Quite true Javiera! Well said.Also see my book "Extraction to Extinction" @saraband-books.bsky.social which explores how we transmute rocks into our modern material and the heavy environmental price we pay for our hubris.

So true. And true of so many of our key materials that we ultimately extract from the ground. 'If you can't eat it, a geologist probably found it'. "Extraction to Extinction" A must read! 😊@saraband-books.bsky.social

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Sorry. I just like the colours of the nettle green and the shades of brown of the petal-like mushroom by a roadside bank. But thanks for the identification advice.
