Another world is possible
Words
are powerful and can shape our understanding. Dull words like ‘environment’ don’t
sparkle. Scientist George Monbiot argues that , “If we called protected areas ‘places of natural wonder’, we would
not only speak to people’s love of nature but also establish an aspiration that
conveys what they ought to be. Let’s stop using the word environment, and use
terms such as ‘living planet’ and ‘natural world’ instead, as they allow us to
form a picture of what we are describing. Let’s abandon the term climate change
and start saying ‘climate breakdown’. Instead of extinction, let’s adopt the
word promoted by the lawyer Polly Higgins: ecocide.”
