    My beloved friend #PollyHiggins (1968-2019) spent her last 10 years advocating for an international crime of #ECOCIDE. Today’s her birthday, & 20 yrs after opening its doors, the ICC is at last seriously discussing ecocide. Happy Birthday Polly. Remembering you with love.💚

    Every nation ALREADY HAS a criminal justice system. Add a crime of #ECOCIDE and that system can protect the Earth. It’s not about #climate negotiation. It’s about jail time for destroying the planet. stopecocide.earth #HappyNewDecade

    Climate agreements and civil laws have failed to prevent escalating harm to the Earth. A criminal law of ECOCIDE would criminalise practices known to destroy ecosystems and/or exacerbate climate...

    Good to know UK courts uphold the rule of law even when the law enforcers don't. Highlights that our police force is flummoxed by XR's style of peaceful, even loving civil disobedience. @XRebellionUK @CarolineLucas @GeorgeMonbiot @DavidEDrew @XRlawyers

    2 years ago today, my dearest friend & closest colleague, the remarkable @PollyHiggins, departed this life. I loved her - for her practicality, razor-sharp intellect, warmth & mischievousness; her compassion, idealism & perseverance & for her unshakeable belief in a better world.
