I have been experimenting with #GoogleBard and am frankly impressed with the results.

I thought it might help provide ideas for #Greeneralia activity. Although it has not provided any new ideas as such, what it has done is present them in a logical framework which I could then refine.

What do you think?

I'm delighted to discover that #ManAndTheEarth by #PatrickDuncan, published in 1975, was reprinted in 2015 & is still in print in paperback. (I have sent off for a copy & will review for '#Greeneralia' in due course.

His 'Geism' was understood at the time to be introducing a philosophical element into the ecological movement. But seen from 2023, his primary insight was about uniting #Global South/North to act in time to #saveplanetearth.

An idea whose time has definitely come?

@PhilGorman
Yes, quite.

And when Superman fails to materialise, the same people expect the UN or successive COPs to wave a magic wand and save our planet.

But that is like expecting generals to win wars. They don't.
International strategy is important, but in the end, our national leaders go back to their houses, and it is left to every Tom, Dick and Harriet the world over to get the job done.

Best done by talking and sharing?
Perhaps via #Greeneralia?

I think you just started it!
Can you find a friendly solicitor to see what the penalties would be if caught in the act...there is a crime in Jamaica still on the statute (based on UK law?) called 'pradial larceny' - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praedial_larceny
This is mostly used to cover the crops, but I imagine grabbing the land for another use might also apply??
Good luck!
If I could persuade you to write a piece for the upcoming #greeneralia.org, I would be very pleased.

@chrisnelder I am starting a website called '#Greeneralia' which, apart from blog posts/conversations, will be a database (powered by Caspio) to allow the 'rank and file' around the world to communicate with each other on the #ClimateCrisis generally.
