As the Chair of the local #Pride board, I want to convince the Directors that various #BlackLivesMatter #flags, and #antinazi flags, should be available among the other #gender identity and #sexualorientation Pride flags that we sell at Pride events.
What would you say?

As part of the ongoing #Coal Industry Modernization Initiative (CIMI) process, a commitment to zero discharge of #selenium standard has been suggested. This may correspond to the ongoing consultation with respect to the proposed Coal #Mining Effluent Regulations under the federal #Fisheries Act (RSC1985, c F-14) which states:

-
Though there are many #heavymetals that #coalmining can release to our #freshwater, #selenium has been noted as a particularly risky #pollutant as it bioaccumulates in the #environment reaching toxic levels for #fish, #animals living in riparian areas, and potentially in agricultural #soils and #plants grown in them. This is a risk not only to human #health and the health of aquatic #ecosystems, but also risks the reputation of our regional agricultural products.

Albertans continue to wait for the decisions: on the remaining litigation for the uncertainty created by the Government of #Alberta due to the lack of #consultation; on the new #coal policy; and on the approval process for Northback’s Grassy Mountain project.
The Grassy Mountain project, given the assessment of the Joint Review Panel, remains ‘not in the public interest.’ The reasons are simple: coal #mines produce waste from which #pollutants leach into surface and #groundwater.

-
The report identified impacts to #speciesAtRisk, risks of #contamination of surface- and #groundwater, risks of #airpollution, and that the project did not properly consider #economicRisks in its evaluation (which may be significant for the agri-food sector in our region), while overstating royalty payments. There was no cost evaluation for the long-term treatment of #water (long after the coal mine would be closed) and dubious commitments for #restoration after #mine closure.

Hello (applied) statisticians and biostatisticians,
I am the Agricultural Research Biostatistician based at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Lethbridge Research and Development Centre.
What should I do to make my applied statistics job (i.e., my Performance Agreement) more environmentally-friendly and based on nature-centered values?

Dear Premier Smith and Minister Loewen,
I understand that trapping limits have been removed for #wolverines, lynx, fishers, and river otters.
In the past, unregulated trapping decimated the populations of furbearing #animals in #Alberta.
I am particularly concerned about wolverines, which are listed by the Committee on the Status of Endangered #Wildlife in #Canada as a species of special concern at the national level:

🚜🌱 In this present time, maybe I can advocate for the #RightToRepair, & I can encourage the formation of periurban agricultural co-ops, support Indigenous land stewardship, the planting of windbreaks 🌳, supply knowledge for the growing of #polycultures 🌾, & buy from small farms 🥕. I can advocate for shared tools 🔧, long crop rotations that include perennial crops ♻️, & localized food systems 🍎, & resilient, #biodiverse farms & communities 💚🐦🐺. #ClimateAction #Agroecology #Permaculture

Dear _ ,
🔧🌱 To arrive at your city of the future, we must in this time emerge out from under the planned obsolesence paradigm & legislate the #RighttoRepair. Sharing will be rewarded by institutions & materialism will be stigmatized. 💻👕✨ Who will open the repair café, the reuse library, the tool co-op? 🛠️ We will compost things more often, 🥬 upcycle our clothes, 👚 & demand that many things be made to last. 🏙️♻️ #RepairCulture #CircularEconomy #ZeroWaste #RegenerativeFuture #NoMoreObsolescence 🚯💡

🚨 First Look! My latest peer-reviewed co-authorship is now online in Phytopathology Journal 🧬🌾
📰 Fusarium avenaceum isolates from pea, wheat, & lentil were tested on these three host crops. Pea-derived isolates were the most "aggressive," which motivated our conclusion that inclusion of pea in a crop rotation can increase the incidence & severity of head blight in wheat.

