Interesting article about the popularity of shared e-scooters and e-bikes in Brisbane.

A recent study found that 80% of visitors said e-scooters enhanced their experience of the city and increased the number of places they were able to see and experience.

Unsurprisingly, Brisbane’s robust cycling infrastructure was cited as a factor. Build the infrastructure and the riders will come! 🛴⚡🚲

Researchers say they've designed a floating sea farm that can produce freshwater and crops without any human involvement.

I live on a coast where there’s not a huge amount of farmland and am always interested in solutions that could help us increase our local food security. But I wonder how scalable this particular concept is, and I’m curious about the claims that it uses only solar power and seawater to grow crops. 🤔

How to nudge less meat in diets? A tax is one option; I much enjoyed this paper by Perino & Schwickert (no idea if either are here) showing people are more likely to support a tax on meat if it is related to animal welfare than climate change.

Animals are part of the nexus, and improving farm animal welfare is part of the solution.

"""
The most technologically advanced nations are the most energy- and material-intensive and have the largest per-capita ecological footprints. Hence, the consumer lifestyles of their average citizens (and of the wealthy residents of the developing world) are the least ecologically sustainable on Earth, and cannot be safely extended to humans everywhere.

My dear friend, Farmer Yon, is a lead person at an amazing urban farm in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn (NYC food desert). Look for photos of this wonderful, #antiracist justice-focused cornerstone of community that is a model of #regenerative practice. Totally aligned with #solarpunk .

She was interviewed for a segment of (public radio) Morning Edition last week: https://www.wnyc.org/story/everything-garden-teaches-us-about-life-farmer-yonette-flemming-hattie-carthan-community-garden/

"The digital industry is responsible for 2-5% of global emissions, more than the aviation industry. If the Internet were a country it would be one of the top five polluters.

The.core problem is #capitalism and that it incentivizes #unsustainability & #profits over #sustainability and #society because that's what the laws incentivize.
In fact #public #corporations have to maximize profits ba all means legally possible or risk getting sued by shareholders.

Whereas #cooperatives are also bound to their members/shareholders but with the demand to be sustainable.
Same goes with #subsidies for unsustaonable #agriculture.

It's a subtle shift, but I keep working out which economies I want to participate in, and which I want to withdraw from as much as I can. Large corporate entities seem more life draining than life sustaining.

This is just great. Just because we robbed yearlong colonised countries atom power was kept cheap. France now need to pay 250 times more, what reflects the normal price. Well done. #stopAtom #sustainability
