Would so like to see more of this in US cities.

This is more than true of me. I tend to walk miles more each day when I'm in a walkable city than I do when I'm in a car-centric city. I will walk places I don't even need to go just because I can.

Most of the world has been experiencing days like this at some point or other, more and more frequently. This is excellent advice.

We are currently seeking case studies and evidence-based solutions for flooding, including ecological, flood-resistant green building, recovery from toxic exposure and mold, soil recovery, and prevention/mitigation. This piece explains more about our project. open.substack.com/pub/permalif...

I've been working on compiling manuals for regenerative disaster management for a few months now, with a couple of organizations. We're having a free online summit Aug 18-23 on this important topic. If you're interested in this topic, hope to see you there! pina.in/summit_disas...

Feeling it in West Central Florida currently. We've had less rain for a year now too, not good for the orchard on my farm.

There are so many excellent reasons to focus on microgrids to provide our energy needs. This is just one of a long list of ways microgrids create more resilience.

We need to start building for the actual weather. Bonus, far less toxic and has fire and earthquake resistance, looks and feels great.

The researchers concluded that “parents using active transport modes (walking or biking) consistently report healthier body mass index values, higher life satisfaction, greater travel satisfaction, and better academic performance in their children.” ssti.us/2025/06/30/f...

This series is packed with info that is relevant to anybody affected by weather. We've been silo'ed to the point where it's hard to evaluate what's important but understanding weather and other planetary indicators has never been more important. This helps!

My outdoor recreation is mostly free - taking care of a few acres of land; a food forest, gardens, wild areas, and documenting native flora and fauna on INaturalist and elsewhere. So much fun! Also love hiking/kayaking. Glad to see this trend, hopefully will lead to more stewardship!

Simple living is massively therapeutic. Getting rid of crap feels wonderful. Living for relationships, appreciating the bounty of nature, feeds our souls. As opposed to consuming endless streams of literally toxic crap - microplastics are making us stupid, as a race. bit.ly/4kNPSHX

There are so many examples of superior building technology used in other cultures over centuries, when looked at from a sustainable/regenerative point of view.

I honestly don’t see why air filters in every single classroom that doesn’t have effective air filtration in the architecture isn’t a no-brainer at this point.

Got too busy to post on Earth Day, but here's my contribution - I've been inextricably drawn into the fascinating world of beautiful insect pollinators and am sharing some of my garden tips for attracting these useful guys in this month's newsletter: permalife.substack.com/p/the-magic-...

It can be simple to create habitat for endangered native pollinators in your yard. We've done this on our farm and have had an explosion of native species showing up as a result. It's beautiful and fascinating! Step 1, create soft landings:

We use a similar technique on our 70 feet of sand in Florida. We add logs and grass cuttings from vetiver and native grasses for additional moisture retention and soil building. A subtle technique that makes big changes!

How do you protect your plants from freeze damage? youtu.be/NqmQOHtLui4?...

This study found that air quality is an important predictor of honey bee mortality. The risk of honey bee mortality increased with poor air quality but was substantially reduced in regions with greater vegetation availability. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

A lot of people are getting interested in what some government agencies actually do. Here are some resources that one can rapidly absorb and understand about NSF.

Fire adapted ecologies are unique and wonderful ecosystems, some with great diversity. Our farm is located in such an ecology, interesting to work with!

The Kwiakah have already banned logging in 20K acres within the Great Bear Rainforest. The goal is to foster coastal economies by restoring ecosystem services.

Just attended a Networks of Networks workshop, much food for thought re how we will integrate this tech into our regenerative disaster management resource and library project.

The LA fires were a wake-up call—but we don’t have to accept disaster as inevitable. We can build fire-resilient homes & communities. 🌱🔥 Learn how regenerative design can prevent future devastation. Read more: open.substack.com/pub/permalif...

Forests The sight of the forest is enough to cause blood pressure to drop, the pulse to slow down and the concentration of the stress hormone cortisol to decrease, the physicians J. Lee and Bum-Yin Park have measured in test subjects in several field studies in Japanese forests.

My experience in Costa Rica as well. A collaboration of many people and groups coming together to find ways to protect the environment while caring for people at the same time. Stunningly beautiful country.

We bought a heat pump last year, utility usage is siginicantly lower and we really like that we can control temperature in each room separately. We spend a lot of time in 1 or 2 rooms of the house - we can reduce energy use in other rooms we're not using. It feels great too, not so drying.

I started a Regenerative Design/Permaculture pack, so I can more easily find others working in this realm. If you're doing work in this realm of permaculture, regenerative design, whole systems design, system thinking, etc, please let me know!

This can be done even by busy people by growing perennial edible forest gardens. They're delicious, beautiful, highly nutritious, and support wildlife as well as humans.

We are taking steps regularly to get plastics out of our lives as much as possible. It is challenging! Packaging of food is a huge source of it. Growing our own, bulk purchases which we store in saved glass jars, our own bamboo utensils, metal bowls/cups in the car, asking suppliers to not use it.

This is a really rewarding activity. We're adding 1/4 acre of native plants including pollinators, food and habitat for wildlife on our farm this year because we love the benefits we've gotten from native habitat - lots of pest predators, a balanced system, soil building, etc.

congestion pricing and pedestrian zones are how you revitalize downtown and business districts. any mayors paying attention?

This is an excellent resource. Anybody know if it was mirrored anywhere?
