Nathalie Kelley Instagram – Now that I’ve proven that the algorithm is not a fan of my geo-political commentary – I’m going to lean into the soft power of my sensuality and love of Latin music to discuss the elephant in the room at COP – Globali$ation. The main reason we are in this climate cri$is is because our global economy is built on the false promise of infinite growth. All this talk of carbon capture and replacing fo$$il fuels with renewables is not going to magically solve things. We have to question and gently dismantle this whole global economic system that has us importing and exporting the same items around the world, destroying biodiversity and extracting “commodities” from nature while causing great ecological harm. The answer to globali$ation lies in moving towards LOCAL economies and creating resilient regional food systems. For example – we could cut 15% of carbon emissions if companies like @nestle @cargill @proudtobebunge didn’t exist and we went back to local, diversified food systems built to nourish the people of that region. The globali$ed food system is a huge contribution to carbon emissions and biggest driver of biodiversity loss globally – yet their emissions are considered untouchable in these climate negotiations. We need to ask ourselves why? Why do these industries have more power than our elected leaders? We never chose them to be making decisions that effect the future of all Life on Earth. This conversation will be continued in subsequent posts but in the meantime – check out the work of @helenanorberghodge and @localfutures_ to learn more. 🌶️💃🏽 #chacha #cachaitolopez
