  2. Do Sheets Really Protect Plants From Frost?

    Excerpt: "Do Sheets Protect Plants From Freezing?

    "Yes, sheets can help prevent frost damage. Generally, you should use breathable fabric that won't trap moisture or overheat, which is why old sheets or comforters can work in a pinch (and why plastic coverings aren't recommended). Thicker, heavier sheets provide more protection than thin ones, but you can always double them.

    "Fabric covers do have their limits. The fabric is less likely to prevent damage once the temperature drops below 28 degrees Fahrenheit ( -2.2°C). To protect plants from extreme temperatures throughout the winter, use a more effective method like a #ColdFrame, #HoopTunnel, or #greenhouse."

  7. Essay - How the climate conversation went punk

    From #SlowFashion to #GuerrillaGardening, the internet has transformed solarpunk, a literary movement, into an alternative lifestyle trend.

    Written by Sonal Gupta
    Mumbai | Updated: November 20, 2025

    Excerpt: "In 2020, #SolarPunkFarms cropped up in California as a #communal living space whose inhabitants grow and share their own food. The leftovers are sent to local markets. They have designed their #greenhouse after the animations of #HayaoMiyazaki. In fact, the works of the #StudioGhibli founder have found resonance among solarpunks, as he places nature as a character in his plots. In his visions, nature is at its most beautiful—lush greenery, rays of light, the dew on leaves, and the wind blowing life into trees.

    "Though these changes are encouraging, it’s ironic that as we move past dystopian visions, the #capitalists of the world, running in the #AI race, threaten to steer us to the very future. The use of AI itself depletes water resources and generates immense amounts of greenhouse gases and electronic waste. If we are to live in a world where technology exists in harmony with #nature, #activists, stakeholders, and individuals must actively call for more #SustainableSolutions, #AffirmativeAction, and policy changes.

    "If cyberpunk warned us of what happens when technology consumes humanity, solarpunk invites us to imagine what is possible when humanity reclaims technology. It reminds us that hope, like sunlight, is a renewable resource too."

  8. @food @ecology 🧵

    #Cattle husbandry emits #greenhouse gas.
    For example:
    * South America and the Indian subcontinent breed most bovines who emit most methane.
    * China and the Middle East produce too much livestock methane in regard to their bovine headcounts.

    Emissions of #methane from livestock digestion per world region:

    #Livestock #GreenHouseForcing #emissions #beef #bovines #dairy #GHG #climateChange #FAO #Copernicus #CH4 #climateBreakdown #China #India #Pakistan #MiddleEast #footprint

  9. New review papers shows how vulnerable natural #Antarctic systems are to #ExtremeEvents and highlight how governance and #environmental #protection of the continent must take them into account. Lead author Martin Siegert says: „Reducing #greenhouse gas emissions to #NetZero is our best hope of preserving Antarctica, and this must matter to every country – and individual – on the planet“. eurekalert.org/news-releases/9; frontiersin.org/articles/10.33

  10. Because the #biodegradable version decomposes faster than conventional #gowns, popular wisdom held that it offers a #greener option by less space use and chronic #emissions in #landfills. That wisdom may be wrong.
