A LOT of folks need to seriously act to increase ground water / aquifer recharge. Add #wetlands, & #beavers, before it's too late. #EarthRepair #permaculture

If I were President, I'd put the armed forces and the young people to work repairing collapsing ecosystems.

“The ultimate end to a growth economy is the same as an analogous growth: cancer. But for national economies, the victims are nature, soils, forests, people, water, and quality of life. There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world, and train all our young people to help. They want to. We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities, stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience.”
– Bill Mollison

Hmmm.

#RebeccaSolnit shared this image & said "A common response to mention of #renewables is a denunciation of mining for battery materials by people who don't seem to notice that fossil fuel is also mined/extracted -- on a scale that dwarfs everything else."

I seriously wish I knew the actual ratio, which this image does not offer.
😠
There's something to it in that some of the MANY nationwide numbers of heavy equipment already extant, could be making small dams, ponds, wetlands, infiltration systems, #keyline plowing, erosion management, #watershed #restoration, & so on, & would be far better use of a small bit of the remaining oil (most of which, of course, should be left in the ground).
The tools that are destroying #ecosystems can be used for restoration & #rewilding. A bigger outcome (a life-support system🙄 ) with far, far less less oil burned.

“Since the achievement of our independence, he is the greatest patriot who stops the most gullies.”
Patrick Henry (1736–1799) Attorney, planter, & politician

Slovakia invested a few million dollars into #EarthRepair & got billions in savings in reduced #flooding, #drought-resistance, fire-resistance, healthier #watersheds, more #wetlands / #habitat / wildlife, big reduction in erosion, recharged water tables, return of springs, 1000s of people trained / employed.

The Repair Manifesto. If you can't fix it, it owns you. Repairing things is rewarding, liberating, & needed. Once we get good at it, we could also learn #EarthRepair.

I'm not a gamer, except for solitaire & sudoku, & I've imagined a game that would teach #EarthRepair & #permaculture so players would be empowered to actually do that, you know, like, outdoors? With levels inaccessible by staying in front of a screen but rather directed toward manifesting something, like a #garden that fed people. I found this game merely by happenstance. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1593030/Terra_Nil/ "Subverting the builder genre, Terra Nil is about the #restoration of a ravaged #environment."

@astobart it’s a wonderful plant and we are so fortunate to have so much growing wild here in #Washington I’ve learned so much about #wildcrafting from Michael (Skeeter) and his videos are crammed with info. Check out his website for links to all sorts of good things https://friendsofthetrees.net/ a true visionary with #permaculture, #EarthRepair #AlternativeCommunity

Still new here. This reconnecting stuff is all about # hashtags. Now I need to make a hashtag list.
