Many politicians pledge to be dedicated to the environment, and to put environmental issues first, but in reality many people often prioritize their own needs before those of the earth's. If we want a place to live in the future, action needs to be taken now!

Why Hunting Is Good For the Enviroment
disclaimer, this is from a primarily new zealand perspective
goats destroy many native plants. when they eat a plant they usually kill it. wild mammals are extremely threatening to endangered species such as kakabeak, of which only 153 are left in the wild as of current. hunters massively contributed to eradicating these invasive species from mount Taranaki. this means native birds can be reintroduced, such as kiwi, blue ducks/whio, and kōkako, the latter of which may introduce themselves if there are few predators.
the plants often killed by goats, deer and pigs are also home to many lizard species, some of which are only found in Taranaki. a lot of people dont know, but these mammals (particularly deer, which need extra calcium for their antlers, and pigs, which are omnivores not herbivores) eat baby birds if given the chance. Aotearoa's native birds evolved with very few predators, and many nest near the ground where they are easily picked off.
and then theres the possums.
possums may be cute but they are a huge threat to Aotearoa's entire ecosystem. possums eat leaves of native plants and continue eating the new growth, stopping the plant from recovering. they can destroy entire canopies, resulting in forests being turned into low-lying bush. possums are a huge factor in the decline of plant species such as pōhutukawa, rātā and kōhekōhe. they eat eggs, chicks and even adults of kākā, kea, kiwi, kōkako, kererū, tui, fantails, bellbirds and more. every native species of Aotearoa is threatened by possums.
but there is something that can help. areas where possums are controlled have a significantly higher rate of success in nesting birds. hunters can shoot possums and can even sell the skin. possum fur is hollow to trap heat inside the hairs. it is very soft and warm and can be used for boots, coats, blankets, hats, and pretty much anything like that. the leather is soft and flexible but still tough.
around 2-3 decades ago, Aotearoa had approximately 50-70 MILLION possums. now research suggests there is around 30 million possums. compare that to the mere 5.5 million humans here. thats still a lot, but it is a huge improvement.
if it werent for hunters, there would still be goats, pigs and deer destroying the unique enviroment of mount Taranaki. next we need to eradicate possums. a single possum can eat up to 60 endangered carnivorous snails in a single night. we need to protect our native ecosystem. we cant let extreme anthropomorphzation (thinking animals are people) stop us from helping wildlife recover. if we dont do something, species will go extinct. human intervention saved the takahē. it can save more if we do it right. dont let more species die like the huia.
if the forest thrives, the birds thrive. if the birds thrive, the forest thrives.

Horrible fact of the day: Chevron just released a new boat fuel that WILL give you cancer.
Not "might", not "could", WILL. It has a cancer ratio of 1.3:1, as in, in a group of 10 people, 10 would contract CANCER.
(Edit: apparently some articles are now saying 1.4:1, and some are saying a little under that. Either way, the consensus seems to be anywhere between a 95-100+% of contracting cancer, with some expectations of this fuel not even needing a full lifetime of exposure for you to get Cancer.)
The EPA's safety limit is 1:1,000,000 as in 1 in a million people get cancer.
The EPA approved it anyways. I am not joking. The EPA approved a boat fuel that has a near 100% chance of giving someone cancer. It has such a good chance of giving someone cancer that if you DIDN'T get cancer YOU WOULD BE AN OUTLIER.
Fuck the oil industries.
Edit: If you find this (rightfully) horrifying, have you considered industrial sabotage? /hj
This isn't something we can vote away. This isn't something the rich are gonna apologize and make a 10 minute apology video for this. They don't care if you starve or wither in hospitals or get blown up in their wars.
If you don't know where to get started:
If you already know what to do, then it's time to do it. Participate in mutual aid, raise awareness in real life as well as online, participate in or train in self defense and emergency medical training classes.

Today we lost Ted Kaczynski. It's not surprising, we all knew that day was around the corner, considering his diagnosis, but hearing about it still shook me a bit. He was certainly not a flawless person, but his uncompromising devotion to defending the wild against the system of civilisation will forever earn him my respect. We need more people of such powerful character, determination and wit. Rest in power, Uncle Ted 💚

why have big rich men and concrete industrialized everything when we could have plants and bugs and front yards that aren't just turf grass and happy people walking outside with the ones they care about if we just stopped putting up with a world of increasing bigotry and boiling and ended the systems that do us harm 🌱 [seedling emoji]

There is no justice in racist system! There never has been and there never will be justice, in a system that has been set up to marginalize others. We will never be free until we either completely reform the system or abolish it.

