Wondering Wednesdays, Do Better, Chapter 6.IV: mapping out steps to the end goal

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This post is the rough draft of Chapter 6, section IV, for my non-fiction WiP, Baby Floors.

Putting a floor on poverty so that each and every baby born can have a safe childhood.

Once again, by way of disclaimer, the overall goal is now to explain why we need both equ. + justice, & why in 4 phases. This chapter is part of showing what Phases I-IV could look like as potential roadmap for a fully inclusive society for all of us. This vision is laid out in the hope that All HumanKind will eventually have each person’s basic needs met, without taking anything from anyone, and without violence, intimidation, nor coercion of any kind.

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Quantas vezes no meio de nossos conflitos, a gente passa por restrições? Inúmeras. Em geral, quando estamos profundamente tristes, abatidos pela dureza das circunstâncias, não se busca o diálogo com o outro, como forma de ” aliviar” a dor que se sente. Às vezes, se prefere o silêncio, se busca o diálogo com o que a razão não alcança.

Sim, se busca o diálogo íntimo, visual com o indecifrável, o céu, os cosmos, Deus!…com o que o ser humano não sabe definir. Mas, a verdade, é que se busca conversar consigo mesmo. Se foge dessa coisa da consciência, do raciocínio lógico. O bem-estar, o nosso bem-estar pessoal, às vezes vem do silêncio. Sabe aquele ditado que diz que ” uma imagem vale mais do que mil palavras?” Basta você botar os olhos no que se torna imensidão dentro de si, que somos capazesde nos inundar de boas sensações”. É como…

COP-26: « Our collective resistance to defend our ancestral territories is part of an urgent and necessary proposal by indigenous peoples that aligns with our call to protect at least 80% of the Amazon rainforest before 2025. » – The time is now to « Exit Amazon Oil & Gas » – and other extractive industries!

Indigenous people of the Amazon Rainforest

Indigenous leaders from across the Amazon passed a resolution toprotect 80% of the rainforest by 2025at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in September, 2021. Now at COP-26 they continue to call on global governments, corporations and financial firms to end financing for extractive industries in the Amazon region.

«The fossil fuel industry has spent decades denying and delaying real action on the climate crisis, which is why this is such a huge problem. Their influence is one of the biggest reasons why 25 years of UN climate talks have not led to real cuts in global emissions.»

  • Global Witness

Of the approximately 40,000 people attending COP-26, the Brazilian government has the biggest official team of negotiators with 479 delegates, according to the UN.

Global Witness counted 503 delegates and lobbyists with links to fossil fuel interests who were accredited for COP-26. Therefore…

COP26: meat eating is a big climate issue – but isn’t getting the attention it deserves —

Barbara Crane Navarro

Emma Garnett, University of Cambridge UK prime minister Boris Johnson launched the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow with the mantra of “coal, cars, cash and trees”. But thus far the summit has largely ignored the elephant in the room. Or rather, the cows, pigs, chickens and fish. The global food system is currently responsible for[…]
