I work on this everyday.

If only technology could produce a creature with four stomachs that could integrate with these plants and produce protein. They should work on that. 😃

Wool grows back every year on grass and rain. It warms you better than plastic and feeds the soil when it wears out. We let the trade collapse anyway. Here is how anyone, anywhere, can help bring it back. - Read the label. Most "fleece" is plastic. Choose real wool. - Buy your bed back from oil. Wool duvets breathe, resist fire, and outlast synthetics by decades. - Put wool underfoot. A wool carpet lasts a generation. Nylon sheds microplastic with every step. - Insulate with it. Sheep's wool beats foam, and foam is just oil. - Buy close to the animal. Straight from farms keeps the money with the shearer. - Compost the old stuff. A wool jumper rots back into the ground. Polyester outlives your grandchildren. - Back it where the big orders are. Hotels, uniforms, fire rules. They could all specify wool tomorrow. - Learn the craft. Knit, weave, felt. Every stitch is a vote. This belongs to no one country. Merino off an Australian ewe, Rambouillet from the American west, Shetland, Harris Tweed. Half the world's wool sits unloved while we dress in oil. None of this needs a hashtag. Just ordinary choices, made on purpose. The sheep have done their part for ten thousand years. The rest is us, reading the label.

Just heard a popular farmer say that he hired an agronomist to make sure that new pests and weeds that he didn’t know about were not in his fields. Maybe we should be working with people that help them understand how their current practices are contributing to potential risks.

It is our job to learn how to succeed no matter our circumstances.

This article was written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve..👍🏽 My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us! I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around. I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it. Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought. We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!! Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ?? Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity." Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in. When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided. My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress. Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country. People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism. Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism. We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

The firefly blinking over your yard tonight has maybe 2 weeks left to live. It spent the last year or 2 as a fierce little predator underground. Fireflies are beetles, and the glow you know is its final act. Before it, the larva lived down in the soil and leaf litter, hunting slugs, snails, and earthworms, injecting them with a paralyzing toxin and slurping them out. Most adults don't even eat. Their whole remaining job is to flash. And that flash is a language. Each species has its own pattern, a coded signal between males and females trying to find each other. Which is exactly why your porch light is a problem. Artificial light at night washes the flashes out, and a firefly that can't be seen can't find a mate. The Xerces Society lists light pollution, along with pesticides and lost habitat, as a leading reason firefly numbers are dropping, with several species now considered at risk. Helping them is mostly about doing less. Cut the outdoor lights on summer nights, or put them on a motion sensor. Leave a corner of leaf litter and longer grass damp and undisturbed for the larvae. Skip the lawn chemicals that poison the soil they grow up in. A dark, slightly messy yard is the only place the light show still happens.

As the United States prepares to celebrate 250 years since declaring independence, the irony is impossible to ignore. Most Americans live in houses the bank still owns. They spend their days generating wealth for billionaires they will never meet. And they are governed by two political parties that work together. Politics is simply a tool of control. "Freedom" has become a hollow slogan, patriotic wallpaper pasted over the cage that keeps you in place.

If your country has enough money to give money to other countries, your taxes are too high.

🚨JUST IN: Packers RB Josh Jacobs who was arrested last week for beating and strangling his girlfriend will be participating in practice today. Head coach Matt LeFleur said it's "business as usual." No team meetings. No players saying anything on Twitter. No media outrage. Nothing. Yet, it was a national scandal when Jaxson Dart said something nice about President Trump.

Amazing how they lied yet again...

🚨BREAKING: Bill Gates Foundation Spent $7.6 Million Engineering Genetically Modified Ticks Designed to Spread in the Wild! The Gates Foundation funneled over $7.6 million to biotech firm Oxitec/Flyttr to develop self-spreading genetically modified cattle ticks. These engineered ticks are built to mate with wild populations and spread the lab-created genes into nature — all funded by Gates to supposedly “control” livestock pests in Africa.
