I’m not one of those nihilistic “there’s NOTHING us consumers can do!!!” people nor am I one of those anti-vegan bacon cultists but I’m seeing a lot of discourse about this and people on both sides need to be aware of something:
The beef industry is only the leader in Amazon deforestation because it is the highest bidder right now. For half a decade that was exceeded by soy production and in Indonesia the biggest rainforest killer is palm oil. Rainforest land that isn’t sold directly for some kind of food production gets cut down anyway because they still sell the timber and then the land is auctioned away to whoever will take it, even if it’s practically pennies, because the people holding that land have made a profit either way and a corporation that buys it for cheap is almost guaranteed to get some kind of use out of it or find someone else who wants it. Changing your diet will do absolutely nothing. Neither will boycotting paper and wood products. If they couldn’t even give the logs away they would raze the land and, again, just sell it for the corporate equivalent of a nickel. Protecting the land, period, is the only thing that makes a difference. The only thing. THE ONLY thing. ONE THING.

34,000 deaths is clearly an appalling undercount when watchdog groups learn about mass graves like this every week.
hello everyone! @siraj2024 and his family are in desperate need of help right now. they've been forced to relocate SIX TIMES in the past few months due to massacres and bombings by the IOF. siraj’s 3 children have been robbed of their childhoods by this violence and injustice, and they are living in a tent and lacking basic necessities.
siraj has set a shorter term goal of 10k so he and his family can relocate once again to a safer location, which isn't cheap. they are currently at 7,274 CAD out of 10k. if you donate in currencies that are worth more than CAD (like USD and EUR) even small amounts will go a long way!
they have only received 4 donations in the past 7 hours. i know we can help more! thank you for hearing out siraj's story!
Just one day after my brother died in the bombing, I suffered a severe hemorrhage that ultimately led to my birth inside the tent without any medical care, without my husband, without my family, only my child and my baby. The reason I survive is my children. The pain of my brother's death was greater than the pain of my daughter's birth. Please any amount that will save my children's lives
