"Businesses like to talk about the concept of a closed loop or circular economy, but often they’re trying to close small loops. Releaf Paper takes dead leaves from city trees and turns them into paper for bags, office supplies, and more—which is to say they are striving to close one heck of a big loop.

How big? Six billion trees are cut down every year for paper products according to the WWF, producing everything from toilet paper to Amazon boxes to the latest best-selling novels. Meanwhile, the average city produces 8,000 metric tons of leaves every year which clog gutters and sewers, and have to be collected, composted, burned, or dumped in landfills.

In other words, huge supply and huge demand, but Releaf Paper is making cracking progress. They already produce 3 million paper carrier bags per year from 5,000 metric tons of leaves from their headquarters in Paris.

Joining forces with landscapers in sites across Europe, thousands of tonnes of leaves arrive at their facility where a low-water, zero-sulfur/chlorine production process sees the company create paper with much smaller water and carbon footprints...

“In a city, it’s a green waste that should be collected. Really, it’s a good solution because we are keeping the balance—we get fiber for making paper and return lignin as a semi-fertilizer for the cities to fertilize the gardens or the trees. So it’s like a win-win model,” [Valentyn] Frechka, co-founder and CTO of Releaf Paper, told Euronews.

Releaf is already selling products to LVMH, BNP Paribas, Logitech, Samsung, and various other big companies. In the coming years, Frechka and Sobolenka also plan to further increase their production capacity by opening more plants in other countries. If the process is cost-efficient, there’s no reason there shouldn’t be a paper mill of this kind in every city.

“We want to expand this idea all around the world. At the end, our vision is that the technology of making paper from fallen leaves should be accessible on all continents,” Sobolenka notes, according to ZME Science."

Dc au- felt like being goofy

…but since Shadow is raising these plants i think we can classify this as a case of passing on generational trauma.

Волшебство зимних праздниках в потрясающей коллекции красочных иллюстраций Таши Тюдор.

Таша Тюдор, урожденная Старлинг Берджесс (28 августа 1915 года - 18 июня 2008 года) - американская художница и писательница, ставшая знаменитой благодаря своим детским книгам и образу жизни в стиле викторианской эпохи. Ей захотелось жить в 1830 году, и она своими руками построила этот мир вокруг себя.Она одевалась в длинные платья викторианской эпохи, носила фартук и чепец, топила плиту дровами и носила воду из колодца. Вставала рано, доила коз, делала сыр и взбивала масло, собирала яйца, пекла хлеб и печенье, варила варенье. И каждый день устраивала послеобеденный чай для детей и друзей, за которым всегда рассказывали интересные истории. Но главное, она рисовала, писала книжки, мастерила игрушки, всевозможные поделки, выращивала цветы и необычные растения.

 Рисовать Таша начала с раннего детства. В юности она писала маленькие рассказы и сама их иллюстрировала. Училась в Бостонской школе изящных искусств. За свою долгую жизнь художница проиллюстрировала порядка 100 книжек для детей, часть из которых написала сама, а также множество праздничных открыток. Таша Тудор рисовала в основном акварельными красками по бумаге и картону. Ее рисунки привлекают своей многофигурностью и проработкой деталей, милыми пасторальными сценками и праздничными сюжетами. 

The magic of the winter holidays in this stunning collection of colorful illustrations by Tasha Tudor.

Tasha Tudor, born Starling Burgess (August 28, 1915 – June 18, 2008) was an American artist and writer who became famous for her children's books and Victorian lifestyle. She wanted to live in 1830, and she built this world around herself with her own hands. She dressed in long Victorian dresses, wore an apron and a bonnet, heated the stove with wood and carried water from the well. She got up early, milked the goats, made cheese and churned butter, collected eggs, baked bread and cookies, and made jam. And every day she hosted afternoon tea for children and friends, at which interesting stories were always told. But most importantly, she drew, wrote books, made toys, all kinds of crafts, grew flowers and unusual plants.

Tasha began drawing in early childhood. In her youth, she wrote short stories and illustrated them herself. She studied at the Boston School of Fine Arts. During her long life, the artist illustrated about 100 children's books, some of which she wrote herself, as well as many holiday cards. Tasha Tudor painted mainly with watercolors on paper and cardboard. Her drawings attract with their multi-figure and detailed elaboration, cute pastoral scenes and holiday stories.

"Trick or bees!"

(hands over a suspicious-looking, taped-shut box labeled "Definitely Not Bees Inside")

*takes the box outside and sets it down carefully next to the nettle patch, hands you one of the magpies that lives in the garden*

His name is Algernon and he loses fights a lot
