Sustainability
"[M]eeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
A PieFed commuity dedicated to promoting sustainability and sustainable development.
For discussion of environmental, climate, clean energy, social, political, and individual action. A place for news, education, questions, and discussions.
Rules:
- Don't be a dick.
- If it fits an UN Sustainable Development Goal, it's probably welcome.
- Links to articles should leverage the original article title. Minor edits in [square brackets] for clarity/to reduce clickbait are probably fine.
- We all know corporations & governments are the main problem, and collective action + legislation is the best path forward. That said, someone needs to show support for a more sustainable market - to that end, discussion of individual action is encouraged, and "whatabout big oil" comments in posts about individual action may be removed with prejudice. You're not wrong, but see rule 1.
Not really a rule per se, more of a request: if the article has "Trump" or "Musk" in the title, consider posting it in a USA/Political community to help keep this space focused on sustainability over clickbait political headlines. Political posts are allowed, but discussion should prioritize policies over personalities.

My only gripe with it, at least when hearing Ernst Götsch and his followers, is that they are okay with using invasive species, which at least in my view, it is not the best way forward, specially when you are working in an area with great biodiversity. There ought to be a native plant, or at least not an invasive one, that could do that role.
Besides that, I'm all in on it
Use the best plant for the job. Usually that is a native plant, but not always, especially when growing food. "Some day, people will forget that durians came from Asia."
