Let’s fucking go!!! 2 down and we’re only half way through January :canparrot:
Just finished my book club’s February title “In The Buddha’s Words” by Bhikkhu Bodhi, and I gotta say, if only for the fresh perspective on life, it’s definitely worth a read. It’s a little long, and long-winded, but if you can stay focused it’s super interesting!

This is a much more inconvenient truth. Paving over and sterilizing the living planet for farms and cities is climate change.
Industrial agriculture and cities are a deep problem. They must be transformed.
