The Kurdistan Region is experiencing more frequent wildfires, fuelled by climate change. This summer, two people tragically lost their lives fighting a fire near Halabja. One of them was Ari. His brother, Bilal, kindly shared his story with me. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A thought-provoking read, arguing that capitalism, as the cause of the climate crisis, must be demolished if we are to save our Earth. Degrowth - recognize and live within the natural limits of our environment, while enriching our communities.
