Why the Great Green Wall Matters for Our Planet

By Ariel Hi friends! Ariel here, and today we’re diving into one of the most ambitious and inspiring projects on Earth—a wall of trees so vast that it spans an entire continent! Imagine a massive green belt of life, stretching 5,000 miles across Africa, transforming dry and dusty lands into vibrant ecosystems full of life. This incredible project is called the Great Green Wall, and it’s tackling…

You can always say that you also want to experience a true finnish sauna (the ones in spas abroad are fake ones and way too cold)

*dad talking about how finland is land of the midnight sun in summer*

my mother: “is that the ONLY reason you want to go?” *looks pointedly* 🤨🧐

From the article:

“When the issue of conservation and climate is highlighted and elevated on the ballot, we find time and again that voters overwhelmingly support these initiatives,” said TNC’s Senior Director of Strategy Adam Snyder. “This year is no different, with 66% of voters supporting conservation and climate proposals.”

it's so funny to see jayce and viktor making their hexgem presentation in season 1

these brilliant, genius scientists, really expended years creating giant gloves that break big rocks in seconds and a laser beam that fundamentally goes through any kind of material, looked at those inventions and thought

"this will be so safe and secure in the hands of anyone :D"

israel is bombing four different arab countries right now. israel is bombing lebanon, palestine, syria, and yemen….. proving time and time again, their goal is to take out the arab world. never had it ever been about hostages, about “hamas”, about hezbollah. never.

sometimes i reread my old pre / early post-s4 fics and i feel like i probably wrote this exchange post 4x09 for obvious reasons but

“I never thought I wouldn’t understand my mother. I never thought I’d understand King Harrow so well, but...” “Callum.” Soren pulls him away from the balcony—away from the moon. “There is always someone else out there. There is always the ability to move on. Your mother found happiness because she went looking. King Harrow didn’t, too choked up with guilt and—” “It wasn’t guilt,” Callum almost shouts, jerking away. “It wasn’t—not completely. He just—he knew, Soren. He knew. And I never thought it’d happen to me, but sometimes you fall in love and that’s it. It’s over. There will never be anyone else. There could never be anyone else. And I—” He grips his chest over his heart, looking so heartbreakingly angry at himself yet resolute that Soren doesn’t know what to say. It’s like watching someone drown without any water. “I know.”

the biggest industrial and economic transition that is ever going to happen on earth.

The paris agreement, clean power act, clean water act, clean air act, and the epa all gone. National park workers fired. I feel like I am silently screaming. We NEED to act. I'm so fucking tired of being sad. We need to be angry.

really, on that note, if the resistance (a) were as ruthless as their opponents and (b) wanted to get the war over with ASAP...they should've gone the route of just like. finding a way to unleash some kind of super-infectious disease on first order ships. or poison their air supply. hit the first order with a COVID-19 pandemic. come on, general organa, embrace the war crimes!

Just wanted to thank you for taking the time and effort to put together the long climate/environment post, especially the online resources. I've wanted to replace the neglected/dead non-native plants at my place with native plants for months, but didn't know where to start my search for species except to walk around my local nature preserve trying to find something that isn't invasive lol. I'll be able to start (re)introducing native plants this month because of you :-)

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad the post has been helpful and inspiring. If you'd like more directed guidance on native plants, I can probably point you in the right direction if you can give me a general area to work with (state would suffice!). In general, go for keystone species- those that are common in your area and support many kinds of insects- or pollinator favorites, or host plants for rare/imperiled butterflies/bees/moths.
