This week, I'm pondering: SHOULD I BE WRITING THIS This week, I'm pondering: SHOULD I BE WRITING THIS DOWN?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #LetterFromTheEditor by Green Queen Sonalie Figueiras. Illustration by @chuabone for Green Queen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've had some really wonderful feedback from last week's letter with people the world overwriting to share their media diet with me and it's been heartening to see how many people out there do consider the context of what they are reading/listening/watching.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Over the past week, I've been thinking about the period we are living in, in the context of human history. A global pandemic forcing a heretofore unseen stalling/lockdown of the world economy, a massive shift on the political stage as China claims its throne and the US struggles to maintain its influence, a rise in populism across the planet and accompanying power grabs by terrifyingly cruel demagogues, the fall of heretofore lauded liberal democratic values, a sea change in consumerism and of course, an environmental crisis of epic proportions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ History (as mostly white, mostly powerful men have recorded it) has shown us that this is hardly the first time such chaos abounds. But I will venture to say that we are absolutely living through a massive metamorphosis of economic, political and planetary proportions and for many of us, this has meant and will mean huge psychological turmoil. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I urge you: write down your thoughts. Take stock, record your reactions, purge what's inside your head onto a screen/notebook near you...because when the dust settles a few years from now, you will want to remember everything you felt today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ABOUT THE ARTWORK: Polar Bear Extinction⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (➕ IN COMMENTS 👇🏻)
Have you ever thought about the time when (plant-b Have you ever thought about the time when (plant-based) 3D printed food would be a thing? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍣 A team of students, known as @legendary_vish, are now developing 3D printed plant-based salmon.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍣 Their goal is to offer a healthy, tasty and sustainable substitute for different types of seafood. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍣 Legendary Vish plans to use mushroom and pea protein, as well as starch, agar-agar and plant-based omega-3 ingredients such as nut or seed oils in their first 3D printed salmon prototype.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍣 For the group, the ultimate mission is to develop an alternative that can replace the need for unsustainable industrial fishing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍣 Not only would it help bolster food security and prevent external supply shocks, switching to alternative proteins would help to dramatically reduce humanity’s environmental footprint in the long-term, ➕ also benefit the global environment as it would alleviate the need for traditional animal agriculture and its accompanied greenhouse gas emissions.
“The Food-supply Chain Is Breaking”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌱 Americans are nearing a future where the nation’s beloved steak dinners, cheeseburgers and barbecue are under threat if the world’s second-largest meat processor is to be believed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌱 Issues with factory farming are well-documented. Slaughterhouses are one of the most dangerous workplaces in the country; employers often exploit a mostly immigrant workforce; increasing line speeds threaten food and worker safety, and meat consumption is a huge drain on the environment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌱 The alternatives, meanwhile, appear to be thriving in the wake of the outbreak.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌱 Did Covid19 push the process for a future where meat is not at the centre of every meal?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #meatfree #foodsystem #altprotein #futureoffood #alternativeprotein #carbonemissions #ecoliving #crueltyfree #consciousliving #meatshortage #foodshortage #foodwaste #climatechange #climatecrisis #climatesolutions #dietchange #eatmoreplants #plantbaseddiet #lowwasteliving #plantbased #breakfast #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #whatveganseat #veganfood #vegetarian #govegan #vegan #covid19

Who would have thought that the answer to a health Who would have thought that the answer to a healthier heart is that easy? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌾 While people following a plant-based diet already had an idea, a new study confirmes that swapping red meat out for whole food plant proteins such as pulses and grains can reduce the risk of deadly heart disease by 30%.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌾 These results are what researchers dubbed as an “inverse association” between higher consumption of plant-based foods and heart disease mortality rates.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌾 The most prominent inverse associations were recorded in the replacement of eggs and red meat with plant proteins. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ CLICK ON THE LINK IN BIO MORE @greenqueenhk⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #foodsystem #altprotein #futureoffood #alternativeprotein #carbonemissions #ecoliving #crueltyfree #consciousliving #foodsystem #foodshortage #foodwaste #climatechange #climatecrisis #climatesolutions #dietchange #eatmoreplants #plantbaseddiet #lowwasteliving #plantbased #breakfast #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #whatveganseat #veganfood #vegetarian #govegan

5️⃣7️⃣% Of Consumers Want Brands To Stand 5️⃣7️⃣% Of Consumers Want Brands To Stand Up For The Planet 🌏💪🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The top three issues that consumers want brands to take a stand on our health, the environment and social equality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Analysts say that it marks a shift for businesses, who must now move away from a profit-led to value-led approach in order to remain in the good graces of shoppers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏼 The poll also found that 52% of consumers want brands to specifically back social justice and equity issues, while 57% of respondents said that companies need to stand up for environmental and sustainability matters. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏼 Amid the coronavirus crisis, it is unsurprising that health topped the list of issues that brands should take a stand on, with 63% of respondents choosing it as the top concern. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s clear from this latest piece of research is that it has never been more vital for companies’ strategies to price in principles and purpose and move away from the business-as-usual approach that has for years perpetuated global problems, from the climate to equality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #foodsystem #altprotein #futureoffood #alternativeprotein #carbonemissions #ecoliving #crueltyfree #consciousliving #foodsystem #foodshortage #foodwaste #climatechange #climatecrisis #climatesolutions #dietchange #eatmoreplants #plantbaseddiet #lowwasteliving #plantbased #breakfast #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #whatveganseat #veganfood #vegetarian #govegan
This week, I'm pondering: WHAT'S YOUR MEDIA DIET?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #LetterFromTheEditor by Green Queen Sonalie Figueiras. Illustration by @chuabone for Green Queen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last week I received an angry email about my Editor's Letter and about what they perceived to be my lack of hopefulness for the future (somewhat fair) and my addiction to click-bait mainstream media (not so fair). This and all the latest coverage of Facebook's immensely worrying role in the upcoming US election and in UK national politics (read all the July 26 Guardian coverage on the Link In Bio) got me thinking about media diets. Namely, what's mine and what's yours?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The reader was actually sorely mistaken. I don't watch YouTube (I know, I know, I'm so analogue- I actually prefer reading to watching. So sue me). I don't read the BBC or CNN or most mainstream media from any of the countries I hail from or have lived in (#thirdculturekid here). In fact news story formats rarely interest me. I am an avid fan of long-form journalism, opinion-editorials, critical analysis and in-depth interviews. I require context, supporting evidence and a complex argument if I'm going to get engaged with a feature. Obviously I'm a media nerd. I love research (hello, liberal arts major)- that's one of the reasons I run a media company.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But enough about me. Let's talk about YOUR media diet. What is it? Have you thought about it recently? Where do most of your news come from? Are you choosing what you read actively, or imbibing what's shared on your feed(s) passively? Are you aware of the agenda of the writer/creator of what you're consuming? Are most of what you think about decided by an algorithm you have zero control over?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (➕ IN COMMENTS 👇🏻)
