Brazilian activist Chico Mendes famously said that “Environmentalism without class struggle is just gardening.” His quote is often used to highlight the necessity for intersectionality within climate activism, so that environmental movements truly fight for intersectional climate justice.

However, it also underestimates the radical power of gardening. What happens when you mix gardening with both class and queer struggles? Spaces like TopSoil emerge.

Or we will not make it.I have no idea how to describe the political econony of the governments moving quickest.I am sure hopeful democracy gets hand the US.The AUS labour government, like my Canadian government is betraying us all with paltry effort replacing carbon.We cant wait for a "socialist utopia" to end carbon.Happy to help make the economy serve us all, not billionaires, too. Climate change is child hanging from fingers priority.
