The English lawn is a water-sucking monstrosity that has nothing to do with North American ecology.
The single biggest irrigated crop in America isn't corn, wheat, or soybeans. It's not even avocados or almonds. It's lawn.
We grow more grass than any food crop in the country, around 40 million acres of it, and almost none of it feeds a single living thing.
Think about how strange that is. We took a grass that isn't even from here, planted it coast to coast, and now we pour water, fertilizer, and pesticide into keeping it short, green, and perfectly useless.
To a bee, a butterfly, or a bird hunting caterpillars for its chicks, a manicured lawn is a desert. Nothing to eat, nowhere to nest, mile after mile of it.
But here's the good news, maybe the easiest win on this whole account: you don't have to fix the entire desert. You just have to claw back a corner.
Pick one strip. The hellstrip by the sidewalk, the run along the fence, that awkward patch you hate mowing anyway. Stop mowing it and plant it with native flowers, a few black-eyed Susans, some bee balm, a couple of coneflowers. That's it. No ripping out the whole yard, no fight with anybody. Just convert one piece.
And that piece stops being dead space and starts being habitat: bees, butterflies, and birds showing up to a spot that offered them nothing a year ago.
Now picture your neighbor doing the same, and the one after that. That's how a desert turns back into a meadow, one reclaimed corner at a time.

Tennessee is sending letters to immigrant parents of disabled and terminally ill children enrolled in a last-resort public health program — kids on ventilators, kids with cancer, kids in wheelchairs - telling them that if their child keeps receiving medical care after June 30, the state will report them to ICE.
This program has existed for over 50 years. It has never required immigration status. Until now.
Children's Special Services is Tennessee's last-resort public health insurance program for low-income kids with the most severe disabilities and life-threatening illnesses - kids with no other coverage, no other options. The state just sent letters to at least 90 Nashville families giving them an impossible choice: keep your child alive, or stay invisible.
One mother, Gabriella, has a 10-year-old son born with spina bifida who requires near-monthly emergency care. They're six months from a final ruling on their asylum case. She said if they're sent back to Honduras, "he's not going to make it."
Here's the part that should make your head explode: the law Tennessee is using to justify this explicitly applies only to people 18 and older. These are children. Pediatricians, advocates, and lawmakers are all saying the state is misapplying its own law to reach kids it was never meant to cover.
The Tennessee Justice Center says the directive is unlawful and is preparing a legal challenge. But families are afraid to come forward as plaintiffs. Because coming forward means being seen.
The state health department has not responded to a single press request for comment.
What kind of government sends a letter to the mother of a child on a ventilator and calls it immigration enforcement?

What are greenhouse gases?
Greenhouse gases are gases in the Earth's atmosphere that trap heat, contributing to the Greenhouse Effect. They include:
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Methane (CH4)
- Nitrous oxide (N2O)
- Fluorinated gases (F-gases)
- Ozone (O3)

Agricultural runoff from South American and west Africa have created a giant problem.
Scientists stunned by massive brown ribbon stretching across Atlantic from Africa
A 37.5 million tons of pelagic sargassum, a species of brown seaweed, forming an unbroken band from the coast of West Africa to Gulf of Mexico. This Atlantic Great Sargassum Belt simply did not exist 15 years ago.

Basically Satanyahu controls the US
BREAKING: Benjamin Netanyahu says he will not comply with President Trump’s peace deal with Iran and will strike Iran and Lebanon whenever he deems necessary.
Netanyahu says he does not see eye to eye with Trump on the issue and that he is responsible for Israel’s security.
Nethanyahu needs to be removed.

Capitalism creates nothing. Capitalism is a mechanism that allows non-productive rich people to extract (steal) wealth from the productive labor of others through control of government and armed force.
Labor creates everything.

Spray people with toxic chemicals and their food supply, too. That is genocidal. The Third Reich leadership would have been proud.
Lebanon files formal complaint with UN over Israel's use of cancerous herbicide, violating Chemical Weapons Convention
——
Lebanon has filed a formal complaint with the UN Security Council accusing the Israeli military of carrying out a chemical warfare campaign targeting agricultural lands near the Blue Line, Lebanon's Foreign Ministry confirmed. The diplomatic escalation follows a February aerial operation where Israeli aircraft sprayed southern Lebanese border villages, including Aita al-Shaab, with extreme concentrations of the toxic weedkiller glyphosate.
Laboratory analysis of soil and plant samples from the targeted zones revealed chemical concentrations reaching a staggering 22,750 micrograms per gram—more than 11,000 times the standard levels used in conventional farming.
The Lebanese government explicitly categorized the border spraying as a deliberate war crime intended to systematically poison the environment, destroy local livelihoods, and render entire border communities uninhabitable. The complaint states that the deployment of high-density toxins constitutes a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law and the Chemical Weapons Convention.
UN officials have voiced serious alarms over the long-term impact of the chemical assault, confirming that the operation threatens the health of civilians, risks permanently ruining vital farmland, and violates UN Resolution 1701.

