The environmental movement, ever since its inception in 1970, has gained tremendous recognition, mind-dizzying momentum and so much clout by not depending solely on one single strategy on the hope  that it would miraculously be auspicious or effective, but rather utilising a much more all-encompassing and holistic approach with a multitude of strategies and a diverse range of effective tactics and methods that were discovered after careful and forensic analysis of; how the wo

Dear valued members of the environmental movement, For over 53 years, we have been marching, striking, speaking, yelling and protesting in ingenious and creative ways; some sit on pavements, some walk on the street, some orate with utmost eloquent speeches, some host and organise discussion panels; we’ve all fought a most historic and legendary battle, partaking in what is arguably the most terrifically altruistic, righteous and conscious endeavour humans have ever undertook

Attention esteemed members of the environmental movement,             I know you all are tired, you've grown weary of the fight, you've just gotten sick of people's ignorance, and more patience-wreckingly, their pertinacious and perverse wilful determination to never change course and stay on that path they've been misguided and lulled into. However, I feel it behoves me to pose the question: Wouldn't it have been more auspicious and effective if we had embraced a path chara

“Political failure, is at heart, a failure of imagination; Social failure, in essence, is a failure of heart; Economic failure, is at its core, a failure of mindset; And educational failure, is fundamentally, a failure of vision.” -Yusuf Kemal

It is evident that COP meetings aren’t bearing any fruit, and their track record has not been very promising so far. It is expected that COP 28 will be, at best, no different, if not less inclusive and less genuine. Activists have been denouncing these meetings and dismissing them as ‘PR events’, and rightfully so; because after 27 iterations of these sham meetings, we’re still not on track to stay under 1.5 C of warming to preserve and safeguard posterity’s future. But, we h

The problem is that we, apparently, don't  realise that what we're doing is almost futile and in vain attempts at getting the world into order and real decisive action on climate and ecological crises.. because, we can spend a whole decade being proponents of Climate justice, spend a lifetime being advocates and a voice for our fragile and dear planet. However, politicians won't listen. You ever wondered why? Well, it all boils down to the simple fact that politicians are NOT

Everyone says that the rotten dinosaur (aka fossil fuel) industry is the criminal and flagitious culprit here, and nobody who has even the tiniest smidgen of an understanding of the climate and ecological crisis disputes this, but have we ever wondered why have we been failing and so ineffective in changing our civilizational trajectory? I understand how much effort and time, and how many sacrifices and attempts were made to save our beauteous planet, and those heroic and val

Ever thought why we always yearn for more money? Why do we always believe that money is and will continue to be our saviour, even if pursuing more money now will induce a climate breakdown and, consequently, conduce a calamitous apocalyptic end to our civilisation. To perceive why money will not save us in the eventuality of a climate-induced dystopia, let's conceive the following analogy. Let's say that you have stupendous amounts of money. And the climate calamity strikes a

Can we realistically solve a crisis without first taking care of the root causes of that crisis? Activism and marches are imperative and vital, they raise people's awareness. But, activism alone is highly unlikely to yield success in less than 7 years, which is the time left for expending our remaining CO2 budget, and reaching 1.5 C. We need people from inside the political sphere, well-known and reputable people, and perhaps even billionaires to speak up and join the movemen

I believe that we cannot solve a crisis without first resolving the root issues that plague it, i.e. solving it at the root level. But what is the root level? What is the root of all evil in the world? Well.. It is not just rapacious, corrupt and deceitful politicians running for "Blah, blah, blah" but it's also the big corps and billionaires, the big businesses, and the fossil fuel industry in particular. People say that this can't be solved because of our economic system is

What people, including politicians need to understand is, that the fossil fuel industry will meet its demise, sooner or later; it’s inevitable. It’s either going to be because we helped those in control of the fossil fuel companies change their businesses and corporations from fossil fuels energy to renewable energy, or it will be because fossil fuels have caused the demise of the human species and killed billions of people. So, then we’re left with the unsettling question of
