This fella had an unexpected day off a year ago or 2 years ago and he decided with the fresh snow that he could do something at the river, so he went down and he sledded what he found as far as recyclable stuff back into the economy.
Was it the CO2 holiday that occurred throughout the world because of the pandemic? Anyway, we’re happy to find some healthy Coral and report it to you. From the pi.
Canada’s status as being a sanctuary with and for nature and against nature has been Disturbed. Over eons of time, the continent’s preferred location in the ecosystem found the migration of many species of Flora and fauna that served to make a protective and stable system in our country on the Precambrian Canadian shield.
We are not used to disturbances. They come from time to time but they’ve always seemed to be under control. So let’s hope this warning gives us leave, not just to be thankful but to look at our standards.
Those that control the bubbles will control the world.

Britannia on plastics, 👀
Modern-day miracle.
The invention of plastics and its use in everyday life and it’s taking over from metals was known as a modern-day miracle. It liberated housewives kept us healthier by providing cheap alternatives to freezing food and gave us cheap clothing and better the lifestyles for some time for great populations.
So, what is owed to the legacy of plastics. We would say that what is old is respect and realization that we have to treat its other side with a little more diligence wherever we can.
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.
So Bees…
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.

Painted lawns
Before we go silly with this there are good reasons for this endeavor as it relates to the environment.
One being :
Reflection
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.
Firesafe courses
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.
Window of opportunity
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.
A villain in puberty…
So in one sense we view this photo as a good thing.

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.
Dandelions you be the judge..
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.
Trans mountain in its quest for permiting and Social Licence for its expansion to bring more Alberta fossil fuel and fertilizers to the sea coast is seeing challenges to its operations struck down.
On Tuesday, the Federal Court of Appeal issued an unanimous decision, dismissing four challenges to the federal Cabinet’s approval of the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project. The Court’s conclusion was that there were no legal grounds for setting aside Cabinet’s decision. While the parties challenging Cabinet’s decision are fully entitled to oppose the Project, reconciliation and the duty to consult do not provide them with a veto over projects such as this one.

Earth day is coming up in two and a half weeks and the theme this year is end plastics. Our pet peeve with the world of plastics is the use of plastic in straws. those easily floated and directed little bad boys that scoot to the sea are probably the easies thing to do with out. Why not use a washable spoon on April 22 if you are out, and how about continuing it as a habit? If you can do something its the right direction that counts.
Close to 48 years ago, on 22 April 1970, millions of people took to the streets to protest the negative impacts of 150 years of industrial development.
In the US and around the world, smog was becoming deadly and evidence was growing that pollution led to developmental delays in children. Biodiversity was in decline as a result of the heavy use of pesticides and other pollutants.
