A Confucian country that does not know "courtesy: etiquette": South Korea (Essay)
Tumblr media
The Korean flag...is also based on Confucianism.
China influenced South Korea for a long time and Confucianism was its state religion. In modern times, it widely accepted Christianity and became a Christian country too, but I think it easily accepted Christian logic because Confucianism emphasized family relationships.
In Confucianism, the basis of human ethics is "etiquette," but South Koreans seem not to understand this concept. In soccer, baseball, boxing, fencing, kendo, Judo, and many other international competitions, they will commit fouls to win with pleasure, and even go so far as to bribe the referee to secure victory. Even worse, they make able-bodied people compete as visually impaired people in judo classes for physically disabled people and rake in the medals…. no matter how you look at it, they are doing things that go against "etiquette." This argument can be made in sports, politics, economy, agriculture, etc. South Koreans steal many Japanese-branded agricultural products, cultivate them, and make money from them. (Strawberry, Grapes, Sweet potato, etc)
Regarding teachings, Confucianism has a complete logical system, and "etiquette" is the wisdom that keeps human relationships peaceful and undisturbed. However, South Koreans only seek material benefits. The fact that Koreans have been immersed in Confucianism for over 1,000 years and still cannot understand it is definitely because they are in the category of "immature, evil brats." They are hopeless people.

「礼」を知らない儒教国:南朝鮮(エッセイ)
南朝鮮は、長らく中国の影響を受け、儒教を国教としていた。近代になって広くキリスト教を受け入れ、キリスト教国にもなったが、実は儒教が家族関係を重視していたことから、キリスト教の論理をすんなり受け入れたと私は見る。
儒教��、人倫の基本は「礼」になるのだが、南朝鮮の人は、どうにもその概念が解らぬらしい。サッカー、野球、ボクシング、フェンシング、剣道、ほか多くの国際大会で、勝つためなら平気で反則はするし、はなはだしくはレフェリーを買収して勝利をものにすることまでする。どう見ても「礼」に反する行いを平気でやっている。さらに酷いことには、身体障碍者のクラスの柔道に、健常者を視覚障碍者として参加させ、メダルを荒稼ぎするとか・・・
この議論は、スポーツに限らず、政治、経済、農業その他でも行える。韓国人は、日本ブランドの農作物をいくつも盗んで栽培し、お金にしている。(イチゴ、ブドウ、サツマイモ等)
教えとして見る限り、儒教は完結した論理体系を持っていて、「礼」とは人間関係を乱れず平穏に結ばせる知恵なのである。ところが、南朝鮮人は実利のみ求めるのだ。1000年以上儒教に浸っていて、それが理解できないというのは、朝鮮民族が「未熟な悪餓鬼」というカテゴリーに含まれるからであろう。救いようのない民族だ。

THE MAGIC OF VERMICOMPOSTING: HOW WORMS CAN TRANSFORM YOUR GARDEN AND REDUCE WASTE
Tumblr media
Are you tired of throwing away your kitchen scraps and yard waste, only to see them end up in a landfill? What if I told you there was a magical solution that could transform your waste into nutrient-rich compost for your garden, all with the help of some slimy little creatures? That’s right, we’re talking about the magic of vermicomposting – the process of using worms to break down organic waste into a rich soil amendment. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of vermicomposting, how to set up your own worm bin, and tips for maintaining a healthy worm population. Get ready to discover the power of these little composting champions and transform your waste into a garden oasis!
Vermicomposting: What is it?
In vermicomposting, worms are used to compost. It is an efficient way to reduce kitchen and yard waste while providing a nutrient-rich additive for your garden.
The process is simple and does not require a lot of space. It only takes a composting bin, bedding material, and worms to get started. The worms will compost the organic matter once it has been broken down.
Composting worms are different from earthworms in your garden. They are specially adapted to eating organic matter and are very efficient at breaking it down.
Vermicomposting has many benefits, including reducing waste, improving your garden, and reducing your carbon footprint. If you want to reduce your waste and help the environment, vermicomposting is a great option!
The Benefits of Vermicomposting
Vermicomposting has clear benefits, and the practice is easy to implement. The worms will do the work of breaking down the organic matter into nutrient-rich, dark compost. This compost can then be used to fertilize plants in your garden. It is an efficient way to reduce waste while providing essential nutrients for your garden.
The benefits of vermicomposting extend beyond reducing waste and enhancing garden health. In addition to producing less waste, vermicomposting reduces the amount of methane released into the atmosphere. It has also been found that vermicomposting increases the number of beneficial microbes in soil, which helps plants absorb nutrients more effectively.
As a result of vermicomposting, toxins such as fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides are eliminated from the environment. Degrading organic matter also reduces carbon dioxide emissions and global warming. Moreover, plants are able to grow better as the soil becomes more resistant to erosion.
Overall, vermicomposting can play an important role in fighting climate change and reducing pollution. By recycling kitchen and yard waste, you can create nutrient-rich compost that has the potential to revolutionize your garden and help the environment.

