Green Space Neighbourhood By Isaac Sserwanga

Green spaces are areas of land or vegetation within both urban and rural environments that are not developed with buildings and include features like grass, trees, plants, and water. These spaces range from small parks and community gardens to forests that harbour wildlife while offering an opportunity for recreation and other benefits.  How far are you from or close to a green space? Is it accessible, safe, or welcoming? Urban areas are far from forests and without a luxury of space between builds to create green spaces for recreation or a counter for the urban heat island effect . This exposes them to impacts of climate change like high temperatures among others.  The set-up of every city needs a balance between green spaces and other relevant infrastructure. These areas are core to our aspirations and inspiration for sustainable pathways. Like most innovations, nature ‘s inspiration is exhibited by biomimicry or just immersing oneself to its surroundings and create. One cou...

Pew-sitters Guide to Sustainable Investing

Investing is one of those topics which may often feel like one is trying to navigate the St George’s Maze - you have various options in terms of direction, some lead to dead ends, others lead you around in circles, and some help you to reach your goal in the center of the maze.

Reboot Food

 "Reboot Food" is the name of a campaign by Guardian columnist George Monbiot to persuade people to consider "precision fermentation" as a way of using microbes to create "specific proteins and fats" to replace "meat, fish, milk, and eggs". The process needs "1700 times less land than the most efficient agricultural means of producing protein: soy grown in the US."  If used at scale this could enable the "rewilding the vast tracts occupied by livestock..." Monbiot warns about the risk the the technology could be "captured by a few corporations". The risk may be real once precision fermentation gains acceptance, but food is a cultural habit that changes only very slowly, perhaps too slowly to rescue God's creation via this method. Nonetheless it is time for people who care about the planet to consider all options. All quotes come from:  https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/24/gre isen-technology-prec...
