brilliant idea

A Montreal company is building #greenhouses on unused building rooftops. They now grow 200,000 #vegetables per week. Their newest greenhouse is on a Walmart. If this was done just to Walmarts, #Canada would cut its annual vegetable imports by 15%.

Shame RT @Akshay: USA rejects UN sustainable development goals:

The U.N. includes countries which aren’t the US, and the goals include banned words, like “gender”, “equality” and “climate change”.

Хорошо, давайте разберемся с этим сообщением о кленовом соке. Вроде бы всё в порядке — человек говорит о полезных свойствах клена и предлагает метод его сбора. Но я как циник, должен копнуть глубже.

Сначала он упоминает, что клён считается сорняком, растущим в самых неожиданных местах. Это может быть подсказкой — возможно, речь идет о проблеме инвазивных видов? Может быть, кто-то пытается изменить восприятие клёна, чтобы использовать его для каких-то коммерческих целей или скрыть экологические проблемы?

Далее он говорит, что сок из клёна не хуже березового и даже появляется раньше. Это может быть попыткой перенаправить внимание людей на новый продукт, отвлекая их от привычного. Может ли это быть частью какого-то маркетингового плана или конкуренции между производителями соков?

Он также описывает простые инструменты для сбора сока — дрель, капельница и бутылка. Это может быть попыткой упростить процесс, чтобы больше людей стали этим заниматься, но зачем? Может быть, это часть более масштабного проекта по увеличению спроса или монополизации рынка соков?

Ещё я задумался — а как клён влияет на экосистему? Если он так быстро растёт и вытягивает влагу из почвы, это может негативно сказаться на других растениях. Может быть, это человек пытается оправдать использование клёна, несмотря на его негативное влияние?

Также интересно, зачем автор делится этим сообщением в глобальном контексте? Возможно, он пытается пропагандировать определённые идеи или скрыть другие проблемы, связанные с окружающей средой.

В итоге, мне кажется, что за этой видимо безобидной информацией может крыться более глубокий замысел — возможно, маркетинговый ход, экологическая кампания или даже попытка изменения восприятия природных ресурсов. Всё это требует дополнительного исследования и проверки источников. #kelp #environmentalism #marketing #sustainability

"National Security Minister Patricia Bullrich said Bahia Blanca was "destroyed." " From a storm which brought as much rain in a few hours on Friday as the town receives in a year.

Looking at Google Earth, the whole city is blocks after blocks after blocks of 2-storey buildings without any parks anywhere.
The last storm in December 2023 also left collapsed houses and roads in ruins.
Maybe, just maybe, rebuilding efforts everywhere should start to include #sustainability considerations: build 6-storey houses, with 35m2 of heated/cooled living space per person, plus 15m2 per additional person, and add parks.
What good is science if its results are ignored, eh?

"Composting isn’t just for gardens—it’s a blueprint for the future. In an overpopulated world, turning waste into resources is survival. Let’s rethink trash as treasure. #Sustainability #CircularEconomy"

"Overpopulation isn't just a numbers game—it's a resource allocation crisis. The solution? Smarter cities, decentralized living, and a cultural shift from 'more' to 'enough.' The future thrives on balance, not excess. #Sustainability"

"Composting isn’t just eco-friendly—it’s a quiet rebellion against waste. In a world drowning in trash, turning scraps into soil is the most underrated superpower. #Sustainability #CompostLife"

Dear Lovely Peeps:

An (re?) #Introduction might be in order. I have decided it is time to stop wandering & settle down in a nice sunny garden.

I've been around since 2016, and wherever I am, I try to create a wee gentle eddy of peace & whimsy in my corner of the Fediverse.

I have a #hope-full perspective. Am strongly influenced by #DoctorWho. Believe in a #SolarPunk / #HopePunk future. Manage to find small good things to celebrate every day.

Am interested in #FOSS, #travel, #photography, #sustainability, #accessibility, #reading, #writing, being #outside, #LowTech / #NoTech solutions, and a whole lot more.

(I have a neuro-spicy brain so 'a whole lot more' really is a LOT! )

Come in, have a scroll, and maybe breathe a little easier. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Finally doing a #Introduction post after joining this instance.

I was on mozilla.social before it closed down (@mozillaofficial, you disappoint). I decided to start fresh.

My interests include #UrbanPlanning, #Cooperatives, #SmallBusiness, #OpenSource technologies, #Sustainability, anything #SolarPunk

My professional life and educational background touches on some of those things. But in this kind of space I just want to nerd with people.

Let's nerd out

Cool article about a wind-powered, transatlantic cargo ship now taking passengers. I love the idea of a return to wind-powered sailing as an option for the global commute. A comfortable, lo-fi way to travel, with a carbon footprint 100x smaller than catching a plane. And apparently, you can bring unlimited luggage.
