My backyard rewilding, soil remediation & lawn replacement longterm project is going well. The mixed #clover seeds I scattered after removing useless lawn grass looks like this now.

Reminder: a person in the RICHEST 0.1 percent causes more carbon pollution in one DAY than someone in the BOTTOM 50 percent does in a whole YEAR.

The high carbon lifestyles of the super rich are burning through the world’s remaining carbon budget and costing us our future.

How does this help build wind? Are readers driven to demand the building of solar on every roof? Or cover canals with cells, or put wind generation under transmission lines?

Emerging democracies have to build solar, former socialist states have to build wind, declining democracies must, monarchies have to, parliamentary systems have to end carbon fuels.

Please promote action. Earth saving action. Instead.

This photo was taken along a trail in a wooded area during the day. A staircase made of wood is in the centre of the frame, rising up into the background. A handrail with two sections is present on the left hand side of the stairs. The trail leads up to the beginning of the steps and trees line both sides of the staircase. Although mid-October, the leaves on the trees in this area are still mostly green. Some brown fallen leaves can be seen on the trail itself.

I realized the energy tax credit is ending December 31, 2025 because of the Orange Turd's Big Beautiful Bill so I called 3 roofing companies today.

1 doesn't answer (bad point to them), the 2 others are coming tomorrow to prepare a quote.

So yeah, I hope my 25 year-old shingle roof will turn metal before December.🤘

#MothOfTheDay is a stunner.

You may recognise it from my profile pic, but one came to visit the #moth box last night. The gloriously beautiful #green and black mosaic of:

MERVEILLE DU JOUR
Griposia aprilina

Larvae feed on oak.

One of my absolute favourite moths of the year.

A 2.5cm arrowhead shaped moth on a finger. It is a striking mosaic of sage green and black. It has two wiry antennae pointing left and right. It's wings are slightly blurred in the bottom corners as it is vibrating to warm up in preparation for takeoff.

Overhead shot of a 2.5cm moth on terracotta. It is arrowhead shaped and chunky. It is strikingly marked in bright sage green and black mosaic all over. It has black and white horizontal striped legs.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek told state agencies to take “any and all steps necessary” to expedite solar and wind permits before federal green energy tax credits expire next year. The order prioritizes high-priority projects to begin by July 2026.

UBC launches world’s first mushroom-powered waterless toilet

#UBC #researchers are launching the world’s first #mushroom-powered #waterless #toilet, the #MycoToilet, at the UBC #Botanical #Garden on September 26.

The prototype turns human waste into nutrient-rich #compost using #mycelia—the root networks of mushrooms—and features a modern, #sustainable design that can be dropped into parks, remote communities and areas without #plumbing.

A green but not flashy hummingbird with a white belly and one of its leg puff showing is perched on a bare branch. This bird, the Greenish Puffleg, is sticking a skinny tongue out of the skinny beak. The background is the dappled green of a sunny day outdoors. Photo by Peachfront. Nov 2024. Northwest Peru.

Precious Feathers

This beautiful male white-tipped quetzal was nesting with its mate behind one of the El Dorado Nature Reserve's huts in Colombia. We also met them a few times during hikes in the forest. They are like large green forest spirits and have a beautiful metallic plumage.

The translations of "quetzal" from Nahuatl, the Aztec language, to English vary a bit. Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec deity, is literally translated to something like "serpent of precious feathers" with "coatl" translating to serpent. The full name of the related resplendent quetzal seems to be Quetzaltototl with "tototl" translating to bird. My completely amateur translatation of "quetzal" with no knowledge of the language is therefore "precious feathers" which I think is an apt name for these bird species.

Sources of translation: https://nahuatl.wired-humanities.org/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatl#Etymology

To be able to photograph in these dark forest conditions, I had to learn to go far below my comfort shutter speed of usually 1/500 s with the 600 mm (900 mm effective) telephoto lens. With some (forced) practice I was able to capture images like this one at 1/100 s handheld. My gimbal tripod was not an option, as it slowed me down too much during hikes, and the ability to react quickly was more important to me than deleting fewer blurry photos after each day.

A large metallic green bird with a yellow beak is perching on a branch overgrown with moss and lichen in a dense forest. The bird's feathers display gradients of different green hues. The longer wing feathers are black. Its long tail feathers are pointing straight down. The bird is seen from the side, so the characteristic red breast and white-tipped tail feathers are barely visible.
