Western water is precious and limited. The thirstiest crop, alfalfa, has no real place in the West. It’s great to see the Editorial board of @sltrib calling for an end to water guzzling alfalfa in Utah.

87% of Utah water goes to farming - largely alfalfa, much of which is exported. In the drought impacted West, growing livestock feed, draining water reserves for cows, isn’t viable

We need to protect western watersheds for wildlife, for people, for life in the West.

Whether humans can survive climate change is not the only question we should be asking.

How we can heal the biosphere and practice an ethics of care for the world we live in is another.

We ask whether the world will function for us in the future. But Earth is a living system of which humans are but one part.

In the biodiversity crisis, an ethic of care means seeing wildlife not as scenery but as relatives.

My most recent food & biodiversity newsletter Food X.

#Food & #climate policy matters urgently. But the climate doesn’t = the totality of the #environment. Emissions are just one part of an environmental footprint.

#Biodiversity loss affects all life on Earth. Is the tunnel vision on carbon overriding media, funding & research? How is it shaping our relationships to #nature and #wildlife if it is collateral damage in the fight to mitigate #climatechange?
