"This one-hectare rooftop oasis has become one of the largest places for animals to touch down, uninterrupted by chemicals and humans, from Monterey Bay all the way to Marin – a distance of about 190 kilometres.
"Though the living roof is small in comparison to other whole-landscape #rewilding projects, the hidden secrets and history of this patch of green hold inspiration and lessons for small-scale rewilding efforts in cities everywhere."

#Arctic sea ice formation remains very slow across the region from the Beaufort to East Siberian Seas. Its current extent is tied for the lowest on record (with 2012) for this time of year.

Last month was particularly striking when looking at only the Northern Hemisphere. It wasn't anywhere close to the previous record.

Trade-free explanation
Trade-free, as the name suggests, refers to a unique form of exchange where neither party is obligated to give or receive anything in return. The trade-free principle applies to all sorts of exchanges, including goods, services, information, and even relationships. This type of exchange is based on the principle of voluntary contribution and complete freedom in decision-making.
It is different from gifting because in gifting, there might still be implicit expectations of reciprocity or a social obligation. Thus, even gifting is not truly trade-free as there may be an expectation of reciprocation, whereas trade-free transactions have no strings attached at all.
For example, open-source software is a good example of trade-free offering because they are free to use and modify by anyone without any strings attached. The developers do not expect any return from the users, making it a trade-free offering.
