Um. It's called a tree. . I just read that "Tesla chief and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on Thursday took to Twitter to promise a $100 million prize for development of the best technology to capture carbon dioxide emissions." . Here's a photo my son took of me getting on my high horse while down in the soil planting our self-funded 224th tree on this very small farm while patiently telling Elon that this technology is millions of years old and proven: it's call...ed a tree. Trees also willingly provide humanity with: . food medicine shelter heat income protection from the elements spiritual connection and belonging building materials for musical instruments . Not to mention habitat, food and medicine for our more than human relations: the bees, birds, animals, and fungi with whom we share this planet. . Do we really think "carbon capture technology" can multitask like this? . How about he spend 100 million on planting trees? . #carboncapture #plantatreetoday #trees #foodforest #forestfruits #naturewisdom #100milliontrees #futurebeefood #futureblossom #habitatforbirds See more

Happy Solstice friends and family. Today we woke up with the sun, watched it spill over the mountains and sea. Later we hiked to a nearby beach and saw 3 eagles, a blue heron, a red winged black bird, many wild mallards and a curious seal. All out after the storm, soaking and welcoming the sun, like us

This Indigenous-led collaborative post we're supporting invites proponents of western ecological agriculture to go deeperto not ‘take’ certain land practices from Indigenous cultures without their context, but to encompass deeper Indigenous worldviews... inspiring a consciousness shift that will support us to go from a dominant culture of supremacy and domination to one founded on reciprocity, respect, and interrelations with all beingsincluding, of course, among all humans.... . .
