I told the tech guy this story; it was my go-to story that I was sure would convince anyone of the value of nature. His response was this: ‘But if you could make $500 million a year by turning the watershed into a business park, you could easily pay to clean the water, plus you’d have more money and business.’. I was shocked.

ESG is a signal, not a solution.

Yes, ESG is problematic, too many companies are using it to look good without fundamentally changing but let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater. The rise in ESG investing is a signal of demand for better. A demand for a financial system that recognises that it is inextricably connected to the physical and human world.

There's a big question that's being ignored. A question that's been vaguely swimming around my head for a while that finally found form today: "Can everyone on this planet live a comfortable, happy life while staying within the planetary boundaries?".

I want to talk about a bug-bear. How exclusive sustainability is…

The Climate Crisis and sustainability caters to people like me: white and middle class. But I didn’t grow up middle class, and the messaging and drive for people to buy better is infuriating to my childhood self.
