Brief Ecology turns 3 this month, and to celebrate, everything we’ve published is 40% off with discount code “3YEARS”! All proceeds go towards paying our contributing writers. Help us create a more ecological society 🌎 www.briefecology.com/shop

I just realized that @briefecology.bsky.social is turning 3 years old this month, and maybe I’m a little biased but that feels like a better thing to celebrate than the embarrassment that is the US right now. I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done so far. And lots more to come. ✊️ 🌎️

I have mixed feelings about the Global Justice Platform, so I wrote a few words about it

Brief Ecology@briefecology.bsky.social · last mo.

The recently published Global Justice Platform is a moderate attempt to decarbonize and tax wealth, at the global scale. It's also probably the best deal capitalism will get in the long term. 🌎 @benlockwood.bsky.social writes for Brief Ecology about the platform's strengths and weaknesses

Private markets can't deliver a rapid #decarbonization of the economy. It's internal features prevent the coordination required to transform production. 🌎 @brusselermel.bsky.social writes for Brief Ecology: Decarbonization Is a Coordination Problem – and Private Markets Can't Solve It.

Capitalism is a dictatorship of profit. The subservience of all else to growth is antithetical to democracy. An ecological society should reflect the diversity and complexity that ecosystems naturally produce, and true democracy is what allows that diversity to flourish. www.briefecology.com

The bond covers the cost of cleaning up the damage left by abandoned oil/gas wells; that cost would fall on taxpayers who are already paying a fortune for gas and utilities. And methane is a super pollutant: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/c... (gift). We'll have an opportunity to object. 🌎

Interior Department Moves to Relax Rules for Drilling on Public Lands

Because US oil and gas companies are struggling to survive on their historic profits, Trump is (1) lowering the cost from $500,000 to $25,000 of the bonds companies pay when purchasing a drilling lease and (2) eliminating the requirement that companies detail their plans to limit methane emissions.
