If I put Aloe vera on the wood, these termites would laugh at me. It’s useful for many things, but insects are not deterred by it.

Pretty sure that is the neem doing the work, but thank you for all of this information! You have gone above and beyond to answer this question for a stranger on the internet.

Not with that attitude.

One more reason to plant more fruit trees…

I agree with you that there are people who will read news like this and use it as an excuse to continue with destructive practices and that we should exercise caution in sharing such “good news” for that reason… but also, a little resilience means that there is still a chance to do something before it’s too late.

painkillers

paracetamol and ibuprofen

…Call me when they discover an opium tree.

Back in my day, the Tesla Model S was the best of the best. It doesn’t seem so long ago…

If fruit forest projects and vegan intentional communities qualify, then the projects listed on this page all seem cool. Runa Pangaia is explicitly solarpunk.

For anyone interested, the folks at Amazon Restore seem very much aligned with the ideas of ecological sustainability and personal freedom and how these two things support each other. (I am too, of course.)

Cooking your food is bad for you. Kills nearly all the nutrients in your food. Haven’t done so in years and don’t miss it. Many other ways to process your food that improves flavor and texture. And it’s healthier.

A moment of silence…

My guess is that this is counting “grass-fed” animals and feed crops separately.

Fruit-eating kids seem to be smarter than average…

Ripe is when the starches have converted to sugars as much as possible but there is not yet any significant fermentation. In Cavendish subgroup bananas, this generally occurs when the peel has numerous brown spots on it. Some bananas (plantains) are totally black when ripe. Some don’t change colour after turning yellow, and ripeness must be judged by softness…

It was supposed to be an image, but I guess it didn’t work.
