Vegetarianism, but not veganism - there's a LOT of cows in India - about a third of the world's bovine population, give or take. Milk products are obviously a big part of the diet there, and it invites the question 'what are

You're describing an integrated food system that, for permaculture practitioners, is considered a mostly solved problem. There's probably lots of examples of people who don't self-label as permaculturists -- Joel Salatin&#x27

Well, using land to produce feed to ship to CAFOs where animals experience almost nothing but suffering for their short lives is clearly reprehensible. But George Monbiot quite famously adjusted his position[0] in response to - and since th

This feels like a disingenuous take on TFA's in-passing reference. Spotify spending USD$100-$200 million on, say, that particular angertainment professional got a lot of people riled up because a) he's actively, demonstrably harmf

Almost all, or the vast majority. We already have plenty of words and phrases that mean 'large' or 'most', so it's a shame this phrase is losing its specific meaning and joining with myriad interchangeable synonyms

Urban sounds are a big problem for me as well, but you may want to try a white noise generator (phone app or even a small low-power fan) to hide some of those noises. The fan for me doubles as a way of getting air circulation. I keep window

TFA asserted cause was a specific pathogen that benefited from a temperature rise, and correlated with a similar incident wiping out 200k antelopes in 2015. You said you thought we should 'look into fertilisers' as the root cause.

> Also, honey caremelises at a much lower temperature (as low as 70C) compared to sucrose and glucose (~160C) and fructose (~110C). Honey is about 70% fructose + glucose. It's about 16-19% water. So I'm not sure why it would ca
