    Today I learned a little more about air travel.  A few tips from travel & leisure and also some nuggets about a handful of airline sustainability policies on the mindfulmermaid blog.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transport
    A round-trip flight from New York City to Los Angeles emits just over 1 ton of CO2. Imagine a giant balloon with a diameter of 10 yards. If this balloon were filled with CO2, it would weigh about 1 ton. This flight would fill just about one of these balloons. What can you do to reduce the number of flights you take per year?

    My next trip to the electronics recycler is going to feel something like the image below. I'm just excited about donating/recycling my older tech that I have already repurposed a few times over the years. Crossing my fingers that over 1/2 of what I'm donating will still have another life before it is officially recycled properly!

    Had you heard of the term silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?

    Clinton Fox 4/12/2018 1:53 PM
    I'm new to Silvopasture and these guys look like they really enjoy hanging in the woods! :)  I think the biggest advantage is quality of life for the animals and keeping the land healthy and productive by having the livestock in the mix.

    Carbon aside, the advantages of silvopasture are considerable, with financial benefits for farmers and ranchers. Livestock, trees, and any additional forestry products, such as nuts, fruit, and mushrooms, generate income on different time horizons. The health and productivity of both animals and the land improve. Because silvopasture systems are diversely productive and more resilient, farmers are better insulated from risk.
