Like climate change seems really easy to solve if we just plant a bunch of jojoba bushes in the Mojave desert.

Also it’s the easiest thing to get the billionaires on board. Argue we are learning how to terraform Mars and suddenly Bezos and Musks’s meats would be spinning.

    This is from a pretty interesting youtube series about various water restoration projects in India covered by a US permaculture dude. I'm pretty dumb about this stuff but what he describes in this video seems somewhat miraculous, developing a forest and agriculture on what was essentially exposed bedrock.

      I really want to start a thread on permaculture in one of the quieter comms. There's so many good ideas there, but the whole scene just reeks of white settler brainworms and Liberal half-measures. I'd love to talk it out in a more socialist and third-worldist context.

      Any ideas what comm would fit?