Your future world can be difficult to speak of. ✨ Public nudity will be permitted without harassment by the law. Today I can: support body acceptance; challenge shame-based norms; advocate for policies that protect freedom; 🏛️💡 celebrate self expressions through art, fashion, & movement. 🎨🕺 We can be comfortable in our skin & respect everybody & create a society where people are certain of their safety, no matter what anybody is(n't) wearing. 🌍👣 #BodyFreedom #FutureVisions #Acceptance

With a looming #trade war, local #fruits and #vegetables are attractive. But at what price? Some consumers are suddenly seeing prices skyrocket. Fruit and vegetable #farmers are struggling with #climate linked extreme #weather events. That’s wrecking #harvests and driving up production costs all over the world. But customers can help.

🔥 In the present, I can contribute to the future, where the management of #forests in Western #Canada will be based on holistic #ecological knowledge, including #Indigenous traditional methods. 🌲✨ I can 🌿 promote & advocate for: Indigenous-led land management, 🔥 prescribed burning, & #reforestation with fire-resistant spp; 🌾 policies that restore grasslands & carbon sinks; 🐴 ethical, low-impact logging; 📚 & I can learn more about forest ecology. 🌎💚 #LandBack #FireEcology #ClimateAction

The high upfront costs and burden on consumers of adding nuclear to Australia’s #energy mix have been confirmed in an independent review.
Building nuclear reactors would cost six times more than #wind and #solar #power firmed up with batteries, according to the independent report released on Saturday by the Clean Energy Council.
“We support a clear-eyed view of the costs and time required to #decarbonise Australia and right now, nuclear simply doesn’t stack up,” the...

🌎✨ I envision the future in #Canada, where ≈60 #IndigenousLanguages (& English & French) will be current in society. To enable this future I will: 📚 continue to support #Indigenous language learning & revitalization programs; 🗣️ learn & practice the local Niitsitapi (i.e., Blackfoot) language; 🎓 advocate for language inclusion in education; 📜 support policies that recognize Indigenous languages; 💬 & amplify Indigenous voices & stories. Languages are identities. 🔥 #LanguageRevitalization

🌱🌇 The future of urban agro-ecology begins with our actions in the present 🌿💡 I can support local organic farms, grow herbs on my windowsills, volunteer in community gardens, & advocate for policies that prioritize ecological urban agriculture. 🏙️🍅 What will generate homes, with vibrant gardens, for people in recovery? 🧑🌾💚 What will motivate the rooftop gardens, heirloom seeds, healthier people, & a shared passion for growing & sharing local food? 🌻🌾 #UrbanAgriculture #OrganicLiving

OK so the "Darkness into Light" episode of "Not Your Butter Chicken," which you can watch at this link, shows the #Lethbridge Research and Development Centre where I work.
In this show, it was nice to see Harwinder and Dr. Priti Maheshwari, who both work at the research centre. Dr. Maheshwari is a scientist and prolific organizer of vital multicultural events in Lethbridge.

Dear _ ,
🌱 At this time, I’m preparing my future where I will (still) be physically strong, mentally capable, & genuinely happy. Today, it looks like self-care: doing yoga 🧘, staying curious, embracing community. Small actions now - such as preferring honesty to charm, regular calisthenics, & building a mental space with supportive archetypes - modify my potential 💪🧠. I imagine it like subduction or obduction: an exciting future being made possible 🌞 #WellnessJourney #FutureSelf #MindfulLiving

🌱 The future is a network of narrow, permeable pathways where plants, fungi, & community action restore damaged land, sequester toxins, & bioremediate soils. 🌾 By supporting the research of such technologies & natural remediation methods today, I can reclaim urban spaces & liberate Nature in the future. 🌿 Pluricentric worldviews (self-as-nature) carry us into a regenerative future, when we heal the Earth. 🌍💚 #RegenerativeFuture #EcoRestoration #ClimateAction #GreenSolutions #Community

🌎 Tell me what I can do to reduce my impact on the climate by >½ by 2030 🤔
That said, I'm already vegan and I walk or bicycle everywhere. So, how can I contribute significantly to a regenerative future?
