Cars and personal transportation will never go away as long as our society is stable. It’s better to have electric cars than fossil fuelled cars. Electric cars and good public transport can coexist.

Good for them, keep it up

Damn, Braiding Sweetgrass is on my list, now I need to add Moss as well haha. The list won’t stop growing!

These findings always make me feel optimistic. Imagine if one day each municipality had a huge bin full of plastic eating fungus that all local plastics could just be thrown into. Or imagine if there was some way to give these fungi agency to move around and gorge on litter lol - makes me think of this http://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/09/04/science/fungus-robot-mushroom-biohybrid

At an accelerating rate that is out of sync with our own population growth*

I was wondering the same thing, thanks for the stats.

We could get into the nitty gritty and determine how many chickens an average person eats etc, and maybe we’d find that they’re actually growing at a reasonable rate in comparison to one another, but at first glance these numbers do suggest that we’re killing animals at an accelerating rate.

I’m not vegan but I’ve greatly reduced my meat intake in the past few years, I only really eat it when I’m out and about. This decision was party made because I care about the environment, but this definitely is not the case for many people, so how could they be convinced? A mass marketing campaign aimed at disgusting them?

I’ve never heard of the term Edenizing until now. Sounds nice, I’ll start researching!

Here’s to it growing year over year 💪

So they’ll use their green energy from the wind turbines to charge and power the vessels needed to maintain the turbines themselves. Beautiful. Poetic.

Scotland is one to watch in regards to climate effort. I’ll be living there soon and hoping to become involved in the industry.

I read Nudge and enjoyed it, despite agreeing with many of the criticisms of it. The writing style was accessible and entertaining, so I’ll probably check this out.

Both efforts are intertwined and can run in parallel

Nice! I wonder if they plan to integrate Pixelfed with Loops so they can work as one app - replace the Instagram/Reels combo

I noticed there is an animist community here, that’s something I’d like to learn more about. I believe it’s about respecting non-living things? It reminds me of the Japanese idea of tsukonogabi, where items gain a spirit after 100 years.

They even have a cool map that really helps visualise the scale of the network: https://wearetheark.org/map-of-arks/

Very good point!

Thanks for the insight and the video :)

Cheers!

I enjoy philosophy, thank you!

Thank you Solo 🙏

Thank you! If it’s climate adjacent I’ll check it out :)
