I wouldn’t say I’m a soil scientist but I’ve published in soils journals.

Got some news for you 😁

Solarpunk magazine is a great place to start https://solarpunkmagazine.com/

There is also this group and their slack group https://climateaction.tech/

I’m curious what your current vehicle is and what the range is?

An Indian entrepreneur is using sugar, cellulose, and corn fibers to make a plastic-like carrier bag for small Indian businesses.

His company Bio Reform has already replaced 6 million plastic bags in the checkout counters of stores all over India.

Based in Hyderabad, Mohammed Azhar Mohiuddin first got the idea during the general mayhem that arose during the pandemic. Mohiuddin was looking at global environmental issues with the hope of finding one his entrepreneurial spirit had the capacity to tackle.

Here’s a Mac & Cheese adapted from https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-mac-and-cheese-recipe/

I use the cheese sauce for this meal or as a substitute for béchamel when making lasagna.

The Best Vegan Mac and Cheese

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins | Servings: Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups raw cashews

• 200 ml oat-based cooking cream

• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

• 1/2 cup nutritional yeast

• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

• 12 ounces elbow pasta

Optional breadcrumb topping

• 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 4 tablespoons vegan butter/margarine, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions: Preheat oven and prep – If planning on baking it with the breadcrumb topping, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a casserole dish (I used a 9×13 inch dish). Skip this step for stovetop mac and cheese. Soak the cashews – Soften your cashews by covering them in boiling water for 5 minutes. I do this by heating up water in my tea kettle, and then pouring the boiling water over the cashews in a large glass measuring cup. Cook pasta – Cook the pasta according to package instructions, but do not overcook. Drain and set aside. Blend cheese sauce – Drain the soaked cashews and discard the soaking water. Add the cashews, fresh water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, salt and bag of shredded cheese (if using) to a high powered blender and blend until very smooth.

Stovetop version Simply return the pasta to the pot and pour in the cheese sauce. Stir until the sauce thickens and serve immediately.

Baked version (the best!) Make the breadcrumb topping by mixing the breadcrumbs, melted vegan butter and smoked paprika in a small bowl until crumbly and moist. Add the drained pasta to the prepared casserole dish, and pour in the cheese sauce. Stir to coat the noodles. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on the pasta and bake, uncovered for 15 minutes. I also broiled it for a few minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy!

This is as good as it gets I think!

This is okay if you go UNDER (behind) our logo); however, I think the rainbow road will cause you problems

I think the gears need work. Other than that, it’s in good shape!

I’m going to outline the parts that overlay on your globe so that it’s clear where the demarcation should be.

Seems good,

BTW, I converted it to png here https://i.ibb.co/m5bd3B6/rtr-feature-1.png (valid for 10 minutes)

Thanks, for that! There are some minor adjustments from our side but all good. Could use some help fending off the rift from above and below…

Hey, someone using your template just blasted all my work. the NK was overlaid nicely and the trunk was preserved. Can you perhaps make a note somewhere in your Canvas 2024 channel?

There is a fascinating book called The Day the World Stops Shopping: How Ending Consumerism Saves the Environment and Ourselves by J.B. MacKinnon

• https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54870131-the-day-the-world-stops-shopping

I suggest you check out from your local library. Here’s the synopsis:

Consuming less is our best strategy for saving the planet—but can we do it? In this thoughtful and surprisingly optimistic book, journalist J. B. MacKinnon investigates how we may achieve a world without shopping.

We can’t stop shopping. And yet we must. This is the consumer dilemma.

The economy says we must always consume even the slightest drop in spending leads to widespread unemployment, bankruptcy, and home foreclosure.

The planet says we consume too much: in America, we burn the earth’s resources at a rate five times faster than it can regenerate. And despite efforts to “green” our consumption—by recycling, increasing energy efficiency, or using solar power—we have yet to see a decline in global carbon emissions.

Addressing this paradox head-on, acclaimed journalist J. B. MacKinnon asks, What would really happen if we simply stopped shopping? Is there a way to reduce our consumption to earth-saving levels without triggering economic collapse? At first this question took him around the world, seeking answers from America’s big-box stores to the hunter-gatherer cultures of Namibia to communities in Ecuador that consume at an exactly sustainable rate. Then the thought experiment came shockingly the coronavirus brought shopping to a halt, and MacKinnon’s ideas were tested in real time.

Drawing from experts in fields ranging from climate change to economics, MacKinnon investigates how living with less would change our planet, our society, and ourselves. Along the way, he reveals just how much we stand to An investment in our physical and emotional wellness. The pleasure of caring for our possessions. Closer relationships with our natural world and one another. Imaginative and inspiring, The Day the World Stops Shopping will embolden you to envision another way.