The Zionists are stealing land.
BREAKING: Israel won't withdraw from land seized in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza, its defense minister says, hours after an interim Iran-U.S. deal was announced. Israel Katz's remarks are the first official Israeli comments since the announcement. apnews.com/article/iran-us-w…

He also arrests people for criticizing Zionists online and hasnt met an imperialist war he doesnt love.
Starmer is an autocrat.
We are banning social media access for under 16s.
These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.
I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.
Community note
The UK Government's 'careful review' of the research found a small correlation between children's use of social media and wellbeing, but no evidence of a causal effect:

1/3 of all food produced is wasted. If food waste were a country, it would be the 3rd largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
Let’s stop fighting nature and start farming with it. 🌿✨

Another major environmental catastrophe that impacts on climate and world trade, but it is not on the radar.
The following link is a good video of the Sargassum problem, a pelagic seaweed floating on the surface of the ocean.
When we sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, we got stuck three times in giant mats of Sargassum. The video gives a good explanation of what happens in the Caribbean when it washes ashore, but it misses the major environmental and economic implications that have a profound impact on world trade and marine life in an entire ocean.
The Sargassum starts off from the coast of Brazil; it picks up nutrients from the Amazon and grows at an accelerated rate. It can double in biomass every 10 days. The weed crosses the South Atlantic to Africa and flows up the west coast, picking up more nutrients from the Congo and Gambia as well as agricultural run-off. By the time it reaches North Africa, Cape Verde, it takes a left turn and starts heading back across the Atlantic to the Caribbean.
There should only be 1 million tonnes of the weed in the Atlantic, but there are now 40 million, and it is expanding year on year. Sargassum is a plant, and like all plants, it requires nutrients such as phosphate. However, the massive amount of weed uses up all the phosphate and then biochemically defaults to absorbing arsenic, which sits below phosphate in the periodic table.
The Equatorial Atlantic is now devoid of phosphate, which means there is almost no phytoplankton, zooplankton or fish. When we conducted our citizen science project, 5000 samples were collected by 25 yachts at around 15 deg. North, and the results all confirmed that the Equatorial Atlantic was effectively dead.
The results were not ignored by the academics; instead, they attacked the Citizen Science project, this has become the subject of a reports by seethroughnews.org.
Given the phytoplankton, such as coccolithophores and diatoms, have exhibited a regime shift, it also means the SML oil surfactant layer is gone, which means evaporation across the air-water interface has increased and aerosol/cloud formation has decreased.
Satellite.
Imagery confirms a 10% increase in humidity and a 10% decrease in cloud formation and rain.
This is climate change TICC, the consequences.
Impact on Central America, the survival of the tropical rainforests, mangroves, coral reefs, 25% of all marine life in the Atlantic and water supply for the Panama Canal. 6% of world trade and 40% of USA trade pass through the canal, and it has been totally missed as a major economic and environmental catastrophe.

Note: ranchers, also, are devouring water and farmland.
Ranchers Sound the Alarm: Data Centers Are Devouring Water and Farmland
While the AI hype train rolls on, ranchers are watching data centers explode across rural America — sucking up the water, land, and energy needed to grow food. This is not Chinese propaganda, as some claim; it's reality.
One large facility can drink 5 million gallons of water per day. That's enough for 140,000 cows. Smaller ones still rival 30,000-head herds. Projections show data centers could claim 3-9% of Texas’s total water by 2040, with similar strains hitting other states.
In Georgia, one data center “lost” nearly 30 million gallons through "improperly tracked connections" while locals were forced to conserve water. These are built for 50 years of operation, even in drought-prone West Texas, Arizona, New Mexico—regions already stretched thin by aquifer decline and extreme weather.
Ranchers can’t just relocate when shortages hit. The technocrats are giving priority the servers powering their AI surveillance and narrative control, to the detriment of the producers who actually feed the country.

Trump has now opened all five U.S. marine national monuments to commercial fishing, ending long-standing fishing restrictions across millions of protected ocean acres.
Conservationists warn the move puts habitat for whales, sea turtles, sharks, and coral reefs at risk. 🚩

The General Sherman Tree. By volume, it’s the largest living tree on Earth and is estimated to be 2,500 years old!
Despite their importance old growth forests continue to be logged globally. It's time to protect the irreplaceable.
