• For more on the environmental problems with economic growth, you can listen to a very recent discussion Nick did on Freedom of Species with Meghan Street from Green Left Radio, which covered this topic, the Melbourne Climate Strike, plus a critical examination of environmental vegan activism: MEGHAN STREET – CONNECTING ANIMAL ACTIVISM WITH ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENTS.

Our latest show is up! Featuring activist Meghan Street, host of @greenleftweekly Radio on @3CR, who discusses the recent Global #ClimateStrike marches and how #vegan activists can better connect with environmental and Left movements. https://t.co/28j73dYUBk

• Upcoming conferences in Melbourne: Animal Activists Forum and Liberated Futures.

I'm looking forward to speaking at the Animal Activists Forum! I'll be drawing on sociological concepts to look into the question of who is to blame for harm to animals? Plus giving suggestions for animal advocacy. Forum is 19-20 October in #Melbourne, more info: @ActivistsForum pic.twitter.com/vJuIYfMtPP
