I cry: "a pilonidal abscess on all their 'houses'". And then, no one to care for them specifically. nurse.org/news/nursing...

Solar Cooking and teaching it. Could really appreciate more 'star power' folks to promote it though. Here is the story of how solar cookers saved an old growth forest in Nepal from turning into kindling from +20K refugees. eg-solar.de/en/nepal/
I can't make it 'sexy enough' for people in the USA.

Doing Mosaic art is about fitting in all the 'negative' spaces (an artistic term) with the right shape and themed piece.
Same with "habitual dwelling".
Urban rules need to change, allowing more varied definitions of what makes a home and what is 'rent.

i'm sorry. My husband was laid off every 12-18 months for over 15yrs. That is the life of a software contractor with gig work.
He started becoming like an actor, always looking for the next job.

Make that 'morbidly rich'.

Very well identified. This so condescending, my blood started boiling.
Despise the rich.

Logic? Ahhhh. They won't adapt to that.

Sparkly ones still compost well too!

The 3 hyper local choices of Food life:
1. Human grade»>to pantries and Food Banks
2. Animal Grade»> those ‘timed out’ leftovers and prep waste from food producers that is not yet spoiled can go to our critters if picked up timely.
3. Gardener grade»>done by seasoned composting Altruism

Without partnering with Careit.com, I would be just another under the radar collector viewed as a 'dumpster' diver.
Together we have brought safety, sanitation, cooperation, and best practices to nutrient use, reuse, and recycling.

Agree!

Home - Careit Food donation and rescue software that makes it easy for businesses to donate surplus food and goods directly to local nonprofits.

Add Careit.com as an ethical app. Free to use. Networks Food Producers with Nonprofits for Human food; Animal Owners for timed out leftovers/prep waste; and Gardeners for local composting.
APPs like this will be the only way to keep MicroPlastic packaging out of our soil and feed.
Altruism works.

Hang in there and join the Cervantes-esque 'Windmill tilting' club (Don Quixote style)with me. Our mission is a righteous. Simple solutions from Nature are the easiest to implement. We have a powerful ally.

Such Colonizing thinking that we can run away and despoil a pristine place.
However, cities have fail us by letting in corporate investors too.

While the answer is obvious (so many points of difference with Blue municipalities), I've stopped analyzing cuz the same answers keep coming up and the progressives are the only ones seeing them.
When the answers start impacting conservative brains personally, they may seek them out.

Will there be a Fujiwara effect? Did I spell that right?

I would invite you to add @solarcookersint.bsky.social to your Starter pack.
One solar cooker used every sunny day saves 2K lbs of carbon from going up into the air.
I can't think of anyone thing everyone can do. Not all of us can ride bikes, but everyone eats.

If people were really sensitive, they'd hear the billion screams of microbe desiccating in the sun.

We do pizza too, but to a small, female own business. Want CA's AB 626 here. It works in LA and S.B counties nextdoor. I give the Arabic speaking neighbor free rein to my grape leaves in the Spring and early summer and love the Dolmas periodically returned. Neighbors give compost.
Different Mindset.

Agree, esp on the federal level. I am trying to find positive pathways for it on a local level. Redundancies help, like having a dryer just for rainy days or using solar cooking on sunny days.

For years, Nigella would self sow in my SoCal garden. Original seeds were from Turkey. They always looked wonderful next to the CA poppies.

I need to return to my friend again for more seed. I think the Muscovy got to them.

Good question. I ask which forces will guide it? IOWs. Will degrowth be purposefully organized and gradual? Or chaotic and sudden from catastrophic changes?

There's a reason the headhunters are still after this semi retired RN who did Pediatric ICU, NICU, and general peds floor work for 18 years.
In 1986 through 1990, I saw the change when H.Flu Meningitis was 95% of the case load go down to only 5% of the causes for damaged children.
Our work eased.

I forgot I didn't answer you on the rabbits. I raise a 'heritage' breed of Giant Chinchillas. I'm finding there are not many breeders and sadly one of our line was too inbred to continue. One can grow most of the food needed. Prepare to do research on what works as grass clippings along will kill.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.

Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.

And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.

Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.
