This is my first article but also a call for action.
There are ways to live healthier and more fulfilling lives while building a more socially just society that respects planetary boundaries.

Adding this book to the top of my summer reading list (I'm in Australia so that starts soon).
Looking forward to reading this as I'm sure there are strong parellels with Aust as well.

It’s cheaper to poach health workers from other countries than it is to train more ourselves and from a neoliberal perspective this is a good “business model”. It is another sign of how we have abandoned our own young people to casual, insecure work. theguardian.com/society/2022…
