Legit though, we should start turning ecosystem restoration and work to make our world more tolerant to the effects of climate change into annual holidays and festivals

Like how just about every culture used to have festivals to celebrate the beginning of the harvest or its end, or the beginning of planting, or how whole communities used to host barn raisings and quilting bees - everyone coming together at once to turn the work of months or years into the work of a few days

Humble suggestions for festival types:

Goat festival

Besides controlled burns (which you can't do if there's too much dead brush), the fastest, most effective, and most cost-efficient way to clear brush before fire season - esp really heavy dead brush - is to just. Put a bunch of goats on your land for a few days!

Remember that Shark Tank competitor who wanted to start a goat rental company, and everyone was like wtf? There was even a whole John Oliver bit making fun of the idea? Well THAT JUST PROVES THEY'RE FROM NICE WET PLACES, because goat rental companies are totally a thing, and they're great.

So like. Why don't we have a weekend where everyone with goats just takes those goats to the nearest land that needs a ton of clearing? Public officials could put up maps of where on public lands grazing is needed, and where it definitely shouldn't happen. Farmers and people/groups with a lot of acres that need clearing can post Goat Requests.

Little kids can make goat-themed crafts and give the goats lots of pets or treats at the end of the day for doing such a good job. Volunteers can help wrangle things so goats don't get where they're not supposed to (and everyone fences off land nowadays anyway, mostly). And the goats, of course, would be in fucking banquet paradise.

Planting Festival and Harvest Festival

Why mess with success??? Bring these back where they've disappeared!!! Time to swarm the community gardens and help everyone near you with a farm make sure that all of their seeds are sown and none of the food goes to waste in the fields, decaying and unpicked.

And then set up distribution parts of the festival so all the extra food gets where it needs to be! Boxes of free lemons in front of your house because you have 80 goddamned lemons are great, but you know what else would be great? An organized effort to take that shit to food pantries (which SUPER rarely get fresh produce, because they can't hold anything perishable for long at all) and community/farmer's markets

Rain Capture Festival

The "water year" - how we track annual rainfall and precipitation - is offset from the regular calendar year because, like, that's just when water cycles through the ecosystems (e.g. meltwater). At least in the US, the water year is October 1st through September 30th of the next year, because October 1st is around when all the snowmelt from last year is gone, and a new cycle is starting as rain begins to fall again in earnest.

So why don't we all have a big barn raising equivalent every September to build rain capture infrastructure?

Team up with some neighbors to turn one of those little grass strips on the sidewalk into a rain-garden with fall-planting plants. Go down to your local church and help them install some gutters and rain barrels. Help deculvert rivers so they run through the dirt again, and make sure all the storm drains in your neighborhood are nice and clear.

Even better, all of this - ESPECIALLY the rain gardens - will also help a ton with flood control!

I'm so serious about how cool this could be, yall.

And people who can't or don't want to do physical stuff for any of these festivals could volunteer to watch children or cook food for the festival or whatever else might need to be done!

Parties afterward to celebrate all the good work done! Community building and direct local improvements to help protect ourselves from climate change!

The possibilities are literally endless, so not to sound like an influencer or some shit, but please DO comment or reply or put it in the notes if you have thoughts, esp on other things we could hold festivals like this for.

Canning festivals. "Dig your elderly neighbors out of the snow" festivals. Endangered species nesting count festival. Plant fruit trees on public land and parks festival. All of the things that I don't know anywhere near enough to think of. Especially in more niche or extreme ecosystems, there are so many possibilities that could do a lot of good

This is extremely relevant right now. The air quality on the east coast of the U.S. may be improving, but Canada is still burning, and in the United States, since January 1, 19,693 wildfires have burned 620,986 acres across the country. Let’s all do our part to prevent the situation from getting worse.

Fire Prevention week was started in 1925 by President Coolidge to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. This leather fire bucket and leather fireman’s helmet from the early 19th Century. In fact, these pieces were produced BEFORE the Great Chicago Fire.

The relationship between humans and wildfires has evolved quite a lot throughout history, especially recently thanks to new technologies.

Indigenous peoples often used controlled burns as a land management technique, but as European settlers expanded into North America, a focus on fire suppression began to take root, especially following catastrophic events like the Great Fire of 1910, which scorched about three million acres across Idaho, Montana, and Washington.

This led to a "Smokey the Bear" approach, emphasizing the prevention of all forest fires.

In recent years, the frequency and intensity of wildfires have increased globally, with notable examples like Australia's 2019-2020 bushfire season and California's record-breaking fire seasons in 2020 and 2021.

The technology to combat wildfires has evolved rapidly since the early 20th century.

The primary tools used to be simple like shovels and axes, used to create firebreaks to halt the spread of fire.

In the 1930s, the use of aircraft for aerial reconnaissance began.

It later expanded to include dropping water and fire retardants, with the first recorded air-to-ground fire retardant drop occurring in 1955 in Los Angeles County.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the advent of more advanced communication systems, including radios, enhanced the coordination among firefighting crews.

As computing technology advanced in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Geographic Information Systems and satellite imaging started playing an essential role in mapping fires and predicting their spread.

Most recently, drones have been employed for real-time monitoring, and machine learning algorithms are being developed to predict fire behavior more accurately.
