Hey it’s also important to prepare ourselves for a changing climate so thank you for sharing.

Want to hear something to make your blood boil? COP28 is being held in UAE and run by an oil tycoon

What are these online thrift stores? I’d like to check that out

Great idea with the reusable containers

These are great steps and I love that they’re not mega lifestyle changes but easy to do and make work for you. I’ve been eating less beef too. Not none, but less. And I’ve got a little idea been bouncing in my head for a while: Guinea pigs. They are common food in South America. They eat almost anything, take very little space, and I’ve never tried one but I gotta admit they look tasty and they are very sustainable. I’m probably going to catch hate for saying that but damnit they’re trying to convince us to eat bugs!

As Thrawn pointed out, that offer is in the instance sidebar and not the community sidebar. Maybe that’s why nobody has seen it! Omg NataliePortland get it together! Y’all DM your address

Good for you with investing green. Can you recommend a mutual fund?

Oh that’s very good info about the water heater. So you’re saying that if my house lost power I could drink from that for 100-300 L? Good to know.

I knew about the 6 month cycle for water and I got tired of that chore so instead I just have unopened gallons. Those are fine, right?

That’s interesting with the sump pump, I haven’t heard of that before.

I love the CSA idea. My local one isn’t taking applicants until March so I just signed up for imperfect foods until then. I would love to get a CSA going.

Great work on that! What did it cost to go solar?

[–] admin@thegarden.land 3 points 2 years ago

This is great. What do you see as the main hurdles to this and how do you speak to them effectively?

I am working with a neighborhood organization to improve tree canopy in my urban area. I got involved with my neighborhood association and another org in an effort to build and strengthen my community. I would love to take more action but I’m not sure what or how. Starting to see now that working together with people helps make us more resilient.

I’m very interested in plants and growing food, which I think is valuable skill now and will only get more valuable. I would love to find ways to adapt agriculture to a shifting climate.

Another thing I’m doing which is simpler is some basic disaster preparedness. I have 20 gallons of water and a big box of non perishable food in my shed, and my wife and I have a plan of where to meet up in an emergency. It’s not “doomsday prepping” just a modest bit of preparation.

My thing is I have to scrape my fingernails against everything and if a surface is rough I hate it and don’t want to be around it.

Why is there no adjective form of the word integrity? If someone has integrity they are _____? Because integral means something else so it can’t be that.

I suggest integratuitous.
