This month I’ve decided to participate in an event called “October,” where for every day in October I’m going to experience a day in October.

Here’s the prompt list I’m using in case anyone wants to join me in this challenge:

Next month I’m thinking of trying out the “No November November” challenge, where I’ll refrain from experiencing November for the whole month of November.

An Interesting Fact About Peanuts, while we’re on the topic of food-plants:

Peanuts-you-eat grow underground, but they are NOT part of the peanut plant’s roots. Peanut plants are ambitious little fuckers and plant their seeds themselves. They flower like any perfectly reasonable legume, but once the flowers have been pollinated the plants do something called “pegging” (no really), in which they drill the stems where the flowers used to be into the ground. And that’s where the peanuts you eat form. Like so:

With the IPCC report and climate change in the news, a couple of reminders are due:

"The wealthiest 5% alone – the so-called “polluter elite” - contributed 37% of emissions growth between 1990 and 2015."

World's wealthiest 'at heart of climate problem'

The so-called “polluter elite” must change their lifestyles to tackle climate change, a report says.

"Luxury consumption by the rich concentrates economic activity and delivers negligible extra wellbeing, yet sucks up vast amounts of resources."

Why a more equal world would be easier to decarbonise

Demand would shift from luxuries to necessities.

"Affluent individuals can emit several ten thousand times the amount of greenhouse gases attributed to the global poor."

Bill Gates, Climate Warrior. And Super Emitter.

The billionaire’s new book, a bid to be taken seriously as a climate campaigner, has attracted the usual worshipful coverage. When will the

"Half of all our economic activity – all the mines, all the factories, all the power stations, all the shipping, and all of the ecological impact that’s associated with these things – is done to make rich people richer."

We can’t have billionaires and stop climate change

Ecological breakdown isn’t being caused by everyone equally. If we are going to survive the 21st century, we need to distribute income and w

"The wealthiest 0.54%, about 40 million people, are responsible for 14% of lifestyle-related greenhouse gas emissions."

Affluence is killing the planet, warn scientists

We need to move towards ‘sufficiency-oriented’ lifestyles.

The rich are primarily to blame for the global climate crisis!

Climate change: The rich are to blame, international study finds

The Leeds University study looked at 86 countries and came to broadly the same conclusions about the rich.

"The world’s superyacht fleet uses over thirty-two million gallons of oil and produces 627 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions a year . The world’s superyachts consume and pollute more than entire nations."

The Rich Are Committing Crimes Against Nature

Mansions, superyachts, luxury cars, and private jets produce more carbon emissions than whole countries. Researchers are calling it “green c

"The grim truth is that the rich are able to live as they do only because others are poor: there is neither the physical nor ecological space for everyone to pursue private luxury."

For the sake of life on Earth, we must put a limit on wealth | George Monbiot

Increased spending power leads to environmental damage. It’s time for a radical plan, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The wealthy pose our single biggest obstacle to environmental progress.

The World Would Be a Better Place Without the Rich

They coarsen our culture, erode our economic future, and diminish our democracy. The ultra-rich have no redeeming social value.

"The people who are actively cranking up the global thermostat and threatening to drown 20 percent of the global population are the billionaires in the boardrooms."

Billionaires Are the Leading Cause of Climate Change

As the world faces environmental disaster on a biblical scale, it's important to remember exactly who brought us here.

There no undivided, undifferentiated "humanity" that caused climate change. It is the fault of the ultra-rich, of capitalism, and of an economic system that prioritises growth over all else.

A better world is possible. It doesn't include rich people.
