Savory on Holistic Management

Thanks for focussing on mgmt. that is the cause of desertification & climate change A word of caution though Holistic Management is not about managing our environment. It is about managing humans, nature & economy together - the 3 things we manage. https://t.co/V2Y1FPrDpS https://t.co/J2iLuHSACJ

The debate about cattle and climate change continues...

Regenerative grazing can turn livestock production from being one of the major contributors to climate change into one of the largest solutions to climate change.https://t.co/qzyNl6JTln

Has anyone done the math on the amount of flatulence produced by human beings?

To be followed by it's smaller cousin H.sapiens losing 100% of its habitat through the same cause - resource management mainly at level of government & environmental organization policies. https://t.co/OttboconbT

Raj Patel's grift...

She Really Is an Useful Idiot

Sad to see well-meaning Greta now an unapproachable celebrity regurgitating adult beliefs - not a dot connected between climate change and cause. Not a word about addressing the cause of climate change so not the slightest hope for future generations. https://t.co/JrEDi2ONpy
