If you have a bit of land, check out the Praxis Garden Project, which encourages gardeners to aim to contribute 10 lbs of storage crops to contribute to local food banks in fall. https://www.reddit.com/r/PraxisGardenProject/comments/1ik2pn6/the_praxis_garden_project/

I used to be obsessed with the graffiti from the 1968 protests in France.

I've been thinking of the one that went, "You will die of comfort" a lot lately.

In Chicago, all city buildings now use 100 percent clean power Chicago is one of several U.S. cities that are taking advantage of their bulk-buying power to spur new carbon-free energy development and meet climate…

Chicago has officially switched all its city buildings to 100% renewable energy! It takes about 700,000 megawatt hours of electricity each year to power the city’s 400+ municipal buildings, and this is now all coming from renewable sources.

Thanks @canarymedia.com for this amazing news!

How regenerative agriculture can foster peacebuilding in conflict areas Evidence of regenerative production as an intentional vehicle for peacebuilding in conflict contexts is scant, but early indications suggest it might at least begin to meet that tall order.

As Corey Robin points out in The Reactionary Mind, conservatism is essentially built on the idea that there is a natural and righteous hierarchy, and that preserving it has moral value. So you’re right. And in their worldview, it’s not hypocrisy, it’s justice.

And, of course, there's practically universal agreement that wealth will save you from climate catastrophe, by decoupling you from your planetary context.

That's certainly proving to be largely untrue in LA.

I don’t think most people understand that putting off major lifestyle changes to mitigate/adapt to climate change does is simply procrastination that will make their lives harder when they are forced to make that transition all at once later.

Hedgerows (if you use plants appropriate for your area) can serve many purposes and sequester carbon. If you were going to buy a fence, consider a hedgerow. #agroforestry #climate #sustainability #gardening

Wow. I’m really sorry. Meeting people realistically where they are is central to environmental justice. If something like that ever happens again, ask how often they fly.

There is a program to create Blue Belts around Staten Island, including natural wetlands, to protect against storm surge. It’s a start. #statenisland #climate #nyc #wetlands
