    Make clothes lines for drying clothes after washing them go viral, its easy and fun and saves a ton of energy! Clothes drying racks can be used indoors too and they work really well. There is so much energy available from the wind and sun for clothes lines out doors, that works probably the best, drying 3 or 4 loads of wash at one time really works just fantastic! Saving energy!

    She is so passionate about this. Suzie really is a sustainable exemplar here. Not only does she do the things she talks about, she gets excited about change and looks forward to how all of the good practices like these will help in bringing life back to communities decimated by cod.
    Seaweed has huge potential, but we need to be smart and responsible about how we adopt this new market into the mainstream.
    Edit: grammar

      Not so new to some cultures.
      In some Asian cuisines, it's been a traditionally eaten food for generations.
      Sushi, for example.
      Also, nori sheets are a delicious savory snack, which are much better for you than chips, etc.

      Fishing and farming fish is part of the reason eating animals and what comes out of them is so bad for our environment, including climate change, wasted resources, deforestation, water pollution, ocean dead zones, etc. Going vegan is the single most effective way for each of us to minimize our environmental footprint. "According to the most comprehensive analysis of farming’s impact on the planet, plant-based food is most effective at combatting climate change. Oxford University researcher Joseph Poore, who led the study, said adopting a vegan diet is “the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth.”

      Joseph Poore switched to a plant based diet after seeing the results of the study.

    Most seeweeds are grown here in China, it contributes in purify the sea water by removing exssive nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It is so eco-friendly. I think we should promote it worldwide.

      I agree. Done right, it could be a boon to wildlife.
      The naturally growing kelp near Monterrey fosters a diverse population of sea life.
      Eating seaweed instead of traditional seafood helps drive down the demand which drives the destructive fishing industry.
      Boycott animal products, including fish!

    This is a really cool topic, and I really like how the seaweed farmer doesn't want to package their seaweed in plastic and hopes for a seaweed based alternative. Can you please get back to them to tell them about ZeroCircle, an Indian based start-up that won a prize at the Tom Ford award for creating dissolvable and edible packaging from seaweed? I'm sure they will be excited to know it is happeing!

    @reforest4fertility 3 года назад +1

    For us landlubbers another, tho directly related, climate saviour is microalgae. Being the fastest growing plant known, rivaling phytoplankton, i believe, so makes oxygen & sequesters carbon faster than any plant known. Tho slowing down the process by lowering the temperature can tweak the algae to become lipid heavy, meaning its oil content is high. Depending on the strain grown can be good for human consumption that fuels the brain development of children & brain recovery for the elderly ( maintenance for adults. Then can also be used as machine fuel in diesel engines that end biproduct (exhaust) is biodegradable. Growing it in open-skied desertified regions (awaiting reforestation, ahem) will not displace the growing of food crops, which growing food should switch to near forests where fertility still is, anyway, by Regenerative Agriculture, to rebuild soil lost since 1945.

      @@reforest4fertility I don't know about markers. As you get older, everything you can do to support brain health is advisable. I am in my mid 60's. I suspect everyone could benefit from Omega 3. Fish flesh often includes pollutants like mercury, PCB's and micro plastics. Fish get Omega 3 from eating algae or eating smaller fish who do so. As you move up the food chain, bio-accumulation of pollutants become problematic.

      @someguy2135 2 года назад

      Good question. I think so. Destructive algal blooms are a result of too much fertilizer from agricultural run off. Seaweed would use some of that and reduce the chances of excess algae which cause dead zones. Animal agriculture is a major cause of the problem.
      Switching to a plant based food system (including seaweed) is the solution.
