Tropical leaf macro photography. I find the close-up so beautiful. Soothing abstraction by nature. Looks as beautiful on home decor (shower curtain, coffee mug & so much more) as it does as wall art.
The garden is taking shape! I am so ready for Spring! I am not a fan of the thick pollen in the air as it makes breathing difficult and sticks to my contacts, but it means the trees are healthy. :)
In honor of Earth Day, Vox launched a special Home Planet package. Here's the entire collection, which includes fascinating stories on giving up meat, fostering pigeons and the "Squirrel Census."
Over the weekend #KeirStarmer abandoned plans to abolish the House of Lords, and now will merely seek some 'reforms' in the first Parliament of a Labour administration.
I assume that the increasingly narrow, substance-free #election manifesto is part of the remnants of any #green policy.
Its thinness is going to saving them a fortune in printing & paper!
„Bei der Hauptkläranlage #Wien in Simmering ist die erste Ausbaustufe einer riesigen #Wärmepumpe in Betrieb genommen worden. Aus dem Abwasser der Kläranlage wird damit #Fernwärme erzeugt.
…
Die jährliche #CO2-Einsparung wurde mit bis zu 300.000 Tonnen in der finalen Stufe beziffert.“
Nature's abstract art. Tropical leaf macro #2, new in my nature collection. Believe it or not, this image is not color corrected. What you see is exactly what came out of the camera. I think the color is fantastic!
Its getting to the point where we can safely say that #RishiSuank hasn't seen a #green policy that he doesn't want to disrupt.... now he wants to limit the installation of #solarpanel arrays on open land.
There may be #climatecrisis, crying out for #renewableenergy but a few MPs seem to have convinced Sunak that theses arrays are unwelcome...
All the best wishes for a healthy, peaceful and prosperous New Year for everyone!
A big THANK YOU for all your support with follows, likes, boosts and buying prints or originals of my paintings. I really appreciate it!
Alberta’s decision to “pause” #green energy development has disappointed Indigenous communities and businesses.
A regulator review will prohibit approvals of new wind, solar, thermal and hydroelectric applications until Feb. 29, 2024, and is expected to impact 118 projects, six undertaken by Chiniki First Nation, Paul Band, Ermineskin Cree Nation, Piikani Nation and Sawridge First Nation.
A small but significant global movement is seeking to make #publictransport free to use as a central plank to #green urbanism.
as the Guardian point out:
'Flourishing & accessible public transport systems are an essential feature of sustainable 21st-century living. They are a means of social inclusion & wellbeing, helping to generate a sense of place and collective belonging'!
Being free from fares can be a big part of this... but in the UK we're wedded to an altogether different model!
