SBLA’s @JoeLinton on Musk’s freeway-tunnel scheme: highway builders say ‘If we build another freeway, congestion is going to get better.’ What we’ve seen is the opposite, the more capacity you have, the more congestion you get. https://t.co/0NG7qpSvHB

Here’s my statement of realistic optimism:
If everyone realized the true urgency of the climate emergency and acted accordingly, we’d “solve” it in a matter of years (dodge worst impacts). No biggie.
So all we have to do is choose not to fail. There ARE solutions.

Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond (Vol. 2): Water-Harvesting Earthworks. Earthworks are one of the easiest, least expensive, and most effective ways of passively harvesting and conserving multiple sources of water in the soil. Associated vegetation then pumps the harvested water back out in the form of beauty, food, shelter, wildlife habitat, and passive heating and cooling strategies, while controlling erosion, increasing soil fertility, reducing downstream flooding, and improving water and air quality.
Yay! I really missed your Saturday Tweet collection the last couple of weeks. It’s one of the things I look forward to for leisurely Saturday mornings, and it occurred to me that I should leave a comment saying so. Thank you!
Thank you Crowgirl! I really appreciate the feedback as I’m never sure if people like this feature. Sorry about missing a week–had a two day meeting.
