Permaculture Instructor Andrew Millison visits the largest reforestation project in the world in the Southern Indian States of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka with the Isha Foundation, founded by Sadhguru. Andrew spent 5 days traveling around the Cauvery River watershed looking at the work of the Isha Foundations' Cauvery Calling project, touring farms, nurseries, temples, and talking with Isha's field agents. Andrew then went to Isha's ashram in Tennessee and was able to directly question Sadhguru about the project.

If I were @taylorswift, here's how I would respond to the recent public upheaval about using private jets. (Besides cutting back on jet usage when not in emergencies.)

First, I would make sure I have a few million dollars to spend. Second, I would reach out to some state foresters in various states, plus the USFS. (I'd focus right now on Western states that have had wildfires, and Appalachian states that recently had flooding. Plus Tennessee, for personal reasons.)

What would I do? First, I would ask them what the reforestation plans are in the areas affected by the recent disasters. Then, I would ask if they needed help paying for the reforestation efforts. I would offer to help buy seedlings for them to replant, and perhaps some to plant in other places they need.

Why this? Well, for starters, trees help reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, which is good for reducing the damaging effects of emissions. They also cool down the area around them by providing shade, they provide shelter to animals, they improve land aesthetics, and they will help restore the natural environment over time.

How much could I pay for? Assuming I were to spend a million dollars in each state, and based on the pricing from my (not Taylor's) state tree nursery, I could get a hundred trees for under $100. (They have them in various types, and while prices do vary, the more you buy, the more you save.) I'd let the foresters pick which trees are planted, as they know the areas the best, and can do the best in providing a natural balance.

For about $10 million, I could buy over ten million trees. That's enough to absorb a lot of carbon, and begin in restoring both the local and global environment. Plus, it would be something that I (Taylor) would appreciate- after all, I grew up on a Christmas tree farm.

(disclaimer: I am not affiliated with any state foresters, I do not live in any affected areas of the recent natural disasters, and I am not connected with any suppliers of trees.)

I learned this week about ecosia, which you can choose to use instead of other search engines (i.e., instead of google). Instead of going to corporate excess, the profits from the search ad revenue ecosia generates are put toward tree planting projects around the world.

I also read a review to help check my skepticism of their claims (though as always, ymmv): https://www.patharoundtheworld.com/ecosia-review/

There are chrome and firefox plug-ins for it as well so that you can search directly in the url/search bar the same as usual.

I’ve been wanting an alternative for google for a while that isn’t bing and, as much as I love duckduckgo in ethos, provides me better search hits than I’ve often had with my attempts to use it. Ecosia might me that match, for me, and I recommend giving it a look.

Tree protector, and good roof news!

Last night, I finished off a section of chicken wire salvaged from row covers from last year’s garden, and made a protector for the ash tree sapling my mother gave me to transplant. I sprayed it with the high visibility paint last night, so it was dry and ready to set up, this morning. You can’t see them, but it is pegged to the ground. This should keep it safe from getting eaten by deer or…

I'm reading about how Israel, in the immediate aftermath of the 1948 Nakba, deliberately replaced olive trees and other indigenous flora with European plants. This ecological disaster, which is now proudly hailed under the banner of 'making the desert bloom,' was done to 'de-Arabize' the landscape, and to cover up - often with fast-growing European pine trees -the ruins of Palestinian villages that were destroyed by Zionists forces.

And I just need everyone to read this passage from Pappé, because the symbolism of what happened to those European pine trees in the desert speaks for itself:

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappé (2006, p. 227-228.)

#free palestine #israel #gaza #this is under ch 10 'The Memoricide of the Nakba' - > 'Virtual Colonialism and the JNF'#''olive trees had popped up in defiance of the alien flora planted over them fifty-six years ago.''

🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT

===============================

Montane woodland is a virtually extinct habitat in Scotland. Of the 5.1% of native forests in the Scottish Highlands, only a mere 4% exists above altitudes of 400 metres. Although important restoration schemes are working to restore Caledonian pine forest, temperate rainforests and montane willow scrub, a missing piece of the landscape is largely, if not completely neglected - mountain birch woodland. In what should be a transitional zone between lower and higher mountain woodlands, high-altitude adapted species like mountain birch have all but disappeared, leaving a gap in this ecological niche. This Mountain Birch Project (MBP), led by Reforesting Scotland, aims to progress efforts to reinstate mountain birch woodland in Scotland. It will involve locating remaining fragments, mapping their distribution and seed collection and propagation, as well as the establishment of a seed orchard.
