    »We are at a turning point in human history. To stop climate breakdown and extinction,environmental movements need to be actively anti-racist and join struggles for social justice.«Carola RacketeIn 2019, Carola Rackete became publicly known for docking the sea rescue vessel »Sea-Watch 3« in Italy and thereby challenging a nationaldecree that contradicted internationalobligations to engage in sea rescue. Due to this act of civil disobedience and her public confrontation of the Italian far right and the structural racism of the EU's Fortress Europe policy, Carola became a powerful symbol for people seeking to take practical action for a world based on justice and equality. Carola has worked in the polar regions since 2011 and holds a degree in natural resources management. Consequently, her book shows how the ecological crises we are facing today are rooted in social and political power structures. The book details moments of the rescue mission but also connects the dots to forced migration and the urgency of our environmental predicament. Overall, it is a call to engage and act to become part of initiatives and movements struggling for social and environmental justice.This version of the book includes a new afterword focused on centring justice and human rights in nature and biodiversity conservation-a topic often overlooked by climate activists in the Global North.The authors will donate the revenue from this book to the association borderline-europe-Menschenrechte ohne Grenzen e.V. in order to launch a new criminalization fund. The money from this fund will be used to support refugees who are criminalized in the EU for fleeingtoEurope.Acknowledgements: This audio book has been made possible by the voluntary contributions of many people, most notably Marysa Abbas who is the voiceover artist of this audioproject, Diane Hielscher who provided her studio "LifeX Lab-wir machen Medien für eine neue Welt" for the recordings and production, Céline Keller who contributed the cover art, Alfio Furnari from Borderline-Europe who managed administration and contracts, the management of liberaudio as well as Anne Weiss who got the projectrolling and connected everyone.

    Getting started with Fulfilment by Amazon Start a Profitable and Sustainable Venture as an Amazon Seller by Following a Proven, up to-to-date Blueprints for Beginners. 
    Do you want to invest in Amazon FBA? 
    Do you know the reasons to be a real amazon investor? 
    Are you thinking like a real Amazon FBA investor? 
    Do you want to become a successful real Amazon FBA investor? 
    Amazon is unlike other sales sites because it basically works as a search engine. Customers do not go to Amazon to browse. They are sure of what they want, and they know how to find it. Amazon is search-driven, which creates a unique relationship between buyers and sellers that make it easy to break into for people with no previous sales experience. 
    What are the benefits of an FBA account over a regular individual seller account on Amazon? One of the benefits is that it can increase your productivity as a seller when you have more time in the day to focus on securing items to sell. When you are responsible for shipping your own products (as is the case with Merchant-Fulfilled sellers), you are responsible for packing and shipping everything yourself. There is only so much time in the day, so you are limited by your own productivity. With FBA, you can spend more time getting the deals you want and finding products to sell and less time with the shipment. Better still, you are offered the security of Amazon customer service. The items you sell, once they reach the Amazon warehouse, are under the responsibility of Amazon.

    The first hopeful book about climate change, The Future Earth shows readers how to reverse the short- and long-term effects of climate change over the next three decades. 
    The basics of climate science are easy. We know it is entirely human-caused. Which means its solutions will be similarly human-led. In The Future Earth, leading climate change advocate and weather-related journalist Eric Holthaus (“the Rebel Nerd of Meteorology”—Rolling Stone) offers a radical vision of our future, specifically how to reverse the short- and long-term effects of climate change over the next three decades. Anchored by world-class reporting, interviews with futurists, climatologists, biologists, economists, and climate change activists, it shows what the world could look like if we implemented radical solutions on the scale of the crises we face.  
    What could happen if we reduced carbon emissions by 50 percent in the next decade?What could living in a city look like in 2030?How could the world operate in 2040, if the proposed Green New Deal created a 100 percent net carbon-free economy in the United States? 
    This is the book for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the current state of our environment. Hopeful and prophetic, The Future Earth invites us to imagine how we can reverse the effects of climate change in our own lifetime and encourages us to enter a deeper relationship with the earth as conscientious stewards and to re-affirm our commitment to one another in our shared humanity.
