Doubtless it detracts from 'shareholder value'.

And is probably of greatest benefit to voters of little value to shareholders.

It’s quite something how 'shareholder value' takes a priori precedence over absolutely everything else of value under the hyper-neoliberalist economic model (a train without brakes), including the planet itself.

Everyone in their little bubbles, some polluted and hot, some climate-controlled with a lovely buffet.

It can't last long this way.

Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the world's largest salt flat, which transforms into 'the world's largest mirror' (used for calibrating the altimeters of Earth observation satellites) during the rainy season, when a thin layer of water covers the surface. This creates a breathtaking natural phenomenon where the sky and clouds are perfectly reflected, offering surreal and stunning views.

Incredible to see this.

At long last.

Though, still, Netanyahu relies on Hitler-lover Trump to keep himself propped up.

And Trump delivers.

Beaver ponds are insect and amphibian biodiversity factories that birds and bats rely on.

This year as I was thinking over how to educate children at the festival I thought why just rely on exhibitors, why not enlist their parents too to deliver the message? Teaching them means they can help their child AND learn something in the process.

@carolannie @ml Beavers and wildfire, a podcast!

`

In this episode, we learn about how beavers are not only champions of wildfire resilience but are also sleeper endurance athletes (climbing mountains to find new watersheds), dedicated anti-capitalists (not giving a **** about the regulatory or material concerns of humans), expert engineers (casually restoring entire watersheds) and pretty handy companions to have in our pursuit of restoring habitat...
