How solar power is changing life in Ecuador's Amazon basin
For more than 40 years, the local Indigenous people, the Achuar, have been advocating to stop oil development, which has ravaged large swaths of the Ecuadorian Amazon. But even as they fought against fossil fuels, gasoline was their only option to light their homes and power the boats tied to their livelihood. This area has the thinnest electric coverage in the country. But now a smattering of solar panels across 12 villages in a couple of Ecuador’s deeply forested eastern provinces are transforming life.
Solar power is shaping how they go about daily life in ways big and small, from how they get to work to how they negotiate their connections to the world beyond the Amazon.

For generations, young men farmed the land, built huts or left their village to find work outside the jungle. Now solar panels are opening up other options.
In the Kapawi Solar Center, an open structure overlooking the Pastaza River, 20 solar panels power a dozen outlets strapped to bamboo poles. There, technicians such as Óscar Mukucham can charge up and hold workshops on how to install panels.
As a boy, Mukucham, now 23, had visions of solar boats moving through the river. Now he teaches others how to maintain them in the Amazon humidity.
Solar power is also fueling eco-tourism. The Kapawi Ecolodge, a hotel managed by the community, boasts 64 panels that illuminate 10 cabins, the dining room and other hotel facilities for 24 hours a day.
The solar boats are so quiet, they make for ideal vessels for nature tours: They don’t scare away dolphins or birds.
For Canelos, the lamps and panels are enabling a bigger vision: powering the Amazon without scarring it with roads and poles. Solar energy connects them to the world beyond their home, while preserving the ancient traditions that have sprouted from its rich rainforest floor.
“We cannot talk about the fight against extractive activities if we are consuming fuel,” he said. “Just as the sun makes life possible on the planet, it also allows the Achuar to keep their culture alive.”

This is technically a Diana's age poll but I framed it partially around Julia's rescue because that's the event I need to contextualize and whether or not Diana is a thing yet is p important for my purposes. I would keep the Pérez run and postcrisis continuity in mind when answering this bc that's when this is relevant but I'd keep in mind that even though Diana is very young there (like early 20s) we don't know I don't think if she ages differently as a child (esp as a themysciran AND being made from clay) and in some versions she is older than she looks and was made earlier
Edit: I accidentally logic-ed this out in the tags lol 🤦♀️but feel free to still vote however you want. Going to publish this anyway bc I think I made some good points later in my tags
#blah#the 45 years is a guesstimation of julias age w her being in her late 40s#bc she has a middle school aged daughter which would make you lean a bit younger but shes also highly respected prof at harvard (is she the#dept head? i think so. and has a career that would suggest older. and shes also drawn middle aged so 🤷♀️#i would say late 40s early 50s for her honestly. but i moved it down a lil bit bc of vanessas age#wait shit i may have contradicted logic here bc wasnt the diana trevor stuff supposed to have happened before dianas birth. and that was#wwii. which would be btwn 42 and 45 years. BC PÉREZ!TREVOR IS OLD I FORGOT THAT#okay so actually there still could be a question of what happened first the timeline would just be much shorter#but then wouldnt julias family be boating during wwii? that makes no sense#im definitely thinkimg too hard about this probably. logically it would make the most sense if diana was like 20smth in reality. but thats#its own basket of worms honestly. like what do you mean hippolyta only had like 20 yrs w her daughter out of a lifespan of thousands of#years. what do you MEAN she became champion and ambassador so young like#like also thats the point though. she had to wear a mask in the challenge for a reason. her inexperience with men is what makes her the kind#of ambassador they need. and her youth and relation to hippolyta and role as the baby of the amazons is one of the things that makes her#ambassadorship SO important is bc she fulfills that role in an ancient sense. where it would be a sign of great trust and respect to send#someone close to the crown as an envoy bc it shows you mean business and arent going to reneg on whatever the deal is. bc if you do they#shoot the messenger#god anyways i very much answered my own question here in the tags like 100%. esp in regards to the pérez canon bc he very much laid this out#and i was trying to weasel my way out of it. only that didnt work and the decisions he made he made for a reason and they have huge#narrative importance. damn. okay then#i always write the shittiest posts and the best tags and then have to keep the post to keep the tags#i rlly need to make these tags posts ugh. anyways keeping this up bc of my tags abt diana and ambassadorship#also sidenote I LOVE HIPPOLYTA#just though id mention that. i love how much shes motivated by love and i also love when she makes fucked up decisions bc of that and has to#live with them. woman of all time FOR REALS#god this is making me want to reread historia again lol bc its the one ww comic i own. also its fire. and hippolyta gets to make shitty#decisions motivated by emotion and live w the consequences. and the comic is actually good unlike when that happened in the messner-loebs#run. which was the other instance of that ive read rlly. 10000% sure there are others but i havent fully gotten there yet.#i mean ive read other comics where she makes painful decisions thats like her whole deal but there are different vibes to those than the two#i mentioned. like the exile thing in ww year 1 or rlly anytime she has to send diana away

The Boys in the Boat (dir. George Clooney).
This is perfectly unexceptional in every conceivable way as a painfully standard inspirational period underdog sports drama based on a true story. Set during the Depression, we follow the University of Washington men's eight-rowing team in their improbable, working-class quest to compete and win gold in the 1936 Summer Olympics amidst Hitler's Berlin and against the backdrop of WWII looming on the horizon.

Barco e canoa (2022/2023). Belterra, Pará, Brasil. Foto tirada com um superzoom de uma lente que me emprestaram. Só para se ter ideia desse zoom, mal dava de ver o barco, muito menos a outra margem do rio Tapajós, pois desse lugar a largura do rio é de mais de cinco quilômetros (eu tirei a foto de um lugar um pouco mais alto).
Boat and canoe (2022/2023). Belterra, Pará, Brazil. Photo taken with a superzoom on a lens they lent me. Just to give you an idea of this zoom, you could barely see the boat, much less the other bank of the Tapajós River, as from this place the river is more than five kilometers wide (I took the photo from a slightly higher place) .

As the eldest sibling and only the DAUGHTER in my family, the way the two oldest siblings sometimes acted in Swallows and Amazons actually made my jaw dropped.
#swallows and amazons#eldest sibling#oldest child#eldest daughter#i legit was screaming BABY at the tv every time roger was in trouble or got pouty or cried#Enjoyed the movie but some scenes actually made my heart pounce out of my chest#What do you mean you’re leaving Tatty alone on the island?#What do you mean you’re making Roger guard the boat?#And giving him a knife?! That baby shouldn’t even be holding a butter knife#The elder sister maternal instincts came out while watching it#Couldn’t enjoy it fully with my jaw dropping#His brother also told him to die#I wanted to comfort him so bad#So I squeezed my youngest brother’s cheeks any chance I got#They’re practically the same age#Did anyone else do through the same thing?

Also fuck you Matthew Sidey again for taking my fucking dvd’s and never giving them back and then “Oh I moved I must have lost them but sure I’ll meet you for a drink again now that you’re actually 21″ bullshit ass your books sucked I fucking hated Ishmael I want my goddamn dvds back.
#My dvds were worth 15x the amount of any book he ever lent me. Piss of a boat in the amazon like Murderface bro. I'm still so mad.#I will always be mad untill those dvds are back in my possession without me having to pay for them.#I HAVE the digital copies I don't care I want MY DVDs of them.
