Listen "War is NOT Green"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode of our ecosocialist podcast, we expose the deep ties between militarism, imperialism, and ecological destruction. Titled "War Is Not Green," this episode challenges the illusion that war and environmentalism can ever coexist—especially as U.S. and Israeli military campaigns escalate across the globe.Grounded in a Leninist framework and infused with Unitarian Universalist values of justice and interconnectedness, we explore how war serves capitalist interests at the expense of people and the planet. We dig into hard science and current events, including the ongoing Israeli bombardment of Iran and Gaza, revealing the environmental devastation—from oil fires to water contamination—that accompanies every missile strike.We uplift Palestinian and Iranian voices, challenge the greenwashing of war, and reject false solutions like "eco-friendly bombs" or "sustainable militaries." Instead, we call for international solidarity, divestment from weapons manufacturers, and revolutionary transformation that puts life before profit.This episode is both a lament and a call to action: faith communities, climate activists, and anti-imperialists must unite to stop the war machine—not just for peace, but for planetary survival.Follow us to stay in touch and help build ecosocialism:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@UUEcoSocialistNetwork⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3Av0Cc2⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠tinyurl.com/UUESN⁠⁠Reach out for more info: ⁠⁠[email protected]
