In store now! Ending Fossil Fuels by Holly Jean Buck

In conjunction with COP-26, November sees us casting a light on the most pressing issue of the modern age: Climate Change. Off the back of her incredible event at the shop, we have Holly Jean Buck’s Ending Fossil Fuels: Why Net Zero Is Not Enough. In it, Buck explains how a focus on achieving ‘net zero’ carbon emissions on a State level detracts from what the real issue is: the point of production. Eternal growth, Capital, and ‘futures’ have become the buzz-words of a neo-liberal greenwashing economy, Holly Jean Buck’s essential Ending Fossil Fuels clarifies that we must embrace a rural-urban coalition, and that nothing short of a complete overhaul of our economic systems can stop the rising tides.

Ending Fossil Fuels by Holly Jean Buck 

Paperback £9.99

Around the world, countries and companies are setting net-zero carbon emissions targets. But what will it mean if those targets are achieved? One possibility is that fossil fuel companies will continue to produce billions of tons of atmospheric CO2 while relying on a symbiotic industry to scrub the air clean. Focusing on emissions draws our attention away from the real problem:  the point of production.  

The fossil fuel industry must come to an end but will not depart willingly; governments must intervene. By embracing a politics of rural-urban coalitions and platform governance, climate advocates can build the political power needed to nationalize the fossil fuel industry and use its resources to draw carbon out of the atmosphere.

We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store. 

We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