"humans are inherently violent theres no way we could survive without a dictator to control us. its like wolves"
wolves only do that in captivity.
in the wild, an "alpha" wolf is just the breeding male, and the beta his mate. the puppies eat first. the alpha even hides food so the pups can learn to find it themselves. he cares for the pack.
in captivity, the wolves get stressed. they are trapped and react by becoming aggressive, fighting over resources simply from stress of lack of freedom.
capitalism forces us to fight over resources. there is no lack of resources, our dictators just withhold it from us. this makes us stressed, and much like the captive wolves, we get aggressive.
we make enemies where there are none, because like the wolves, we are captive.

Important, PLEASE Read and Share.
TW // Violence and Police Brutality.
Protesters in Atlanta Georgia are being threatened on bogus charges by the state.
For the past 2+ years, protesters in Atlanta Georgia have been protesting and camping out in the Weelaunee Forest, Atlanta's largest remaining green space. With so little of these vast spaces left, and more being taken, it is so important to save what we can.
The Atlanta Police Foundation chose the Weelaunee Forest to establish a massive training complex which would include fake city like buildings for Police training, which is why the project has been dubbed "Cop City". This training facility would no doubt be used to increase the militarization of the Police, and add to the harassment and brutalization both black communities and protesters face when trying to live and exercise their rights.
The facility would be built adjacent to a majority Black, working class community that was not only promised the forest for trails and park space, but would surely be subject to even more policing instead of a Third Space* they can use as a community.
The facility would desecrate 87 acres of land, spanning over 381 acres, and costing around $90 million dollars that could have gone back into community projects and care instead of further the subjugation of the working class.
Police have been extremely violent towards the dubbed "Forest Defenders", raiding the forest multiple times to shoot pepper balls at nonviolent protesters and also destroying shelters, water/food storage, and even purposely destroy Jewish religious sites, including a Sukkah that was built for Sukkot and was destroyed by police in a raid 2 months after, along with a large Menorah which "disappeared". The forest camps has become an important religious site for Jewish people in and around Atlanta, as more than 60+ Jewish People have traveled to the forest for Shabbat, with hundreds more joining the live stream for Shabbat.
The forest is not just important for nearby Black and Jewish communities, the Defenders adding shelters, cafeterias, and even a small stage venue in the forest in an effort to Squat the forest has provided local homeless communities with a warm place to eat and shelter. The forest has transformed into a safe space for the community as Defenders educate each other and the Atlanta communities on first aid, cultural differences, leftism and anarchism in practice, and more.
Following violent interactions with Police, protesters have responded by burning down construction equipment (with no construction workers nearby), and throwing rocks at Cops who attempted to get close to harass the protesters. When it comes to the safety of our planet and communities, property is replaceable.
However, a life is not. On January 18th, 2023, a nonbinary anarchist eco activist, who was knowledgeable as a street medic and worked tirelessly as a forest defender, was shot and killed by Georgia State Troopers during another raid on the forest. Their name was Manuel “Tortuguita” Terán.
Police claimed Tortuguita shot first and injured a trooper, which the media picked up and began to circulate. However, multiple autopsies have confirmed not only did Tortuguita have no gunpowder residue on their hands, but Tortuguita was shot while on their knees, hands in the hair, surrendering to Police. Autopsies also concluded Tortuguita was hit with at least 57 gunshot wounds across their entire body, showing Tortuguita was executed by a police fire squad.
Police body camera footage also showed a Cop admitting that the Troopers had "fucked up their own guy", which authorities of course dismissed and refuse to participate in proving their innocence that they're so sure of.
In response to this, protesters took to the streets and burned a cop car, leading to police arresting 40+ activists. Police also arrested, threatened, and intimidated anyone who was peacefully discussing and sharing information about Tortuguita's murder on the streets of Atlanta, attempting to silence anyone who was even peacefully raising awareness.
Atlanta Police also conducted a random raid of a legally operating Bail Fund based in Atlanta, The Atlanta Solidarity Funds. The raid came as the Atlanta Solidarity Funds was legally raising money and awareness to help with Bail and Legal Defense, as protesters who were arrested peacefully were being charged with Domestic Terrorism, and now RICO/Racketeering charges. The Atlanta Police claim that the Bail Fund was laundering money, but other Bail Funds are calling this out as an obvious act of intimidation since absolutely no stories or proof has been released in conjuction with these financial charges.
There's a lot more, this has been going on for years, but one thing is certain. If we do not stop this here, they will tear the forests in your cities down and continue to militarize the police, furthering the oppression of the working class and continuing to make Black and marginalized communities lives hell.
Please read up on what has been happening in Atlanta because there's way more than the bits I talked about here. The Forest Defenders have been through so fucking much, and they still have a lengthy battle. But you cannot kill an idea. You can follow the Atlanta Solidarity Fund and the Forest Defenders on Social Media to keep up with them.
PLEASE boycott when possible, or be extremely vocal, towards the companies backing cop city. PLEASE tell them they have Blood on their hands.
Please continue to raise awareness, and follow Cop City closely. Please Read and Share.
