Being Anti-Fascist is important but we need to also be aware about Fascism's root causes.

I’m pleased to share that I’ve obtained my Pollinator Steward Certification from Pollinator Partnership. It shows that I have a science and life-cycle based understanding of #pollinator needs, and understand #habitat creation according to those principles. Get in touch: let's make more meadows!

Lovely #raingarden walking tour yesterday! Any excuse to use my organizer yodel is a good one 🎶 #greeninfrastructure #seeingisbelieving #stormwater #biodiversity #urbanecology

Human-made global warming ‘caused two in three heat deaths in Europe this summer’. Researchers from Imperial College London say 16,500 deaths caused by hot weather brought on by greenhouse gases www.theguardian.com/environment/...

On Sept. 16, GRIN will host a rain garden walking tour in East Vancouver. Please share with your networks! #greeninfrastructure #raingardens #climateresilience #biodiversity #stormwater

Completed in 2019, "Aglaya" is a 70m high garden condo tower in the Suurstoffi area of Rotkreuz. Trees are planted in pre-fabricated, permanent troughs. Detailed greening concepts were developed for each of the 85 homes. www.baunetzwissen.de/gerueste-und... #urbanforest #urbantrees #urbanecology

MFO Park is a "symbiosis of industry and nature. The scaffolding maintains the dimensions of the original building, creating a link with the area’s industrial past." #greenfacades #livingwalls #urbanecology #climateresilience #publicpark

Inside perspective at MFO Park, in Zurich-Oerlikon. The concept of "volume" was a central element of the park's design, in honouring the history of the space and its new public function. Very 3-dimensional! #greenfacade #livingwalls #urbanecology #coolcities #climbers #plants #waterharvest

Hello, #greenfacade! The site of the former Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon (MFO) in Zürich is covered by a double-walled latticework steel construction that is open on three sides, and covered by hundreds of climbing plants. Plants are irrigated by water captured on site. #livingwalls #urbanecology

My favourite #greenroof in flower, what a treat! Zurich's Lake Water Filtration Plant (built 1914) is covered by 9-acres of wet meadow, a now-extinct ecosystem in the region. The roof supports 175 spp of plants, incl 9 orchids and the rare Anacamptis morio. #orchid #biodiversity #urbanecology

Unlike most places, swimming in Switzerland is dreamy because of tertiary water treatment. #waterquality #biodiversity #stormwater #sewage #treatment #waterislife

As I know this place well this is a great article and so true - also as I involved in ‘buildings’ what I think is strategic abt this story is the houses are sold - come live in #nature. So don’t chase the coin chase the future.

Just a heads up that this summer, folks with climate expertise should be pitching and publishing op-eds for the 30th anniversary of the Chicago heat wave, 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and 5th anniversary of the August Complex fire in California
