The. latest email from the Green Party! I need to teach myself to understand what it is all about!!

Questions!

What is  Doughnut Economics?

What does "biggering " mean?

What is the Lorax?

What did Dr Seuss ,writer of books for children, say about all this?

I have already used the good old internet to look for answers so I'll try to answer my own questions soon!

Hi David,   Caroline Lucas MP and Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics, are teaming up for an online event next week Thursday 2 September to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Lorax. They will be joined by Richard Benwell, CEO of Wildlife and Countryside Link, to explore how our obsession with economic growth (biggering) is destroying nature - and what we can do about it.    We'll be asking:   🌎What does the economy have to do with saving nature and restoring biodiversity?   🌎What does The Lorax teach us about how we run our economy and what needs to change?   🌎Where does nature fit into Doughnut Economics?   And there'll be time for you to ask your questions and contribute ideas during the event too!   As Greta Thunberg told world leaders in 2019: “We are in the beginning of mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth”. Now is the time for governments to act.   Are you coming?

SIGN UP TO ATTEND THE EVENT

As Greens we know that the endless pursuit of economic growth is destroying our planet and accelerating rampant inequality. That's why we are asking you to sign a petition demanding that the government moves towards a Wellbeing Economy, putting people and planet first. We need 100,000 signatures for it to be debated in Parliament -- can you put your name down?

SIGN THE PETITION

See you there!   -- Green Team 💚
