i was so heartened to see attenborough's 'a life on our planet'
it actually ends on a quite optimistic note.
i've done a lot of things in my life to tread lightly, but i guess i blew that having 5 kids. tho, they are aware. i dont think any of them will have more than 1, and 2 already cant.

but my farm alone has sequestered the carbon of 30 mature trees, and is a bit of wild in the city.
i'm a cheapskate who has never had a new car, and rarely new clothes.
sir david's note is that we now have a good handle on what sustainable means. it means give 1/3 to nature, and get out of the way. fisheries and wetland rehab has shown this ratio to work.

the language has changed a lot in the 9 yrs i've been doing this. it was permaculture, regenerative ag, and now- rewilding. this is what i did because it's how i roll.

i'm happy to hear that about concrete. coal ash is a pet peeve of mine, so happy to hear they can use it in concrete. but as someone who did ceramic art, i can tell you that it is useful shit left to pollute.
