#Climate threat not often discussed:
“Pound for pound, gallon for gallon, hour-for-hour, the two-stroke gas powered engines in leaf blowers and similar equipment are vastly the dirtiest and most polluting kind of machinery still in legal use.

“According to the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the two-stroke leaf blowers and similar equipment in the state produce more ozone pollution than all of California’s tens of millions of cars, combined.”

I'm participating in an urban garden initiative, we met a unique garden entrepreneur in the neighborhood today! she grows many kinds of plants in the garden of her apartment. we planted the seeds we brought in viols there and everyone took the parts they wanted to their homes. After seeds germinate, we want to plant them in the actual garden. Our next most important goal is to find a field for ecological gardening in the city... any advise about city gardening would be great...

I would like to share a very interesting research article about #misinformation. Of course, such research and discussions need to be elaborated and diversified for different societies/cultures. Finding the right information in the media is really hard work, so I don't think we should take this #fakenews thing superficially. According to the researchers, #factcheck isn't enough to fix the toxic social environment plagued by misinformation and disinformation...
