Thank you, I'll do that later on and let you know.
I wanted to put up a new post but cannot. The system won't let me. I don't understand why unless I am being blocked.
We must do both and more. Vote Green (I do) even though they haven't been able to get the results we needed to the new national environment laws. 😪
There is Realpolitik and there is what happens on the ground so voting for environmentally responsible parties or individuals is not enough and the flow-on results are slow and sometimes don't happen at all. We need to be politically engaged but also have practical skills we can apply to our besieged wildlife.
This info was put together by Taronga after the devastating Black Summer fires in which surviving wildlife were left with nothing to continue living. I really think to learn what to do to help wildlife in need is as important as knowing first aid to help people survive. I don't think this is weird.
I should have added: "Don't despair. Repair!"
I had a look at solarpunk. It's not communistic at all. In fact, the moderator rejects communism. I like its idealism. It has the feeling of youth. It's a bit too art college for me but hey I'm of a different generation and I'm more plainspoken. Thank you for letting me now about it. I feel like I'm going on a magical mystery tour discovering this alternative social media.
Thank you for the extended response. Bit by bit I'll learn about this new space (to me).
I love King Parrots! They are such cheerful (and well-mannered) little guys.
I don't have a smartphone so on my laptop it's not a mess at all.
I put up the food for wildlife post up first because right now we are in the midst of major events (fires, floods, droughts, heatwaves) all happening at the same time.
When it comes to wildlife, we can ALL take action (or not - this is really important too) to protect and increase (particularly our smallest pollinators and soil organisms without which we can not have a healthy world).
I'm new to these alternative social media sites and had never heard of the solarpunk one. Would you have a link?
I also should have said thank you for putting up a page for the environment. There's a lot we can do.
BTW, are capsicums in your neck of the woods peppery? I've never found a peppery one, ever. Good for everyone.
Thank you. I intend to put up posts on actions we can take to help counter the challenges faced by our wildlife (plant and animal) as a result of what we're doing to the planet. Your trigger warning clarified it for me. I will include posts in the future on not only what we can do in our own patch but also on more 'political' actions we can take such as the signing of petitions if it's ok with the moderators. I've even come up with a motto 😆. Don't despair, REPAIR! 🦘
I saved a short video from the BoM but it doesn't show here. This has happened in previous posts but I forgot to ask then.
