Bravo, President Biden!! for getting the global conversation back on track, re: climate solutions and post-Covid economic recovery. However, we're going to need much more than infrastructure rebuilds and a green economy. The UN, the World Economic Forum, and loads of science make that clear.
We need a broader, more realistic vision for protecting and restoring the planetary life support system currently in crisis and under attack by "degenerative" 20th century economics.
It's not just the climate we must save. It's the living, physical infrastructure of our biosphere.
These places and their services:
Protecting and regrowing the mostbiodiverse, mostproductive places on Earth would not only absorb enough carbon to keep the world below the global warming threshold, it would save biodiversity, advance human rights, and fix a lot of a lot of climate services technology cannot.
But how in the world can we stop today's self-destructive economy and reverse so many challenging social negatives all at once?
Here's a vision
for all people.
The change we're asking for.

Biospheric Reformation
We need 21st century economics today, wherein the private sector invests in, aligns with, repairs, and re-integrates the physical necessities of our only biosphere. A "Fifth Industrial Revolution."

Chris Searles, founder/director, BioIntegrity, and author of this email, will be presenting a fast-paced, 20-minute lecture on this vision in two weeks. Stay tuned for info.
Thanks to Alice Spencer, Carolyn Melendez, Tawny Graf, Dalton Wade, and Dave Davis for their volunteer help.
Lots more to come!
Help protect biodiversity and climate services technology cannot replace.
Save Monarchs: $0.52 an acre
Showcased last week, donating to this project offers more bang for your buck than any other climate solution. With automatic donation-match, a $10 gift protects 100s of trees and nearly 500 tons CO2. These Monarch migration habitats are some of the last pristine forests in Mexico, harboring 281 bird, 132 mammal, 45 amphibian, 142 reptile, and +4,000 plant species. Hurry, it's nearly funded.

Choose "Saving Mexico's Biodiversity Stronghold."
A logical response to the environmental crisis.
