Whether it’s our electronics, clothing, furniture, cars… we need to be using our things for longer🪛
Let's take a laptop - 80% of emissions happen before it even gets into the user’s hands. Meaning the best way to prevent them is to keep your existing laptop running💻🏃♀️
Celebrate #RepairDay by having a go at repairing something you own and giving your stuff a second lease on life! 🎉

US officials have said that there is a “growing distrust” between the Biden administration and the Netanyahu government over what the Israelis are telling the Americans about their military and political plans in the multi-front war it is waging, Walla reported on Tuesday.
The distrust is growing against the backdrop of the attack that Israel is planning against Iran, in response to the latter’s missile attack last week.

Biden is so deluded that he probably thinks he will be celebrated as a hero in the history books. 🏴☠️

Smaller Sibling
Often overlooked due to its proximity to Goðafoss, this neighbouring cascade has the same volume but is much narrower, forming an interesting chute.
The geology around it is particularly beautiful too, with basalt formations and rock arches. In winter, we've seen ptarmigan in these caves, white plumage obvious against the brown rock.

"To save the ocean we're going to have to kill the ocean"
"The former Federated Farmers president turned ACT MP is as fresh as can be. Elected in 2023, a month after becoming an MP he was Minister of Biosecurity."

You what now? We've got Queen St Farmers into charge of f%&king biosecurity? The people who wanted to import an infectious disease to kill rabbits (and eventually did in violation of biosecurity rules)?!?
(1/?)
Speaking of which, one thing I didn't notice was any discussion of what's *feeding* the algal bloom. FedFarmers types love to deflect from that question by babbling techno-solutionism at us. Just like the coal industry love to babble about carbon capture (a mythical technology right up there with zero-point energy).
Why? Because what's feeding the algae is most likely the same thing it usually is; nitrogen-overloaded farm runoff.
(2/?)
I don't know enough about the ocean currents around Aotea to speculate on where that runoff might be coming from. But someone who does could tell you which major rivers feed into the waters around the island. I guarantee you that the industrial farms bordering those rivers are the true source of the algal problem.
So that's the supply side. So what kind of intervention might actually help, *without* killing the ocean to save the ocean?
(3/?)
As the late, great Bill Mollison once quipped, "the problem is the solution". The example he gave was that a gardener doesn't have an oversupply of slugs, but a deficiency of ducks : P
I once heard another permaculturist, USAmerican David Blume, talking about using weighted nets to grow kelp in nitrogen-poisoned oceanic dead zones. Then harvesting it for food, salt, biofuel, whatever.
(4/4)
Just as ducks turn slugs into eggs, the people of Aotea could be turning the poison feeding their algal problem into a fuel source.
If they can grow and harvest enough noninvasive algae, maybe they can get toasters? ; )

> but given that the byproducts were to be disposed of likely by burning without doing anything productive with it, you're getting a lot more useful energy out of one unit of crude oil, making things much more efficient
Agreed. If you're going to kill the bison, use the whole bison.
Of course, with both fossil fuels and bison, you reach a point where you realise that in most cases you shouldn't be killing the bison at all. But as you say, that's a separate issue.

At least 17 Palestinians were killed in relentless Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, according to medics and witnesses.
Gaza’s Civil Defense Service said that its medics had recovered the bodies of nine people, including children, following a strike on a home in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City.
“An entire family was wiped out in this new massacre,” an eyewitness told Anadolu.

When will the US finally act to hold Israel accountable?
While the U.S. has waged war in the name of spreading democracy, it blatantly refuses to hold Israel accountable for its deeply undemocratic actions and violations of international law in Gaza and the West Bank, including its treatment of prisoners like my cousin. There are many days when I wake up and I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. As a Palestinian, the gaslighting rhetoric of the Israeli and American governments feels deeply dissonant. On one hand, I am force-fed the American values of democracy, justice and morality, while on the other I watch my people slaughtered by Israeli soldiers using weapons and tax dollars that we give them, abducted and imprisoned without regard for human rights or international law, all for the purpose of maintaining a brutal system of apartheid.
