Really cool links and ideas, thanks!

I am also quite surprised at how popular he is getting by, basically, just stating obvious stuff.

I mean, I've seen that TED, I'm pretty sure that if just a "normal" guy was up there saying the same things the response would have been mild to say the least.

@InvaderXan

#Africa is getting into #Italy, more and more. In general, Europe is going to eliminate barriers with the North Africa, and going to have an easier passage.

Same thing is to be said about Australia. How will it handle refugee crises, since it's heading more and more in the South East Asia direction?

I can also see how America is getting closer to Russia, while the relationship with Europe are, how to say, divergent. But that's temporary: I'm sure the two will get united again.

All the world is going to be united again.
And that's how you look for #geopolitical evidence in the #PlateTectonics.

@InvaderXan Just saying, but be aware that he probably means hope in a christian-catholic sense, as a theological virtue, which has a different meaning than the day-to-day usage.

@monsterbater I don't feel this discussion is going anywhere.

You make the world a better place with your criteria, points of view and analysis, I'll do the same.

Peace.

@monsterbater Hi,

1. It is. I can say "slavery was abolished" and "women can vote" and "we get to say more or less what we want without being executed", and so on. And in both your and my example, it wouldn't tell us much: there are a lot of explanations, backgrounds and case-by-case analysis to be done that don't resolve in a single, simple, univocally true pattern.

2. I said it in my previous message, it is not. Slowing down the exploitation of natural environments, trying to save diversity, try to save freshwater, planting forests, those are not just useful for our survival

3. Sure it makes a difference. If we are here, we interact with the rest of the biosphere, if we are not here, we don't. That makes a difference for every single being we come in contact with, directly or indirectly. In any ecosystem if you take a species out it makes a difference.

4. I didn't say it is impossible, quite the opposite. It is doable, we have quite some means to make things better, and that was kind of my point.

5. Don't you think that's a bit simplicistic? "give us the rule of law", "taking all the rulers and pointing the most lethal weapon there is in their face", that's not a plan, that's not an analysis, sorry, that's a fantasy. I'm not saying involving higher powers is something that should be ruled out, each one has his/her line of action, that is at the moment not mine.

Hope that makes it clearer =)

@tao@sunbeam.city Oh, I have the same extension, but haven't thought of using it to hide the box.
Yeah, I'd be glad to have your custom css, it doesn't have a special id or class in my UI, so I wouldn't know how to display:none properly

Thanks!

@lpvmc
Local as physically present in the area, not 'global', not 'national'

@bigkafka
I meant to say that those problems are of a higher priority than the refugee crises, in my eyes.
We'll keep having refugees as the ecosystems degrade more and more. I'm not saying not to help them, we should by all means, but keeping in mind that is like taking a cough syrup when you got a bronchites.

Just supporting "good" practices with your purchases is a powerful tool. Is like transforming all you buy into a donation at the same time.. you set an example, and move others.

This, all, is IMHO.

Thanks =)

@tao@sunbeam.city

I'll keep the favorite and boost notification, it's a nice way to meet new people (if you boost me I guess it means we have something in common, maybe I'd like to follow you), but followers yeah, I'd like to hide that! How did you do it? In the web ui, in some other app..?

Thanks for the tip, good one

@soontobe Ah, we'll *surely* try to get people to grow stuff. Anything.

And thanks for pointing out that some people are shy and may be just approaching how to have a seed to germinate... we'll make sure they find a nice environment of people who encourages them and they can feel free to do stuff for the first time without being judged =)

@mcmoots Ah, so there actually is a thing like "neighborhood sustainability group". I didn't know how to define us. Do you have a link to their works, to get some more inspiration?

Doing a fair is a wildly nice idea, thanks, if we get some traction we may do something by spring! Please, if you have more links and resources on other groups' fairs, let me know =)

@shellkr@mstdn.io I'll talk about it with my hacklab, it's also a good excuse to have them and this new environmentalist group to work together.

Thanks!

@socalledunitedstates Your blog is very nice, a lot of cool ideas here! Thanks for writing it and posting it to me. The Helioforge looks awesome.

@glintacp Hi, thanks for your input!

Is a bit outside of our scope, there already are spaces who are more concerned with giving free medical attention and help to people.
What we could do is cooperate with them and grow some medicinal plants, if they need it (my bachelor is in herbalism, should be my field).
That could help us reduce the terrible pharmaceutical waste that goes in the sewer every day, and bringing people closer to plant. Usually insects love medicinal plants flowers, so it's a win-win.

Thanks for picking my brain, it's a good idea

@tilag Thanks, we already have 2 (kind of) community owned bicycle workshops, where we put spare parts, fix them and such. I plan to work closely with them, as we'll need some cargo and stuff to move food and plants around.

Now that you have me to think about it, there is quite a movement doing cycle-powered agricultural tools. Could be a nice a idea to try to work with that, thanks!
