To the seasons of life
The escape from urban pressure begins the Merritt this weekend with the Bass Coast concert on the Valley.
Due to supply issues only ❄️ showers this year.
Bass Coast is “a near perfect confluence of people and music”
Dandy lions and bees. So does everybody know that Google is said to have rented goats and got service from both ends on its lawns at it’s headquarters. That begs the question what other nuisance is employed against the grain of some people’s sensibility.
When coming to the environment one must be careful there is something in it to offend everyone and often it does.
There are literally hundreds of these little creatures that we call bees. Some are pollinators extraordinary which when it comes to some flowering weeds might put them on the wrong side of you. Manicured lawns often do better with lots of watering that seems weeds take advantage of it when there isn’t this much watering.

Before we go silly with this there are good reasons for this endeavor as it relates to the environment.
One being :
In the absence of naturally occurring coloration a substitute for light colors such as white over dark colors such as black will decrease the absorption of heat and promote the reflection of light and heat back towards space.This is a good thing especially in times when the white reflective pools covered in snow and ice are diminishing and showing dark ground that would love to absorb any heat that was available. As well painted panoramas of live trees may have a calming effect on some people as they walk about or drive about. You could test this theory by painting some relief of weedy ground maybe ad a goat. Some how this idea lacks comfort in my viewpoint. So that leaves the actual property Care at home that would have less of a permanence and be comforting in the fact that it can be managed and it’s not forever.
The province of British Columbia how often puts on fire safe courses and I know from experience that they’re easily questioned and open the discussions on what’s the best way to make your property fire safe and at the same time not inconveniencing the present ability of the property.
The time in the spring that dandelions are a nuisance is only compounded by the fact that they spread seeds however you can spread your seeds you can put them in a pile on the dry out nicely in the window pick them up and send them away and if you get big black plastic bags to deal with them they’re out of your control by for part of the time that they go to the landfill perhaps try a black polyethylene sheet a black polyethylene sheet glued out on the ground to absorb heat, place the dandelions and Weeds on it and just get an idea of how quickly they can be dried out in a way that makes disposal in a local burial pit practical.
Being blind to the fact this youngster could be nefarious conductor of heat you might say more everywhere please.No no weeds under concrete!
Yes, and this conductor doesn’t have an orchestra. It only conducts heat and cold and it’s up to you on how you employ it which it will choose to do. So you could plan it’s they so it wouldn’t be lost and lonely and it could be productive preserving heat for when you need it and conducting the cool 😎 when most beneficial to you. That’s also your value to begin it is like contractors city planners and more. The way you put these things out and the way you plant around them can be as planned as you want it to be.
So back to our main topic those dandelions, round up the cost of not buying toxic poisons and make a donation at your local outlet that offers these things or to organizations like mind it to you in your rebirth has a environmentally astute liver.
Stay safe ❤️

TMX, Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, Edmonton to Burnaby has plans to upgrade its storage capacity as well as its loading to ship’s efficiency. The existing line from Edmonton to Burnaby will be 70 years old in 2023. The twinning of the pipeline declared to be a national interest has increased its cost to a projected 21 billion dollars at completion with its completion date moved to the third quarter of 2023 from its intended December 2022 finish date.
One of its features is a landline fiber that runs on top 🔝 the pipe and has the side benefit of bringing quality internet to several small communities along its approximate1,000 km route.
The Trans Mountain pipeline status is not far from its roots as it was a national interest that was created by an act of Parliament 70 years ago next year. Ownership migrated to the US and conglomerates until the purchase by the Canadian government recently. We hope that its completion will see the public trading of shares and will give Canadians an opportunity to own the security of energy into the future.

There are many considerations if you have concerns for the environment. Location, accessibility, initial outlay, payback.
Government incentives can be as much as $11,000 on upgrades or switching from natural gas or oil, electric furnace, to an electric heat pump. Source BC Hydro
