Every year, as wildfires choke us with smoke and the warnings of drought get louder, our government sides with fossil fuel billionaires over people and the planet. It’s not just apathy that brought us here, it’s corruption. (1/3)

New from Reckoning 9, "Biologists say it will take at least a generation for the river to recover (Klamath River hymn)" by Leah Bobet, a beautiful piece of rhyming/rhythming/flowing verse about the anticipatory joy of resurgent life in a river recently unleashed reckoning.press/biologists-s...

Important new study shows that the best way to power data centers is with solar microgrids!
Also, 1.5 million Germans have hung solar panels off their balconies this year, and now Spaniards are copying them!
Also, kids in Montana win huge climate fight!

Faced with constraints on how quickly they can connect to the grid, data centers are looking at direct gas deliveries and on-site generation to meet their power needs. Our inability to grow the grid and connect clean energy is having some pretty significant consequences: heated.world/p/ai-is-guzz...

We call it Earth only because we're land dwellers. This image shows how massive the Pacific Ocean is, covering 1/3 of the Earth's surface.
This cloudless image of the Earth centered on the Pacific was produced by NOAA satellites, which took photos over eleven ten-day periods and merged them.

Hello!

We're a small BC group of mappers, environmentalists, designers and activists who work behind the scenes with other groups on issues and who sometimes visualize BC issues to make them more graspable.

We have a great mapping project coming up - stay tuned!

Nice to be here with you all.
