Hi Kirsten! To everyone, Kirsten runs the Field, Farm & Forest Living Skool group, which covers reconnecting with the seasons for eating habits. This issue is huge when it comes to reducing "food miles" - the distance our food travels to reach our tables. If you eat seasonally, you are eating food that is grown locally, which supports local growers and reduces CO2 emissions. To do this, you need to know what grows in each season and what to cook with what you can find. Kirsten covers all of that and the connection between what you eat and your health. Kisten, please feel free to correct me! And please tell us where you are from and your level of engagement with solving the Climate Crisis.

Thank you for signing up. This is a good time to join as the entire system is now open for viewing. Start with Level 0 in the classroom so you can see my perspective and decide if you like the direction I am taking. I am always open to new ideas and insights that I may have missed, so please share your point of view and feel free to suggest how this could be improved. Since you are already leading a camp, it’s clear you are a leader and have wrestled with how to bring about change and help others grow. That’s exactly what I value, and your opinions will be appreciated. Welcome aboard! Please share with us where you are from and let us know your concerns and hopes for solving the climate crisis.

Hi Marcus - welcome to Has2BGreen! I have had a look at your group and love its aspiration. I wish you focus and steady growth. One of the debates going on in my mind is: do you fix what is broken, or build a new thing that makes it redundant? (Buckminster Fuller style) My thinking is that the first step is to understand where we are. Currently, I am creating a map of the situation so that we understand the system we are in and its impact on our planet. As part of this, I always aim to identify constructive steps needed to develop a replacement. But the full plan is still evolving. I'd love to hear your insights, suggestions and comments. Please share where you are in the world, what you want to see the world do to solve this issue and any ideas of where you think we should start. In the Classroom, you will find the start of the courses - there is a lot of material in there already, and more is on its way. There are many non-course-related sections - data on climate-related leaders, books, ideas and technologies. A library of good stuff. Welcome aboard.

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’s release is Lesson 4 in our billionaire–climate series: How CEOs Build Massive Wealth — through equity, not salary. This lesson often surprises people because it reveals something most of us never see: CEO wealth doesn’t come from pay. It comes from shares — and from the system designed to make those shares explode in value. This is the mechanism that turns corporate decisions into a personal wealth engine, and explains why CEOs are incentivised to push for extraction, monopoly, and cutting corners — even when the public or the planet pays the price. 👉 Start the lesson here 🔥 What you’ll learn today This lesson walks through the real process behind CEO wealth: - CEOs earn shares, not income - Rising share prices increase their wealth dramatically - Borrowing against shares allows tax-free spending - Expansion through acquisitions boosts stock prices further - The cycle repeats, compounding wealth - You’ll see how this creates a powerful feedback loop: CEO incentives → share-price obsession → more extraction → more emissions → more CEO wealth It’s not personal greed. It’s built into the design of the system. 💬 Your Activity for Today Question: Have you ever seen a company make decisions that clearly boosted the share price but harmed workers, customers, or the environment? Think: - layoffs right before earnings - sudden price hikes - poor safety investments - mergers that reduced quality - cost cuts that made things worse - short-term wins with long-term damage - Share even a small example — it helps others connect the dots. 🌱 Tomorrow’s Drop Lesson 5: How Taxes Are Avoided Legally — and why it’s all perfectly structured to be that way.
