics, simplifies the complex, makes it personal in a non-judgemental
way and shows the future of all
Our economics needs to be nature first
