In my last blog post I wrote about how I always feel like I don’t have enough time to act on the climate crisis because of the daily grind of our parenting routine. I think our whole relationship with time needs to change to tackle the problems we are facing, which in turn requires anContinue reading “Change our relationship to TIME”

Doomerism
I don’t know if maybe my more recent cartoons have been a bit doomerist (a term thrown around on twitter to people who say it’s too late to do anything about climate change). I’m not without hope when it comes to the future, and I certainly don’t want to hinder action on climate in anyContinue reading “Doomerism”
On va à la bibliothèque 2025
The French version my children’s story book:
Car(e)free
I’m still in the phase with my daughters that they believe everything I say, so when I tell them there will be no (private) cars when they grow up they think it’s true and not just something I really, really hope happens very soon.
A children’s story set in the future…

I especially love ‘The Baby’s Catalogue’ by Janet and Allan AhlbergContinue reading “Going to the library 2025”
‘Green’ Growth
I just finished reading ‘Prosperity without Growth: Foundations for the Economy of Tomorrow’ by Tim Jackson, which I highly recommend, and it inspired this cartoon.
Future Detective
Our cartoon course assignment this week was to draw something in black and white with a detective, a crime, a motive and a clue. I’d read a tweet from @DoctorVive that said: ‘ok, climate twitter: if you were to create a TV miniseries that foregrounded climate change, what would it look like?’ earlier that dayContinue reading “Future Detective”
Alternative Futures
I’ve been trying to think about the future I want, not just the future I don’t want:
Congratulations EU Referendum, you’ve got me politically engaged for the first time in my life, and now I’m a concerned housewife on the rampage
An open letter to George Osborne and David Cameron because I’ve been listening to the EU referendum arguments and have gotten completely confused about which way to vote- and I’m university educated, young(ish-32), and I live in Brussels. It should be a no brainer. And yet TTIP? What’s that all about? Why is lowering houseContinue reading “Congratulations EU Referendum, you’ve got me politically engaged for the first time in my life, and now I’m a concerned housewife on the rampage”
