#protectHighPark #biodiversity Five years ago, Passover Full Moon would be only light spilling over Grenadier Pond in High Park. Those, calling now Provincially Significant Wetland home, could live less disturbed lives. So could we, people. Keep city out of TO's remaining nature!

The most dangerous lie of the 21st century was that all cultures are interchangeable. Sweden is the irrefutable proof that they are not. As an Iranian who watched my own country fall to extremism, the tragedy unfolding in Scandinavia feels like a recurring nightmare. I have

Iran’s capital Tehran (pop > 10 million) is having a severe water crisis and Iran’s reservoirs are running dry. 80-90% of Iran’s water is used for agriculture and much of that water is lost through inefficient irrigation and leaky infrastructure. But sustainable water use was

They flooded hospitals with immigration. Their solution is more foreign doctors. They flooded housing with immigration. Their solution is more immigrant house builders. Can we just get off this surreal merry-go-round and end mass immigration?

Central Park just urban park with limit. biodiversity @EricDLombardi. In TO, the laws adopted into OP to protect #rare natural features & #ecologicalfunctions (threatened species, migr. birds). The #ESAs need buffers, connectivity, sustainable use, watersheds. #ProtectHighPark
The density surrounding High Park should look like Central Park and you can’t change my mind.

The devastation wrought by Cyclone Senyar on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, was greatly exacerbated by decades of deforestation and land-use changes. The degraded soil no longer acts as a sponge, and the runoff can become torrential. Sumatra’s population has nearly tripled

What pop growth targets @EricDLombardi sees as sustainable? A follower of #CenturyInitiative100? TO https://t.co/fMPwDTyqHW and fastest growing city in N/A. Southern ON houses 94% of all ON and most of Canada. EU city/country no longer sustainable except for Sweden, Finland.
This is a brand new suburban Transit Oriented Community in Paris. I refuse to believe we cannot build new suburban “urban centers”in Toronto/Ontario like this, respecting our own local vernacular as well. Don’t tell me nice things aren’t possible in Canada.

This system is unsustainable. But any system serving 8B people would strain the planet far beyond its limits. Oppression explains injustice; it doesn’t erase carrying capacity. Scale matters, no matter the ideology.
Capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism don't serve billions of people, they oppress them, while a minority profit (temporarily) and cause by far the most damage. We don't and can't know how many people can live sustainably; we absolutely do know these systems are unsustainable.
