Community greens (Ecology 🏞️)
Community Greens, sometimes referred to as backyard commons, urban commons, or pocket neighborhoods, are shared open green spaces on the inside of city blocks, created either when residents merge backyard space or reclaim underutilized urban land such as vacant lots and alleyways. These shared spaces are communally used and managed only by ...

The Global Commons: The Safe and Just Space is shrinking
"The planet will only remain able to provide even a basic standard of living for everyone in the future if economic systems and technologies are dramatically transformed and critical resources are more fairly used, managed and shared."

https://earthcommission.org/news/new-research-reveals-paths-to-prosperity-for-planet-and-people-if-earths-critical-resources-are-better-shared/Earth-system boundaries - reducing harm to people and the planet
"The health of the planet and its people are at risk. The deterioration of the global commons—ie, the natural systems that support life on Earth—is exacerbating energy, food, and water insecurity, and increasing the risk of disease, disaster, displacement, and conflict. In this Commission, we quantify safe and just Earth-system boundaries (ESBs) and assess minimum access to natural resources required for human dignity and to enable escape from poverty. Collectively, these describe a safe and just corridor that is essential to ensuring sustainable and resilient human and planetary health and thriving in the Anthropocene. We then discuss the need for translation of ESBs across scales to inform science-based targets for action by key actors (and the challenges in doing so), and conclude by identifying the system transformations necessary to bring about a safe and just future."

A new report warns that climate impacts are triggering tipping points in the Earth system. Tipping points are thresholds that, once crossed, lead to irreversible and catastrophic changes in the climate and the biosphere. The report urges policymakers and the public to take urgent action to prevent a planetary emergency.

Excerpt from "What is #Solarpunk Everything you need to know about solarpunk, how it connects to #ClimateJustice and how to get involved with the movement" by Andrew Sage, published January 16, 2023:
How does solarpunk relate to #degrowth?
"The overlap between solarpunk and the degrowth movement can be found in the understanding that #capitalism’s built-in imperative to grow, expand, exploit, and profit endlessly cannot continue in the context of a #FinitePlanet.
"The degrowth movement is about rejecting the #GlobalCapitalist system’s pursuit of endless growth and advocating for a world based in care, solidarity, and autonomy in which our social and ecological well-being are at the forefront.
"Degrowth means #ClimateJustice and a good life for all within #PlanetaryBoundaries.
"Although aspects of solarpunk and degrowth may benefit from particular government policies, these movements cannot rely on the state. The state is structurally unsuited to ecological restoration, and can even potentially operate as an obstacle.
"The inherently violent and ecocidal character that has marked states from their earliest inception and up to their present incarnations does not lend itself to our liberation. Top-down approaches have consistently failed where local approaches to #rewilding have succeeded.
"The solarpunk movement emphasises local power, local organising, and local #autonomy because the world we envision cannot be imposed from above.
"A forest is more than its trees; ecological restoration requires intimate knowledge with the local nuances of the land, the water cycle, and the network of microorganisms, fungi, plants, and animals that sustain it.
"Our planet will be healed on the #grassroots level. We will need to circumvent the impositions of those in power through direct action to bring a solarpunk world into being."

Mineralization (geology) (Mineralogy 💎)
In geology, mineralization is the deposition of economically important metals in the formation of ore bodies or "lodes" by various process. The first scientific studies of this process took place in the English county of Cornwall by J.W.Henwood FRS and later by R.W. Fox, FRS. The term can also refer to the process by which waterborne miner...

Science funding was hit in 2025. What does that mean for the future? – Consider This from NPR – NPR
Bill Nye, known as “The Science Guy” and CEO of the Planetary Society, urges Congress to protect funding for NASA and the National Science Foundation. Saul Loeb / AFP via Getty ImagesScience funding was hit in 2025. What does that mean for the future?
December 23, 20254:27 PM ET, 11-Minute Listen Transcript
2025 was a hard year for science. The Trump administration upended federal funding for all kinds of scientific pursuits, slashing budgets across agencies like NASA, NIH and NOAA. PR’s Rob Stein and Katia Riddle spoke to scientists and officials who worry that those cuts could cause the United States to lose its competitive edge as a global hub for research and innovation, and steer future generations away from careers in science.

