ok so instead of going on my usual the earth is doomed spiral I started looking into solar punk solutions and stumbled across the practice of permaculture & found a free 50 video series from the university of oregon on it if anyone else would like to learn abt ways we can actually start restoring earths whole deal

These sort of programs are what is going to save earth. It’s the robots to make ice up north, the rebuilding of the mangroves, turning highways into walk and bike ways, green housing, community gardens. It’s the corporate companies limiting their waste. It’s using left over food to feed animals and plants and the poor. It’s making all glass make energy. It’s windmills off the coasts, it’s nuclear power from thorium. It’s people caring about people and children being cared for. It’s stopping breeding. It’s cleaning up our messes and working towards a better future. The little people can’t do much, we can protest and garden on our own, but the government and corporations have to take a big step to help us accomplish this.

"At nearly 150 acres, the Jardim Gramacho landfill in Rio de Janeiro was one of the largest and most infamous in all of Latin America. Now it’s a mangrove forest teeming with life.

Decommissioned 11 years ago, between 1970 and 2012 the dump, bordering Rio’s famous Guanabara Bay, received 80 million metric tonnes of trash from the area’s Gramacho neighborhood.

Now, a public-private partnership led by the Rio Municipal Cleaning Company has returned the area to nature, specifically mangroves, one of the most valuable of all ecosystems.

Planting 24 acres of mangroves at a time, today the forest stretches out more than 120 acres and is the largest mangrove area of the bay.

“Before, we polluted the bay and the rivers. Now, it’s the bay and the rivers that pollute us,” a lead official on the project told Africa News. “Today, the mangrove has completely recovered.”

Other organizations have taken action to restore mangroves along the bay as well. The non-profit Ocean Pact funded the Green Guanabara Bay Project which successfully restored 12.5 hectares or around 25 acres of mangroves.

According to some estimates, 1 acre of mangrove forests can store more carbon in roots and soil than 4 acres of even the most biodiverse rainforest, making them paramount to any world climate mitigation strategy.

Furthermore, their impressive lattice work of roots and insane durability means that storm surges impacting mangroves lose about 66% of their kinetic energy without even destroying the trees.

Lastly, coastal fishing communities, in [four] words, cannot exist without mangroves. They act as nurseries and perfect habitat for all kinds of fish and crustaceans that small-scale fishermen rely on for their daily bread."

The girls singing in this video were killed in a missile attack on Zaporizhzhia an hour after the performance 💔

Svitlana Semeikina and Kristina Spitsyna were performing to raise funds for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Their parents are now also defending Ukraine in the Zaporizhzhia sector.

The girls were only 19 and 21 years old. On August 9, they were killed by a Russian missile.

I just love silly little men. I love when they speak over me and I just sigh and walk away. I love how they smell and laugh at sexist jokes. It’s so cute when they creep me out and make me want to stab them in their adorable faces. I love when men make women scared. I long for a man who yells at me and makes me cry. I like being an object for men to want, that’s why I wear leggings and baggy shirts. It’s too enticing if I wear anything else.

Don’t you?

Birthday with the family, they don’t know. Friend goes “no wonder you’re married” they don’t know. Assuming he is joking they continue the conversation. I love large chaotic gatherings

#marriage #birthday #happy chaos #I can’t believe he said that #glaring over pasta #he looks away #I mouth “why would you say that” #he forgot it’s a secret #he looked scared #he then slurped the alfredo

You moron

is it just me or is NASA weirdly aggressive in their article about black holes?

can a black hole destroy the earth?

no, you idiot.

black holes aren’t planet gluttons, you bitch.

and the earth isn’t some weak-ass planet that would just fall in to a black hole like a sucker.

and that dumbass sun that we’ve got isn’t big enough to make a black hole like other stars.

you fool.

I’d love to join a group

[marshzamillo]

We evolved past the stage of gentle touches. Past are the flirting and casual dates. Moved beyond the simple words and hiding what happens behind closed doors.

Now we just care. I wait for you till you come home to sleep. You hold my purse as I look through the stores and then I make fun with your friends.

It’s quite nice having a life to share. It’s wonderful to smile and know you’re right there with me. It’s beautiful to see you seeing me.
