Did you know, eating plants instead of animals could solve world hunger? 🤯 1/3 of ALL the grain we grow is used to feed animals butchered for meat. Without the #meat industry, we could directly send that grain to about 3 BILLION famished people. How cool! 👏

So, Stanford released a report last year showing the total amount of GHGs that could be eliminated through a mass transition to #veganism is 68%. Not 14.5%, like the UN said, but 68%. If a report is published & no one hears about it, did it make a sound?

Animal agriculture contributes significantly to global warming through ongoing emissions of the potent greenhouse gases methane and nitrous oxide, and displacement of biomass carbon on the land used...

Happy New Year’s, everyone!✨💚 Let’s make this the year we quit hoping for change and instead start making change happen. #Veganism is the most natural progression towards a fairer, kinder world & a #degrowth economy. #Veganuary2023 #NewYear2023

People say individuals can’t do anything. If 50% went vegan, the gov would be forced to confront climate chaos and make the sweeping changes needed.
Phasing out animal agriculture would provide half the net emission reductions necessary to limit warming to 2°C #ditchdairy #goVegan #ClimateCrisis #ClimateActionNow

May the Fourth Be With You. Will Jay finally turn away from the dark side and do something to fight the insidious inflation he wrought? Doubtful...

@StephanKelton @HarrisonTesoura @harveyjkaye We talk of FDR's #EconomicBillofRights but the only blueprint to achieve that is though the Kucinich 2012 bill #TheNEEDAct. #MMT only views the current failed system.

People have to let go of the fallacy that the gov can spend regardless of taxes and borrowing. It solves nothing, and serves no purpose whatsoever and just has people saying, "Huh,wah?!"
The fallacious MMT STAB hypothesis says that the government must spend before taxing and borrowing occur which leads to other fallacies like federal taxes don’t pay for anything.@StephanieKelton @wbmosler #MMT @BCGreens @CanadianGreens

Check out this Nov. 5-7 online conference with well known economists like former Governor of the Bank of Spain Miguel Ordonez, Ronnie Phillips, Nicolaus Tideman, Patrizio Laina, Joseph Huber & Kitlikoff. Lectures on CBDC could show MMT can be mainstream. https://t.co/1fp7daAWZI
