  1. #Florida: Donations wanted for #OrlandoFL and #JacksonvilleFL #LibraryOfThings!

    "The #CenterForBiologicalDiversity fights not only to protect wildlife and wild lands in Florida but also to address the underlying causes of the extinction crisis, including the excessive production and consumption of new products.

    "That’s why we’re excited to announce that we’re working with #Shareable and other partners to establish Library of Things pilot projects in Orlando and Jacksonville.

    "A Library of Things is a shared community resource where useful items can be borrowed just like books that are in circulation for years, reducing the demand to produce new goods that destroy habitat, generate greenhouse gases, create pollution, and harm wildlife.

    "Sharing also disrupts the current U.S. economic model that demands endless growth through the constant purchasing of new things. It challenges the traditional consumerist mindset that drives overproduction and leads to items getting thrown away after only a few uses.

    "You can support this effort by donating items from the library’s wish lists. Whether it's a bicycle repair kit for someone who bikes for transportation, kitchen items for a new university student, or a generator for emergency preparedness, every item counts. By donating, you’ll help neighbors save money and push back against the culture of consumerism.

    Here's how it works

    "The Jacksonville Library of Things pilot, located at University of North Florida dormitories, is looking for donations of board games, kitchen items, phone chargers and tools to be used by students living in the dorms, based on a needs assessment conducted with students in partnership with the University.

    "The Central Florida Tool Library (serving Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties) is seeking donations related to disaster preparation and response, as well as home repair and maintenance. These items were identified based on conversations between community members and our partner, #CentralFloridaMutualAid.

    "Each wish list notes whether the item can be gently used or refurbished or must be new. (Certain products must be new for the libraries to ensure they meet safety and fire code standards. But purchasing these items once to be shared among the community prevents each future borrower from buying more.)

    "Links to secondhand and refurbished sites are included where possible. The wish lists also provide a desired quantity of each item. Once the maximum number of items is claimed, you’ll see the request has been fulfilled. The mailing address to send the products for inclusion in the Library of Things can be found in the wish list."

  2. Americans LOVE #walkable cities, look at any theme park, lifestyle center, or outdoor mall!

    But we won't build that way where we live. Our politicians feed us car culture and we lap it up like fools.

  5. This month, two neo-Nazi groups, Blood Tribe and the Goyim Defense League, are planning a large rally in #Florida. Blood Tribe and the GDL have not publicly released the rally date but over the Labor Day weekend seems likely. Comments on the Telegram messaging application suggest that the neo-Nazi rally will take place in or near Orlando.

    Today, we are exposing the leader of the "Dixie" regional division of Blood Tribe, who has been marshaling his forces for the Florida rally.

    Steven Jason Parr presently lives in Athens, Georgia with his wife but hopes to eventually move to Maine, where Blood Tribe’s leader has purchased land. Before he became a fully-fledged neo-Nazi, Parr was an active Proud Boy in Georgia.

    As we document in our article, Parr frequently posts about violence and has a history of harassment. We hope #AthensGA residents will circulate this information and warn about Parr. We also seek further details about Parr's work -- he has mentioned working on air conditioning but we do not presently have a company name.
