Touchy da fishy

The last few Christmases, I've idly daydreamed about setting up a siphon to make it easier to water the tree. This year I finally did it, and I love it.
I have a small bucket tucked under a branch between the tree and the wall with a flexible piece of clear tubing running into the tree stand. Now instead of awkwardly laying down and filling the stand, I can just pour water into the bucket, up to the fill line I drew with a sharpie.

Expanding LNG will increase prices and pollution

Has industry lived up to its LNG promises? A David Suzuki Foundation report concludes that it hasn’t & isn’t likely to.

The new Dutch coalition agreement talks a lot about nitrogen. By delaying measures for many years, we've now run into severe limitations on nitrogen deposition in nature areas. And the outgoing right-far-right coalition only made matters worse.
But: I'm not so sure we're taking the next big environmental problem seriously. The EU Water Framework Directive has 2027 goals for water quality, and - guess what - the Netherlands is not on track to meet those.

When the Trump administration began freezing federal funding for climate and ecosystem research, one of the programs hit hard was ours: the U.S. Geological Survey’s Climate Adaptation Science Centers.

Random thought: humans view trees as vulnerable because they can't move out of the way of danger. But consider:
1. A single tree can produce tens of thousands of offspring.
2. Many of those seeds can remain dormant and viable for millennia.
3. Some living trees survive fit millennia themselves.
4. Trees vastly outnumber humans, maybe up to 100:1.
5. Many seeds die, but those that don't have found a niche that supplies them everything they need without having to move.
In contrast, humans:
1. Only produce a few dozen offspring at most. Barely replace their own population.
2. Cannot remain dormant once birthed.
3. Only survive for a century tops. Can only reproduce for maybe half that time.
4. So few of us. Individual humans live hundreds of feet apart, or at least dozens even in the densest cities.
5. Need to constantly burn energy moving around for their next meal. Could starve and die at any time in just a few days if they can't find water.
At a species level, the survival of humans begins to look much more perilous than the survival of many tree species.
Also I forgot to add:
6. Humans kill *each other* all the time. What the fuck humans?!? We have made ourselves our own biggest threat.
Trees do compete locally for water and sunlight and thus do kill each other, but only via circumstance, not intentionally.
