What is this word “acknowledge” doing? What’s a better word to use?:
“ However, advocates acknowledge that no single model will work everywhere, as communities face different economic, geographic, and social constraints.

“The lesson so far, Griffith says, is less technical than expected.

“"People don't trust the internet a lot, they don't trust the government a lot, but they do trust their neighbours," he says.

“The fact that neighbours are showing neighbours how to save money and save the planet at the same time — that's the secret sauce.”

Yay! Love the secret sauce - and what Yack’s achieved 🤗
Another interesting takeaway:

“A new study conducted by research consultancy 89 Degrees East polled 1,965 people living in renewable energy zones across Australia, suggesting that the majority — 63 per cent — support the shift to renewable energy.

“However, 33 per cent of respondents believed most people in their area did not support the transition, showing a significant gap between actual and perceived support.”

Everything went well & everyone was happy with our 1st neighbour to neighbour resilience initiative event. I'll post more photos soon. Compiling some notes for the post community event grant report & will work with organizer over next few months to complete that. We are using most of the remaining grant funds to create a neighbourhood community seed library. We are creating a private Signal group with several of our neighbours to continue more community building, right in our neighbourhood 💚🙌

Elena, in the t-shirt, was the event organizer. Her family is from Russia. They taught how to make fridge pickles. They live 5 houses from us. Wonderful immigrant family 💗

Good enough WiFi signal to move reminders to the cloud while the laundry launders? #neighborhood #household #workers #neighbours #infrastructure #publichealth

The walls in apartment blocks are thin, and sometimes you overhear things that make you think about how people treat each other (or don't). A short reflection:

Barn – Informujte.cz

I live in a block of flats (barn). There are also my neighbours living. I was walking in the hallway when I heard: “You fucking cunt,” which was directed to another person in that household.
