The best kind of renewable energy

I have gone down another rabbit hole this evening!

Much of the plastic pollution in the world’s oceans flows into them from rivers. But these innovations capture plastic in inland waterways and recycle it.

Now this is how we make change.

This is the kind of idea I would like to explore.

Replacing lithium batteries with h**p would make electric cars (and all our other gadgets) WAY more sustainable! Is there anything h**p can’t do? A year after h**p became legal to grow in the United States, we’ve seen its power to make better clothing, better buildings and better medicine. Now, ...

Birds Hill Provincial Park has groomed ski trails! 🎿 Now that grooming has started, please remember to respect all trail users and only use trails designated for your activity.

Aspen by the riding stable where there is asphalt is in poor condition, however the other trails are in fair condition.

Other parks continue to prepare winter trails.

I want to age like sea glass. Smoothed by tides, not broken.
I want the currents of life to toss me around, shake me up and leave me feeling washed clean.
I want my hard edges to soften as the years pass—made not weak but supple.
I want to ride the waves, go with the flow, feel the impact of the surging tides rolling in and out.

When I am thrown against the shore and caught between the rocks and a hard place, I want to rest there until I can find the strength to do what is next. Not stuck—just waiting, pondering, feeling what it feels like to pause. And when I am ready, I will catch a wave and let it carry me along to the next place that I am supposed to be.

I want to be picked up on occasion by an unsuspected soul and carried along , just for the connection, just for the sake of appreciation and wonder. And with each encounter, new possibilities of collaboration are presented, and new ideas are born.

I want to age like sea glass so that when people see the old woman I’ll become, they’ll embrace all that I am. They’ll marvel at my exquisite nature, hold me gently in their hands and be awed by my well-earned patina.
Neither flashy nor dull, just a perfect lustre. And they’ll wonder, if just for a second, what it is exactly I am made of and how I got to this very here and now. And we’ll both feel lucky to be in that perfectly right place at that profoundly right time.

I want to age like sea glass. I want to enjoy the journey and let my preciousness be, not in spite of the impacts of life, but because of them ..
