Today I learned from @0xabad1dea that a lot of large solar farm owners use sheep herds to maintain their grass and they're called solarpunk grazers and life seems a little better. 🤘

Orkney's amazing Italian Chapel, built in 1943-1944 by Italian prisoners of war on the island of Lamb Holm. They had been brought to Orkney to work on the construction of the Churchill Barriers. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/eastmainland/italianchapel/index.html

With all of the horrible things happening in the world, it’s nice to find the wins. Especially in the area of our environment. A group called Coral Guardian is restoring coral reefs, and it’s quite magnificent.
These photos represent 7 years of work on the Indonesia’s Hatamin Island. In this they have increased the fish population by 5x with 53k corals restored.
More wins like this, please.

I've just had a huge bowl of veggie chilli, and I may have overdone the chilli, so if anyone wants me, I'll be up here floating on my endorphin cloud. #Chilli
