    #EcoHouse
    22 Veevers Drive, #HamiltonON, Canada

    "Our EcoHouse sits on 2 acres, featuring Hamilton’s first #CommunityGarden , a mini-forest, #RainGardens, #SolarPanels, #PermeablePavers, and more. These grounds require ongoing maintenance to continue serving as an ecological demonstration space for the community.

    In this session, we will learn about any of the following:#PlantIdentification, #biodiversity in the local community, plant science, local green infrastructure initiatives, and more! Gardening tasks can include #invasiveSpecies removal, #mulching planting, #watering, seed sorting, aerating the soil, and other maintenance.

    No experience required! All tools provided, but you may bring your own.
    We will be meeting every Monday from 5:00 pm-6:30 pm!"

  8. Not here, though. We have to pay full retail because the US Senate is garbage. China is rolling out solar like nobody's business. Europe allows plug-in solar panels. Only 10 states do here, because we're America, home of fascism, liars, and frauds in suits with long red ties around their necks, tied to beds binding the wrists and ankles of frightened children at Epstein's.

  9. Video - The Ship Bringing Aid to Power Cuba’s Hospital

    Duration - 3:27

    [a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    Open Arms @openarmsong set sail across the Atlantic carrying seven tons of #SolarPanels, batteries and #medical supplies bound for a children’s #hospital thousands of miles away.

    This hospital, which treats children with cancer, neurological conditions and severe burns, is facing its biggest challenge: a lack of electricity.

  10. Cut Off From Fuel, Cuba Is Still Surviving
    President Trump has tried to strangle #Cuba by blocking its #oil imports. But 6 months later, the island is finding ways to endure.

    ...After a week on the ground, we found that while Cubans are clearly suffering, they are also doing what perhaps they do best: adapting.

    They are swapping their gas-guzzling 1950s American cars for electric motorcycles and rickshaws from China; importing hefty lithium batteries to keep televisions and fans running through blackouts; jury-rigging generators to run on more accessible natural gas; and installing #SolarPanels on rooftops and even vehicles.

    Together, the workarounds amount to a new Cuban energy grid — this one more in the hands of the Cuban people, propping up society with the electricity off and fuel lines dry.

  11. Answer: "No."

    Most #CriticalMinerals are on #IndigenousLands. Will miners respect #TribalSovereignty?

    by Taylar Dawn Stagner, March 26, 2025

    "#Mining — whether for #FossilFuels or, increasingly, the critical minerals in high demand today — has a long history of perpetuating violence against #IndigenousPeople. Forcibly removing tribal communities to get to natural resources tied to their homelands has been the rule, not the exception, for centuries.

    "Today, more than half of the mineral deposits needed for a global energy transition — including #lithium, #cobalt, #copper, and #nickel to make things like #batteries and #SolarPanels — are found near or beneath Indigenous lands.

    "In 2007, the United Nations adopted a resolution called the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [#UNDRIP] that included the right to free, prior, and informed consent to the use of their lands, a concept known as #FPIC. This principle protects #IndigenousPeoples from being forcibly relocated, provides suitable avenues for redress of past injustices, and gives tribes and communities the right to consent to — and the right to refuse — #extractive industry projects like #mining.

    "There’s a lot at stake: When followed, FPIC promises a process that gives Indigenous peoples a voice in how their homelands are used, as well as the right to say no to development altogether. And when it’s not, which is the vast majority of the time, #TribalCommunities are further #disenfranchised, facing #violence and #ForcedRelocation as their #sovereignty and rights are ignored.

    "There are an estimated 5,000 tribal communities around the world, encompassing roughly 476 million people across 90 countries, according to the U.N. Different tribes have different opinions on mining, but rarely is their legal right to refuse extraction projects recognized, even under the 2007 declaration.

    "Grist talked with five experts to better understand what free, prior, and informed consent should look like in this new era of mineral extraction. Their responses have been edited for length and clarity."

  12. Just back from a trip to #Austria (#Stubaital). The photo shows the turf and solar panel covered roof of a sport/leisure centre. This represents about 10% of the panels used at the centre. A whole set of covered car parking bays have panels as well.