Games for #Degrowth and a Viable Future
Posted on 20 September, 2025 by The #SteadyStateManchester team
by Carolyn Kagan
"Naomi Klein1 asks the question How do you change a world-view, an unquestioned ideology? Much of what we do in Steady State Manchester is to endeavour to change world-views, unquestioned ideologies about economic growth and the exploitation of environmental resources. We seek to enable people to discuss, challenge and develop their ideas and thinking; to help others see that their interests coincide with tackling climate change and securing a viable economic future; to offer hope and possibilities for living better within planetary boundaries; to share practical ways of doing things differently; to provide critiques of current practices but at the same time offer alternatives.
"Games and simulations have been used in training and development arenas for some time and across many different places and groups. They include table top games; video games, educational games, small or large scale role play or simulation games.
"In September 2025 we explored the role that games might play in helping to change world-views. We invited people attending our AGM to:
"Bring along a game, almost any game will do. The idea is that most games could be adapted around the ideas of Degrowth. So there’s the challenge: bring a game and ideas about how it might be adapted or used to inspire a new game that explores or promotes Degrowth.
Ideas for games
The ideas we came up with were mostly small in scale, table top games.
Adaptations of existing games:
- Degrowth Pictionary: Aim: to understand and explore concepts underpinning Degrowth. Following the format of the well known game of #Pictionary, cards are prepared with Degrowth concepts written on them – anything will do for example, anti-capitalism; climate change; collapse; cooperation; commons; fair shares; Limits to Growth; planetary boundaries; tipping points, overshoot; carbon emissions, simplicity. Participants take a card and without speaking draw the concept related to Degrowth, while others guess what it might be. No words are allowed during the drawing, but discussion after each concept is revealed, or after two or three concepts, will help to clarify understanding of the concepts and may identify strategies for change. The challenge is for the sketcher to capture the essence of the concept and for the guessers to articulate what that concept might be.
- Versions of #Monopoly, products of mind games. The aim would be to develop a deep understanding and help move toward collective intelligence and wisdom. Proposed versions of Monopoly included Civil-opoly; Techn-opoly; Polit-opoly; Plent-opoly; Co-opoly – each version emphasises a theme relevant to Degrowth and build on the idea of telling different stories (each shown via clever and captivating graphics in the text).
- Degrowth #SnakesAndLadders: Aim: particularly for younger players, to understand the hazards and actions that can be taken in achieving a viable economy or the green transition. Snakes and ladders boards can be prepared, with short messages on the squares rather than just numbers. Ladders represent actions towards a viable economy and snakes the hazards that detract from a viable economy. The Board could be labelled in terms of general Degrowth (e.g. ladders: waste is recycled; government funds adaptations to homes for insulation and electric heating; a neighbourhood has all it needs for local people; public transport is good; e.g. snakes: you fly several times a year to go on holiday; you buy new shoes and chuck out the old ones which are still good etc.). Alternatively boards could reflect a Degrowth theme: for example inequality; climate change; biodiversity. Discussion takes place throughout so all players explore why the ladders make progress and the snakes do not.
- #Patience: the well known card game, known in the USA as #Solitaire, embodies in and of itself many features of a Degrowth future. The aim of playing Patience is to help players appreciate a move towards a slower, way of life, with intrinsic satisfaction in playing the game itself. Patience is slow, with no particular end point. There is no element of competition and players have to accept they cannot win, but just call an end to the game whenever they like.
- Degrowth draughts: in conventional #draughts (North America, ‘#chequers / #checkers’) the aim is to eliminate all your opponent’s pieces. In Degrowth draughts, the aim could be to jointly reach a pre-defined, right-size complement of pieces. However, each player has to move in turn and if an opponent’s pieces can be taken, they must be, as in the original game, or you will be ‘huffed’. The game would introduce the ideas of degrowth to a steady state and of co-operative action to correct the bloated economy.
Existing games that feature (some) aspects of Degrowth
#CarbonCityZero: a board game to get people talking (and learning) about the choices our towns and cities needed to make in order to take action on climate change. Available to buy.
#Daybreak: Daybreak is a cooperative boardgame about stopping climate change. It presents a hopeful vision of the near future, where you get to build the mind-blowing technologies and resilient societies we need to save the planet. The game requires players to work collaboratively.
#ClassStruggle: The Workers move around a board while trying to survive against the Capitalist player who controls everything. As the Workers unite they take power from the Capitalist player but if they do not succeed in uniting the Capitalist will win. Out of production but it might be possible to find second hand copies."

Piperno (Geology ⛰️)
Piperno is a magmatic rock present in areas where there has been volcanic activity. Piperno abounds in Campania; the areas from which it was obtained were the city of Quarto, Soccavo, Pianura and Nocera Inferiore in the supervolcano region of the Phlegraean Fields. The Piperno layer, with the overlying Breccia Museo, is clearly visible at the base of the Camaldoli hill, in the Soccavo and Verdolino ...
