When is a Tree not a Tree? The 'Net Zero' Wood Burning Scam - with Dr Mary Booth of Partnership for Policy Integrity We’re being sold many lies, but one of the most egregious is the idea that cutting down old growth forest, turning it into pellets and shipping it across the world to burn in former-coal power station...

We need to change how we create and use energy and power - in all their forms

One way *not* to do this is to clear fell old-growth forests, pellet them, ship them, burn them and pretend this is somehow #NetZero

Humans are a keystone species...

but so are dung beetles - and we're annihilating them with our industrial farming practices

This is the field that was to become The Woodland Orchard, when I first walked onto the site in 2005.

It looked fantastic, but I didn't know then that the soil wasn't in great shape.

It started an incredible, near 20 year journey learning about soil health and regeneration.

On "Local Futures dot org", the free interactive Localization Action Guide is something you really have to see in person.

Bioregional Earth This is the gathering place for Earth Regenerators to follow a design pathway for regenerating our planet and human cultural, learning, and financial systems.

It is time to live the new story of humanity, which is also a very old story. How do we live in harmony with the rest of life on Earth?

"What is a bioregion and why is it the scale at which we need to be working? A bioregional perspective is a way of understanding your place in the larger context of the planet..." continued in the 17 min video - EnJoy!

For all of my permaculture friends, you can apply the design ethic all the way up to bioregions and the planet as a whole.
