Et je t'ai mis les liens vers l'interview de Sandra Guimarães pour @poissonpodcast : une discussion riche, intense, qui fait réfléchir et bouger les lignes sur le #colonialisme, le #racisme, l'#antispécisme et les #luttes . À écouter jusqu'à la scène finale !
#Müllermlich, #Landliebe und #Weihenstephan. Nur 3 weitere Marken, die ich in Zukunft nicht mehr kaufen werde. Wenn der Chef meint, es sei völlig unproblematisch, mit einer vom Verfassungsschutz beobachteten, offen rechtsextremen und menschenverachtenden Partei zusammen zu arbeiten, dann muss er auf mich als Kunden verzichten. Nur leider werde ich einer von Wenigen sein, die zu solchen Schritten bereit sind. Das Volk ist bequem, satt und bräsig. Ich war von mir selber überrascht, wie ich das schon mit #Nestle hinbekommen habe. Ohne, dass meine Einkäufe relevant teurer geworden wären. Ist nur eine Frage von Vergleich und Testerei. #NazisRaus
Threat of massive drinking #WaterCrisis looms over American regions: ‘There will be parts of the U.S. that run out’
Story by Wes Stenzel, November 27, 2023
"A new study from The New York Times has revealed that substantial, consistent damage is being done to the #groundwater supply in the United States, which has massive negative implications for #agriculture, #DrinkingWater, construction, and more.
"What’s happening?
"In the past four decades, more than half of all American groundwater sites have been substantially depleted, as more water has been taken out than replenished naturally.
"Additionally, 40 percent of all locations have hit an all-time low.
"Pumping out groundwater disrupts layers of different substances below the Earth’s surface, as the ground can settle into the area where the water is taken out and take up space where it would ordinarily replenish.
"The New York Times sees a lack of regulation as one of the biggest issues regarding groundwater use. Additionally, The Times claims there is very little significant research and data tracking on a countrywide scale.
"Why is groundwater use important?
"Groundwater is essential to agriculture, and the depletion of the resource could fundamentally disrupt crop yields in the coming years in states such as Kansas, where the natural groundwater cannot support the agricultural industry anymore, according to The Times. Meanwhile, more arid states like California, Texas, and Utah are seeing widespread infrastructural damage to roads and the ground due to overpumping. Phoenix does not have enough groundwater in certain areas to construct new homes."
The Swiss corporation Nestle is one of the largest food producers in the world, doing business in 187 countries. Despite the ongoing Russian aggression against #Ukraine, #Nestle continues to operate in the aggressor state, supplying goods to its population and expanding its production base in the country. On this basis, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) is including the company in the list of international sponsors of the war.
Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) added Nestle to its list of "international sponsors of war," for its continued business in Russia, the agency's press service announced on Nov. 2.
Nestlé have a huge environmental impact due to their production of dairy, which creates methane, a greenhouse gas 82 times more powerful than CO2. #Nestlé has no plan to significantly reduce methane in any way. https://highsteaks.eu/
Just over a year ago, I went to Hope to organize healing ceremonies for Coquihalla River because #TMX was digging up river while early salmon runs were happening. That's same trip that I tried accessing #BlueTriton aka #Nestle water stealing plant in Hope, BC too.
It was a heartbreaking activism trip. Industry is destroying so much natural ecology. Money can't buy back full ecosystems, especially when our #BCNDP government is helping contribute to more #ecocide in #BritishColumbia#Canada 😪
It occurred to me today that the social value of the open-source work I do in my free time has probably been an order of magnitude more useful to the world than everything I've ever done as a paid employee. Needing to seek a wage almost certainly makes me a less productive member of society than I would otherwise be.
I used to think that way, too.
Until I found out what has really happened during the past 40-50 years.
And I am not only talking about the #GinnyCoefficient (there was an excellent pod of #TheEconomist on this topic some months ago) and the betrayal of the global population by #BigOil, or the neocolonial practices of such Robber-Barron companies like #Nestlé.
#Nestlé has recalled its Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bar because the snacks may contain wood fragments.
The recall, announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Thursday, is limited to two batches of the Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough "break and bake" Bar produced on April 24 and 25.
A little digging shows that the #oligarchs continue to live a life of luxury in London, buying holiday homes in Thailand and freely travelling between the two in their private jets.
Meanwhile Russia continues to do big exports to the West (gemstones & precious metals) and big Western companies still operate in Russia (#Unilever, #Nestlé, #Auchun, #leroymerlin, etc.)
