Monbiot questions official advice on preparing for environmental crisis
Original: Stockpile food – and wash your hands: is that really how to prepare for environmental catastrophe?
George Monbiot argues in The Guardian that advice urging people in the UK to stockpile food and wash their hands misreads what environmental catastrophe requires. He contends the British state is shifting responsibility onto individuals while backing policies that push the country closer to crisis, rather than addressing the root causes of climate and ecological breakdown.
Why now: The column challenges widely shared government preparedness guidance, prompting debate about individual versus state responsibility for climate risks.
