I’ve just released a new module in the classroom: The Climate Emergency Switch This module explores a question many of us keep circling: If governments can move at lightning speed for war or a pandemic…why does climate action still move so slowly? Inside this module, we look at: - why democratic systems are designed to delay - how governments override that delay in real emergencies - what the pandemic revealed about fast political action - the six triggers that flip a system into emergency mode - and what would need to change for climate to be treated with the same urgency - This isn’t about panic or blame. It’s about understanding how power actually moves — so we stop shouting at the wrong parts of the system and start applying pressure where it matters. 📘 The Climate Emergency Switch is now live in the Classroom. Take it at your own pace. It’s designed to bring clarity, not overwhelm. As always, I’d love to hear: - what surprised you - what challenged your assumptions - or where this connects with what you’re seeing in the real world - This module is about recognising that speed is possible —and learning how systems decide when to use it.

A new module called "The Political Components" is now live in the classroom. This module looks behind the curtain at how politics actually works — not how it’s presented during elections, but how decisions are really shaped long before the public ever gets a vote. Across this module, we explore: - who really sets party agendas - how candidates are selected and filtered - how money and lobbying shape policy - why elections feel open but often change very little - what happens once politicians enter government - how laws are written, diluted, delayed, or quietly killed - why climate action struggles inside this system - and how pressure sometimes breaks through anyway - This isn’t a party-political attack, and it isn’t about cynicism. It’s about political literacy — understanding the machinery so we can engage with it intelligently rather than naively. If you’ve ever wondered: “Why does everyone say the right things about climate… but nothing seems to change?” This module gives you the missing context. 📘 You’ll find The Political Components in the Classroom. Take your time with it — it’s dense, but it’s designed to give you clarity, not overwhelm. As always, I’m interested in: - what challenged your assumptions - what confirmed your experience - and where you think the real leverage points are - This module is about seeing the board clearly — before deciding how to play.

I’ve just released a new free module inside Has2BGreen. It’s not about facts, targets, or what you “should” be doing. It’s about something we rarely name: how the climate crisis feels. This module explores: - Climate grief — mourning futures, places, and certainties we’re losing - Guilt — personal, inherited, imposed, and weaponised - Blame — who gets blamed, who avoids it, and how blame fragments us - There’s no demand to “stay positive”. No instruction to “do more”. No judgement about where you are. This is a space to acknowledge what many of us are already carrying, often silently. If you’ve felt: - Heavy after reading the news - Ashamed for not doing enough — or angry at being told you’re the problem - Numb, tired, or unsure how to hold all of this …this module is for you. It’s offered freely, as part of Has2BGreen, because emotional literacy is not a luxury, it’s part of resilience. You don’t need to finish it. You don’t need to agree with everything. You don’t need to share anything publicly. Just know it’s there, when you’re ready. 👉 You’ll find it inside the classroom now.

Hi everyone, After ten days of lessons — and a bonus lesson to tie it all together — the entire Billionaire Mechanisms course is now complete and ready for you to explore at your own pace. This series looks beyond headlines and personality stories and focuses instead on the systemic mechanisms that create extreme wealth — and how those same mechanisms shape our politics, our economy, and our climate future. To make it easy to review everything in one place, I’ve created a single-page visual summary of all 10 core lessons + the bonus lesson. It’s included below. This sheet gives you a quick snapshot of: - how companies externalise costs - how monopolies emerge - why shareholder pressure matters so much - how CEO wealth is amplified - how tax avoidance is structured - how lobbying shapes the rules - why debt and leverage accelerate growth - how public money fuels private gain - how all these mechanisms reinforce each other - what this means for the climate - and whether ethical billionaire wealth is possible It’s a map you can refer back to anytime. 👉 You can now access the full course here 💬 I’d love to hear from you As you revisit the lessons, I’d be interested to know: Which mechanism surprised you the most — and which one feels most connected to the climate crisis? Your reflections help others see the system more clearly, and they shape what we build next inside Has2BGreen.

Today we’re releasing a special bonus lesson in the billionaire - climate series: Is Ethical Billionaire Wealth Possible? — separating personal virtue from systemic design. This lesson tackles the question that almost everyone asks at some point in the series:“ But what about the good ones?” “What about the generous billionaires?” “Can’t someone be rich and ethical?” This lesson gives a clear and grounded answer — and it reframes the entire conversation. 👉 Start the lesson here: 🔥 What you’ll learn today In this lesson, we explore the difference between personal ethics and system requirements. You’ll learn why billionaire status requires: - global scale - very low marginal costs - labour arbitrage or automation - externalised environmental costs - tax-minimising structures - financial engineering - favourable political conditions …and how each requirement functions like a filter, removing ethical pathways and rewarding extractive ones. The key insight: A person can be ethical. A billionaire cannot be created ethically inside the current system. The system is the issue — not the individual. We also explore what this means for climate justice, democracy, and the future of wealth. 💬 Your Activity for Today Question: Do you think billionaire wealth could ever be ethical — or does the structure of the system make that impossible? Why? You might reflect on: - the role of lobbying - global labour inequality - environmental costs - tax rules - shareholder pressure - monopolies - subsidies and public money - the difference between giving money away and how it was made - Even a short reflection can open up a powerful discussion.
