The Climate Crisis is sabotaging my Wanderlust

SIGN MY PETITION: www.change.org/greenairlines
[or Why we can't just be nomadic anymore]
What do you do if you want to travel this gorgeous planet, but don’t want your airplane emissions to kill the very planet you’re trying to see?
Does seeing the world help ruin it?
The carbon emissions of flying is a big deal since we are in a climate emergency. Not trying to sabotage your wanderlust, but it is something to think about on a personal level AND most importantly on an industry level, pushing for change from airline companies.

Просмотров 4735 лет назад

Chickens contribute way more to your permaculture garden than just eggs. Meet my rescue chickens, Lucy and Ethel, Gracie and Sarah, and learn how their normal behavior helps your plants grow better. And yes, they have become my pet chickens. They are backyard chickens in my backyard chicken coop, totally free range, and though I'm a beginner, I heart them. I'd highly recommend a garden chicken ...

Просмотров 1925 лет назад

In a time of climate change, why not start a new tradition and celebrate the Christmas holiday with a LIVING Christmas tree? Trees and climate change have a symbiotic relationship. Potted living Christmas trees continue to pull CO2 from the atmosphere which is vital. I’ve included links below to companies that sell and rent living Christmas trees, but you can also just go to your local nursery,...

How to figure out which Fish to Eat (with Seafood Watch)

Просмотров 706 лет назад

There's eating fish, and then there's eating the last fish. Obviously, there is a lot more complexity to fishing than just factory trawling... including aquaculture, recirculating tanks, lift nets, trolling lines, drift gillnets... you name it, we have found ways to get fish out of the water and into our mouths. But our oceans are in disarray and wild fish populations are suffering. The Montere...

That Time I Got Red Tide, and is it Human-Caused

Red tide in Florida in 2018 is no joke. I got pneumonia from it! Here, red tide is explained, and I also delve into how Governor Rick Scott has increased issues with red tide, so his State of Emergency could be by his own hands. It couldn’t be more timely, as Rick Scott vs Bill Nelson is a hot Senate race. Unfortunately, I was in Florida Red Tide algae in the St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Pinellas...

Просмотров 826 лет назад

And it's not what you think... Go Green or go home! People always talk about the importance of getting out into nature and deep wilderness... of "unplugging". My reasons are slightly different than just hiking tips. The importance of nature and BEING in nature can not be stressed enough. But when you're out there, make sure to Leave No Trace and always help to protect the wild spaces of the ear...

Why are there so many planned and/or mandatory C-sections? Wha...
