One of the features of the Earth Talk Community is a podcast, of interviews with people who work in public settings for eco-social change. This interview is with Sean Irving, who researches community-based economic strategies for long-term systemic change, with a focus on Cooperation Hull.

Eco/climate/creative folks! I would so recommend joining this community. As well as connecting with others engaged in creative work in response to the Earth crisis, there is access to many excellent resources developed by @bridgetmck.bsky.social This is needed now more than ever. Do join us!

Are you starting to have more environmental chats but finding them a struggle? Do you want to include the Earth Crisis in how you engage with people & do your work? Want more creative & effective methods? I've worked really hard for 4 years to create the Earth Talk community of practice.

I keep seeing people diminish Epstein, like “we’re focusing on a single sex offender but it’s a distraction.” He trafficked 1000+, ran a kompromat factory likely trading to Israel & Russia. It’s a lens onto a conspiracy of extreme colonisation of bodies & lands with devastating impacts on all life.
