Hi John,

Caroline Lucas MP and Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics, are teaming up for an online event next week Thursday 2 September to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Lorax. They will be joined by Richard Benwell, CEO of Wildlife and Countryside Link, to explore how our obsession with economic growth (biggering) is destroying nature - and what we can do about it.

We'll be asking:

🌎What does the economy have to do with saving nature and restoring biodiversity?

🌎What does The Lorax teach us about how we run our economy and what needs to change?

🌎Where does nature fit into Doughnut Economics?

And there'll be time for you to ask your questions and contribute ideas during the event too!

As Greta Thunberg told world leaders in 2019: “We are in the beginning of mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth”. Now is the time for governments to act.

Are you coming?

As Greens we know that the endless pursuit of economic growth is destroying our planet and accelerating rampant inequality. That's why we are asking you to sign a petition demanding that the government moves towards a Wellbeing Economy, putting people and planet first. We need 100,000 signatures for it to be debated in Parliament -- can you put your name down?

See you there!

-- Green Team 💚

P.S. Nearly 3,000 people have joined our movement in the last few weeks. Together we are holding the government to account, demanding justice for refugees and taking real action on the climate. Are you with us?
