Okay, I have to do a thread on this pretty amazing article because it is just seriously chockers with eye-opening stats about 'direct air capture' - ie, sucking up air and trying to remove carbon dioxide from it news.mit.edu/2024/reality...

@greenprofgreen.bsky.social thanks for your smart and helpful analysis on CBC this morn.

I love this case study. It really captures not just the material principles of circularity but also the social and cultural ones. A beautiful example of how we can fundamentally shift from zero-sum, extractive systems to regenerative relationships that create common value.

Word of the Day is a true favourite, as some of you will know. Apricity (17th century) is the warmth of the sun on a winter’s day.

First post feels like walking into a party full of strangers and not knowing what kind of party it is. Do I lead with “and what do you do for work?” or show you my boys’ baby pics while lamenting “they are both taller than me now.” Or ask “how you enjoying the end of civilization?” Weird clown pic?
