Ethical Consumer are hiring! Come and work in the office with me :)
Today Guardian and Observer journalists are on strike over plans to sell the Observer to a loss-making digital start up and put its journalism behind a paywall. 🧵

I don't think the Fossil Fuel industry wouldn't have the hold it has over our society if it wasn't for such effective PR and advertising campaigns. It's one of the core reasons they've managed to sow so much disinformation over the years - you are 100% doing the right thing!
As ever, EC supporting calls to Boycott Black Friday and Boycott Amazon
This week marks the beginning of Black Friday sales where we renew our call for consumers to #BoycottAmazon
There is a myriad of environmental and ethical issues with Amazon, in our latest feature we highlight their Tax avoidance, which in 2023 we estimate cost UK citizens £233m

We don't need the human race to act on a massive scale, but we need enough of them to. The reforms George suggested are good too. It's not one single thing that will work, but lots of good different things, and some half good things.
There a far more climate successes outside of COP than in, focus on the groups pushing for change outside of that.
Thats my own reccomendation. For UK @zero-hour.bsky.social @stopcambo.bsky.social are a great place to start.
So, it seems the scientific community's standard approaches aren't exactly working
But there are other ways, and the evidence suggests they work - wanna try?
Even worse is that from some on the ground interviews, it seems that many were out protesting not for that issue alone and many were out because of the poor pay that farmers deal with, it's just that because the Clarkson was decided by the media as being a main spokesperson, thats all we heard about

So many important points made here Nick - It's easy to forget the carbon footprint of just existing in your home, particularly when it's his cold! But this is one of those issues that if dealt with properly would have some massive benefits for people and the environment.
New platform, same fight ✊
We're going to stop the Rosebank oil field and all new fossil fuel projects ❌🛢
In 2021, we successfully stopped the Cambo oil field by making Shell pull out of the project. We can do it again.

Its also not "retreating into a bubble" to want to interact with people properly.
How is anyone supposed to use a platform flooded with people who are clearly not interested in a conversation at all and are left completely unmoderated?
Hey Bluesky, I am excited by all the energy coalescing on this platform. It seems like a place for strategic thinking, which we badly need.
A few initial thoughts:
🧵
All this thread shows is how mixed up the country is. 18% favorability for Adrian Ramsay, with 28% highest favorability being Farage feels like there some easy work in persuading people away from Reform.
He wouldn't know I guess, he's never there
Hopefully it won't be consumers who get lumped with the bill, 'cause if it won't be paid for with money, they will pay in severe hose pipe bans and water shortages due to failing infrastructure.
This was such a great campaign win for so many of us and I hope encouragement for climate campaigners who have been pushing barclay's to divest from fossil fuels for many years.
There is the @takebackwater.bsky.social campaign that is worth supporting on this
Feels like banning Fossil Fuel lobbyists should be more of a priority - how will the UN define a country that wants to make progress on this?
Great reporting from COP and happy to atleast see these conversations happening...
Its been a week since the @ethical-consumer.bsky.social conference in London. It was a full day of discussions around degrowth/post-growth with some really amazing organisations!
It was no small feat for our small team to organise and felt very nice to see a full room of people chatting away 🙂
Hello Bluesky 👋 joining to see what all the fuss is about!
