I pay tribute to Joanna Macy, who died in July, in the latest issue of permaculturemag.bsky.social. She was one of the most important ecological and spiritual teachers of our times (as well as my former teacher and friend).

With Caroline Lucas at the Conduit Club, talking about how to save democracy - by making action climate popular. By starting with where people are: not in abstractions, but in collaborative agency. On climate impacts and in cost of living - which are >the same fight<.
