Jobs for the weekend - 29/30 Mar

As well as catching up on a bunch of stuff from last weekend, i’ll be preparing tomato frames, mulching borders and planting summer flowering bulbs, building wildlife tunnels with the help of the neighbours and possibly feeding the lawns.

Lasagna scoop "Lasset" carved from local beech wood. It has a protruding edge for slicing a piece and room for a generous rectangular slice.

Been busy all last week cutting down the borders. With the temperatures on the up, I reckoned that everybody is out now of their winter quarters in stems and seedheads.
The photograph is of the middle third of the #garden, viewed across. Behind the camera is the greenhouse, a little more space and a tall hedge.
Later in the year, this area is filled with tall, flowering #perennials, ornamental #grasses and #wildflowers - you cannot see from one side to the other. It is beautiful, undisciplined and overflowing with nature.
At this time of the year it is just flat. I am anxiously waiting to see what will come back.

Super productive day today! Not only did I get to sow my courgettes, peppers and chives, but I went a bit mad and sowed a bunch of flowers as well :) Also built a greenhouse! So the setup has had a massive upgrade!

Maintaining an old, ecologically balanced agricultural landscape is valuable as well. Humans are creators and part of many ecosystems we want to keep or restore.

The #Degrowth Database

"Welcome to the #DegrowthDatabase! We've put together something special for everyone interested in the degrowth movement: our very own Degrowth Database. It's a cosy corner of the internet where you can find a bunch of resources all about living more #sustainably and valuing #WellBeing over #EconomicGrowth.

In this #Digital library, you can find

- Details of 300 groups worldwide doing incredible work in the degrowth & post-growth space.
- 1500 academic papers and a tool that can filter by topic, language (we’ve got 18!), and publication type.
- A media section with over 70 pieces of content, including documentaries, blogs, and playlists (podcasts, lectures, talks, music), to start the conversation and spread ideas in global languages
- 550 books discussing degrowth in nearly 30 languages.
- 100+ news articles from some of the world's most well-known news publishers.
- For those looking to learn even more, there are almost 50 educational programs listed, from master's degrees to workshops.

To connect with others or continue the dialogue, we have also highlighted the communication channels of various degrowth communities.

And as it wouldn't be a community without coming together, we've included details on over 30 conferences and 4 international assemblies where folks share, debate, and dream up the future of degrowth.

This database is constantly growing and improving with contributions from people like you. Whether you’re here to explore, find ways to get involved, or add your own discoveries to the mix, we’re glad you stopped by. Dive in, see what you find, and maybe get inspired to join the conversation.

Let’s make this journey together!"

The European Court of Human Rights: “failure to adequately address environmental pollution violates the human right to life. This includes the obligation to inform individuals living in areas affected by pollution so that they be able to assess the risks to their lives and health.”

Incredible news for human and environmental wellbeing!

Hi #Fediverse

I've written another article on the topic of #DigitalSustainability!

This one should give you an answer to the question - What is "greener" architecture type - #monolith or #microservice ?

And, starting with this article, I've added an audio version of it! You can listen to it directly on the site, or using the podcast feed (also available on the site)! And, yes, it is my voice, not an AI-generated one.

Check it out!

sounds like the #thrivability alternative to #sustainability. we need to avoid focusing on compromise and resignment, which do not help supplant the previous systems.


Yes.. I was just musing a bit on the terms. There's wordplay in #Regrowth in that it also means starting anew i.e. create a wholly alternative system to that of world-destroying #Hypercapitalism

The #capitalism seed sprouted a horrendous meat-eating fungus. Need to replant a new organic system to take over and collectively kindle a seedling to regrow #humanity into healthy #sustainability-first direction. So there's a #future for mankind, and not #extinction.

Hi everyone! FINALLY, I’m happy to join Mastodon!

#RepairCafé In #EastBrunswickNJ Will Help Keep Items Out Of Landfills

by Sarah Salvadore, January 9, 2025

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — "The East Brunswick Public #Library and the East Brunswick #Sustainability Task Force are organizing their first-ever Repair Café.

"This community-based initiative will help residents keep still usable items out of landfills by promoting repairs instead of throwing them out.

"Any item in need of repairs can be brought in to be fixed on the spot. Volunteer repairers will be on hand to help.

"Residents can bring clothing/textiles (shirts, pants, sweaters, knitted blankets, etc.) and jewelry (bracelets, necklaces, earrings, etc.).

"Examples of repairs can be an afghan with moth holes, pants with a tear in the knee, broken links on necklaces and bracelets that are coming undone.

"The Repair Café will be held at the library, 2 Jean Walling Civic Center Drive, on Sunday, Jan. 26 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m."

Dutch chocolate maker Tony’s Chocolonely has long been at the forefront of pushing for more sustainability in cocoa production.

The hope now is that the EUDR, which aims to get rid of deforestation in the supply chains of imported commodities, will also help provide better technical and economic support to the farmers who supply much of the world’s cocoa.

Every time you use #ChatGPT, half a litre of #water goes to waste
#GenerativeAI already uses as much energy as a small country and is predicted to rival that of Japan within a year. Such searches use 10 times the energy of a normal web search. “We’re wasting a lot of water with these systems, and very few people realise that it’s a major problem. That’s why I think personally the No.1 priority for the sector should be #sustainability. Not the #AI race.”

I really struggle to understand the direction of today's society.

For years, we've been saying we need to reduce emissions and consumption, removing chargers from smartphone boxes "to pollute less," then the "AI" comes along and we reopen fossil fuel power plants, increasing consumption and emissions for... well, who knows why!

We make people feel guilty for not switching to an electric car (or one with high energy efficiency), yet we fly for pure leisure, just to get "a few more likes" on YouTube.

We create increasingly efficient electronic devices, focus on the consumption and emissions of data centers (local or remote), and then stop optimizing code and dependencies because "there’s autoscaling" and "resources are cheap."

To me, these are ideological short circuits.

The Aspen Proposal suggests that a key element of a sustainable future involves understanding and meeting real human needs.

In a recent paper by Jason Hickel and Dylan Sullivan, they analyze a needs-based approach to development that creates good quality lives for 8.5 billion people using only 30% of the current global throughput of energy and resources.

Have you ever wondered if we could apply the "turning off the light switch" in #kubernetes ?

Well, there is a way to do so, and I'm explaining how in the following article!