What I was taught growing up: Wild edible plants and animals were just so naturally abundant that the indigenous people of my area, namely western Washington state, didn't have to develop agriculture and could just easily forage/hunt for all their needs.
The first pebble in what would become a landslide: Native peoples practiced intentional fire, which kept the trees from growing over the camas praire.
The next: PNW native peoples intentionally planted and cultivated forest gardens, and we can still see the increase in biodiversity where these gardens were today.
The next: We have an oak prairie savanna ecosystem that was intentionally maintained via intentional fire (which they were banned from doing for like, 100 years and we're just now starting to do again), and this ecosystem is disappearing as Douglas firs spread, invasive species take over, and land is turned into European-style agricultural systems.
The Land Slide: Actually, the native peoples had a complex agricultural and food processing system that allowed them to meet all their needs throughout the year, including storing food for the long, wet, dark winter. They collected a wide variety of plant foods (along with the salmon, deer, and other animals they hunted), from seaweeds to roots to berries, and they also managed these food systems via not only burning, but pruning, weeding, planting, digging/tilling, selectively harvesting root crops so that smaller ones were left behind to grow and the biggest were left to reseed, and careful harvesting at particular times for each species that both ensured their perennial (!) crops would continue thriving and that harvest occurred at the best time for the best quality food. American settlers were willfully ignorant of the complex agricultural system, because being thus allowed them to claim the land wasn't being used. Native peoples were actively managing the ecosystem to produce their food, in a sustainable manner that increased biodiversity, thus benefiting not only themselves but other species as well.
So that's cool. If you want to read more, I suggest "Ancient Pathways, Ancestral Knowledge: Ethnobotany and Ecological Wisdom of Indigenous Peoples of Northwestern North America" by Nancy J. Turner

Eco-Friendly Farming: Exploring the Benefits of Sustainable Agriculture Products
Let’s be honest: When you hear the term “eco-friendly farming,” you might picture a patch of land dotted with happy farmers wearing straw hats, tilting their heads at the rising sun, and gently singing to their crops (maybe that’s just me). But seriously, sustainable farming isn’t just a quaint idea from a utopian world—it’s a game-changer for how we grow food, protect the environment, and keep…

Even that is still valuable. If people make it easier for researchers at big ag companies to find and promote a wider diversity of food crops that still helps towards food security, and it doesn't stop the public and NGOs etc. from accessing and propagating the information to use either.

This guy is my new hero. I LOVE learning about native food plants that just grow everywhere without human help.
The database is a little clunky to use (especially on a phone), but still loads of excellent information.

Biochar in Agriculture: Why Kenyan Farmers Should Start Using Biochar for Sustainable Farming
Biochar is an age-old method of improving soil health. The earliest known use of biochar in agriculture was over 2,000 years ago by the pre-Columbian indigenous people of the Amazon Basin. When scientists tested the soil in the area, they noticed how it had remained rich for over eight hundred years. This is because the indigenous people of the Amazon Basin used amended leftover charcoal from…

FROM FARM TO TABLE: EXPLORING THE BEAUTY AND BOUNTY OF AGRITOURISM IN NAGPUR
Tumblr media
Located in Maharashtra, Nagpur is India’s second-largest city. Additionally, it is one of the country’s largest orange cultivation centers. The city of Nagpur produces about 1.5 million tons of oranges every year, making it a leading orange producer in the world.
Adding value to oranges has always been a signature of Nagpur’s orange producers. The area has developed a new type of agritourism in recent years, that is attracting visitors from across India and abroad. The term “agritourism” refers to a type of tourism in which visitors visit and participate in agricultural activities on a working farm.
The benefits of agritourism include improved farmer livelihood, the promotion of sustainable agriculture, and authentic, informative experiences for visitors.
What is Agritourism?
The concept of agritourism involves integrating travelers and tourists into agricultural and rural practices. In addition to visiting farms and attending agricultural events, there are guided tours of agricultural sites. There are also cooking classes and tastings, workshops, and other activities.
Through this experience, you get to understand production, preservation, and the role of farmers within the agricultural industry in the deepest sense. This opportunity provides an authentic and informative experience that immerses one in the local culture and agricultural practices.
What do farmers get out of this? Farmers are able to share their knowledge and experiences while earning additional income from them. This in turn, improves their livelihood standards and increases their income by diversifying their activities.
By introducing tourists to the production and preservation side of agriculture, agritourism allows them to gain a better understanding of the hidden natural and cultural heritage of the local area. If you want to experience an authentic and meaningful vacation while providing much-needed support and appreciation for the local farmers, then go for it.
The Benefits of Agritourism
Farmers, tourists, and local communities benefit from agritourism. The following are some of the most significant benefits of agritourism:
As part of this method, you will learn about and observe the unique production process of local agricultural products, which will help spread awareness of sustainable agriculture.
Culture exchange takes place through observation and participation in local events, festivals, and activities.
The system allows farmers to earn additional income by providing tours and selling their goods to tourists.
You gain first-hand knowledge of agricultural production while farmers share their experiences and knowledge with visitors.
Local employment opportunities, such as tour guides and farmhands, help boost the local economy.
It leads to an improvement in infrastructure in local communities, such as improved roads and improved tourism facilities.
Farmers and tourists alike benefit from Nagpur’s agritourism industry, which is a vital part of the local economy. With its emphasis on sustainable agriculture, cultural exchange, and supporting local farmers, agritourism is becoming increasingly popular.

