I have great respect for Koleje Wielkopolskie train operator, for when they resupply the toilets on toilet paper, they leave the previous rolls inside, so more ecologically inclined people can use them up before using the new ones.

Human disturbances drive significant soil carbon loss in hyper-arid deserts, study reveals
A recent study led by Prof. Zeng Fanjiang from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed concerning trends in soil organic carbon (SOC) loss due to prolonged human disturbance in hyper-arid desert ecosystems.

Modeling Income Distribution with the Gause-Witt Population Ecology System
This paper presents an empirical application of the Gause-Witt model of population ecology and ecosystems to the income distribution competitive dynamics of social classes in economic systems. The Gause-Witt mathematical system of coupled nonlinear first-order ordinary differential equations employed to model population of species sharing the same ecological niche and competing for the same resources was applied to the income data of Brazil. Previous studies using Brazilian income data from 198…

This is another horrifying statistic to shelve alongside the composition of global mammalian biomass:
• humans 34%
• livestock and pets 62%
• wild animals 4%

Attached: 1 image …Here are some highlights (lowlights): “If you drop all that old life into the container that we call Earth, and burn them, it turns out that what we burn in *1 year* weighs 100x more than everything alive today. Everything. All the whales, elephants, forests, insects, grass, crops, birds, fish, people, dogs and cats. Add up all the carbon in everything alive now, and still, in one year we burn a hundred times more.” #climateDiary

Scientists use fossils to assess the health of Florida's largest remaining seagrass bed
The seagrass is greener along Florida's Nature Coast … figuratively, that is. A new study published in the journal Marine Ecology Progress Series shows that seagrass ecosystems along the northern half of Florida's Gulf Coast have remained relatively healthy and undisturbed for the last several thousand years.

One of my dreams by now was to build an ecology on the moon and make it a comfortable place to live. "Homestuck" seemed to pale into insignificance alongside such thoughts.

I wonder how many people understand that good organic farming practices do not contribute to this problem?

We have a contender for leaf blowers in the category of stupid, harmful and pointless appliances. Using oil-powered string trimmer to cut the single blades of grass from between paving stones on a train platform. Noise, stench and almost zero efficiency.

When using an old damaged shoulder bag stops being a matter of ecology, and starts being a matter of a "how much more will it manage" challenge.