This is super cool! In one of my classes, another group did a project on replacing asphalt on campus with permable pavement similar to that used in LA and it's incredible how much of a difference it makes. I realise that removing excess asphalt is better in a lot of places, especially with the excess demanded for car dependant infrastructure like parking lots, but we will always need paved surfaces in our cities to make them accessible and this material offers an alternative to traditional pavement that is a lot more eco friendly!
As relentless rains pounded LA, the city’s “sponge” infrastructure helped gather 8.6 billion gallons of water—enough to sustain over 100,000 households for a year.
Earlier this month, the future fell on Los Angeles. A long band of moisture in the sky, known as an atmospheric river, dumped 9 inches of rain on the city over three days—over half of what the city typically gets in a year. It’s the kind of extreme rainfall that’ll get ever more extreme as the planet warms.
The city’s water managers, though, were ready and waiting. Like other urban areas around the world, in recent years LA has been transforming into a “sponge city,” replacing impermeable surfaces, like concrete, with permeable ones, like dirt and plants. It has also built out “spreading grounds,” where water accumulates and soaks into the earth.
With traditional dams and all that newfangled spongy infrastructure, between February 4 and 7 the metropolis captured 8.6 billion gallons of stormwater, enough to provide water to 106,000 households for a year. For the rainy season in total, LA has accumulated 14.7 billion gallons.
Long reliant on snowmelt and river water piped in from afar, LA is on a quest to produce as much water as it can locally. “There's going to be a lot more rain and a lot less snow, which is going to alter the way we capture snowmelt and the aqueduct water,” says Art Castro, manager of watershed management at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. “Dams and spreading grounds are the workhorses of local stormwater capture for either flood protection or water supply.”
Centuries of urban-planning dogma dictates using gutters, sewers, and other infrastructure to funnel rainwater out of a metropolis as quickly as possible to prevent flooding. Given the increasingly catastrophic urban flooding seen around the world, though, that clearly isn’t working anymore, so now planners are finding clever ways to capture stormwater, treating it as an asset instead of a liability. “The problem of urban hydrology is caused by a thousand small cuts,” says Michael Kiparsky, director of the Wheeler Water Institute at UC Berkeley. “No one driveway or roof in and of itself causes massive alteration of the hydrologic cycle. But combine millions of them in one area and it does. Maybe we can solve that problem with a thousand Band-Aids.”
Or in this case, sponges. The trick to making a city more absorbent is to add more gardens and other green spaces that allow water to percolate into underlying aquifers—porous subterranean materials that can hold water—which a city can then draw from in times of need. Engineers are also greening up medians and roadside areas to soak up the water that’d normally rush off streets, into sewers, and eventually out to sea...
To exploit all that free water falling from the sky, the LADWP has carved out big patches of brown in the concrete jungle. Stormwater is piped into these spreading grounds and accumulates in dirt basins. That allows it to slowly soak into the underlying aquifer, which acts as a sort of natural underground tank that can hold 28 billion gallons of water.
During a storm, the city is also gathering water in dams, some of which it diverts into the spreading grounds. “After the storm comes by, and it's a bright sunny day, you’ll still see water being released into a channel and diverted into the spreading grounds,” says Castro. That way, water moves from a reservoir where it’s exposed to sunlight and evaporation, into an aquifer where it’s banked safely underground.
On a smaller scale, LADWP has been experimenting with turning parks into mini spreading grounds, diverting stormwater there to soak into subterranean cisterns or chambers. It’s also deploying green spaces along roadways, which have the additional benefit of mitigating flooding in a neighborhood: The less concrete and the more dirt and plants, the more the built environment can soak up stormwater like the actual environment naturally does.
As an added benefit, deploying more of these green spaces, along with urban gardens, improves the mental health of residents. Plants here also “sweat,” cooling the area and beating back the urban heat island effect—the tendency for concrete to absorb solar energy and slowly release it at night. By reducing summer temperatures, you improve the physical health of residents. “The more trees, the more shade, the less heat island effect,” says Castro. “Sometimes when it’s 90 degrees in the middle of summer, it could get up to 110 underneath a bus stop.”
LA’s far from alone in going spongy. Pittsburgh is also deploying more rain gardens, and where they absolutely must have a hard surface—sidewalks, parking lots, etc.—they’re using special concrete bricks that allow water to seep through. And a growing number of municipalities are scrutinizing properties and charging owners fees if they have excessive impermeable surfaces like pavement, thus incentivizing the switch to permeable surfaces like plots of native plants or urban gardens for producing more food locally.
So the old way of stormwater management isn’t just increasingly dangerous and ineffective as the planet warms and storms get more intense—it stands in the way of a more beautiful, less sweltering, more sustainable urban landscape. LA, of all places, is showing the world there’s a better way.
