#Ontario this could have be you with the already successful cap and trade program cancelled by #Ford @fordnation government in 2018. It was as working and growing funds for all sorts of projects and investments. Instead the money went into the pockets of #Ford and his #donors
Just Kevin@kevinleecaster.bsky.social · last wk.In 2025, California Climate Investments programs implemented nearly $2.6 billion through approximately 14,600 new projects, which are expected to reduce 13.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent over project lifetimes. www.caclimateinvestments.ca.gov/annual-report
Amazing how the earth + seeds make building materials including soundproof insulation with a little sun and rain. #farmland #ontario #greenbuilding #strawbale #stickbuild

Thanks to @fordnation #Ford for acknowledging how much safer he feels cycling in #Toronto with #bikelanes! #Ontario

As if there weren't enough with the forest fires... Here's another troubling glimpse into what to expect when officials or elected politicians such as @fordnation lack understanding of the earth and put money first... #ecology #biology #systemsecology #Trump #Ford #peasinapod
Jane Doe 🐸✊🏽❤️@noticingclimate.bsky.social · 2w agoIndustrial agriculture including millions of cattle for beef export + tonnes of fossil fuelled fertiliser has consequences. @ssteingraber1.bsky.social @hencarnell.bsky.social @gergyl.bsky.social @drilledmedia.bsky.social @grilledmedia.bsky.social
It's amazing how far a government will go with their ideolgy... A #livable #walkable future is possible! Shoutout to cities taking measurable action on #safestreets #Ontario with better leadership you can too. @fordnation ignoring science and safety again showing his likeness to #Trump #USA.
John R. Bennett@johnreidbennett.bsky.social · 2w agoMaking streets deadlier to own the libs. Idiotic and infuriating.
#Ontario heads up! This could happen with @fordnation choice to privatize our water #Ford does not care about the people
The Scales ⚖️@shakethescales.bsky.social · 2w agoI'm pretty sure now that privatisation wasn't the answer... 🤯 Not content just to pump shit into our waterways, they are charged with trying to falsify the safety tests to disguise the danger of us DRINKING shit... #prison www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
"cars aren't a technology problem; they're a geometry problem" Spot on.
The War on Cars@thewaroncars.bsky.social · 2w agoOn the other hand, this is a great way to illustrate the spacial inefficiency of cars. It's good reminder that cars aren't a technology problem; they're a geometry problem. Or, as @doctorow.pluralistic.net succinctly put it, "Geometry hates cars."
#Canada let's think this #datacenter thing through. More noise, more #heat destroying more #biodiversity? @mark-carney.bsky.social
Lora Kolodny@lorak.bsky.social · 2w agoIf you have time this weekend, please check out the doc (~30 min.) my team & I released this week on Musk’s push into Greater Memphis with xAI and its noisy, methane gas burning turbines, data centers, broken promises & impacts on majority Black communities next door. www.cnbc.com/2026/07/16/e...
Brilliant work from our #politicialleadership with the timely cutting of #research #scientist leading up to this #wildfire season. Seems like smart moves, yes? #Ford #Carney #Canada #oilandgas
Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 3w agoAhead of an apocalyptic wildfire season, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government made CUTS to the very teams who help prevent the worst outcomes: experts who map wildfires and issue warnings and risk assessments that communities rely on. The union representing these workers sent me the details:
Aim for #visionary leadership. The #statusquo has got to go. @mark-carney.bsky.social @fordnation #Ford #Canada #Ontario #Gaia

Mongabay@mongabay.com · 3w agoThe desert rain frog has been uplisted to vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. This unique species, which survives on coastal fog in South Africa and Namibia, faces a projected 20% population decline over the next decade due to diamond mining and energy projects. Victoria Schneider reports.
Unfortunately most of our #politicians only understand law or money. We need more individuals in government who understand deep ecology. #ecologist & #biologist The #economy rests on the #environment When environmental systems degrade, disease follows and economic collapse is more likely.
The Slim Dude 🇨🇦@slimdude.ca · 3w agoIt’s shameful that Carney has ended funding for this important research. Ticks are a large and growing threat to the health of Canadians. And all he cares about is pumping oil. Which is why ticks are a problem in Canada in the first place. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...
That's reminiscent of #Toronto Gardiner Expressway which cuts the city off from its Lake Ontario waterfront. Communities that return their waterfronts to the people tend to have an amazing sense of place. #Toronto remains regressive both on public spaces and willingness to eliminate #carculture 😞
David Newman@forwardfaith.bsky.social · 4w agoThis is what that area used to look like. It was called the Alaskan Way viaduct, and it was awful. They tore it down. 👍🏼
#greenbuilding #regenerative #local #Europe
Michael Burchert@michaelburchert.bsky.social · 4w agoA reminder that we in Europe have enough grain to feed the entire population. At the same time, so much woody straw is produced that we could do without other synthetic insulation materials and, for example, gypsum plasterboard and e.g. OSB panels made from forest wood.
Yes, #Ontario #forthepeople isn’t just a campaign slogan. #Toronto #yesyoucan
God@thegodshow.com · 4w agoMamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.
Dear #Toronto, The further you fall behind, the longer it will take you to catch up. #Livable #UrbanForm #Adaptation #GreenInfrastructure #CoolCity

Digital Brain@yourdigitalbrain.bsky.social · last mo.Peacock spiders are only 4mm long, but their courtship dance rivals any bird of paradise. Australia has over 90 species of these tiny, ultra-colorful performers.
Infinite growth on a finite planet is a physical impossibility.

Trifid Duane of Canada🍁🇨🇦@trifidofcanada.bsky.social · last mo.In 2019 Utah State began a project to introduce Beavers to Utah’s Price River. Six years later, water levels in the river are now the healthiest they’ve been in years. The fish are thriving, and Utah residents are overjoyed with the experiment’s results. www.upworthy.com/beavers-refr...
Having recently returned from my heavenly #European trip I am even more appalled at the #reckless drivers in #Toronto and unnecessary oversized #cars and #SUVs. Clearly @fordnation has further enabled #carbrain in #Ontario. #oversizeddanger
Terri@terriclarke.bsky.social · last mo.The estimate of an extra 200 to 400 pedestrian deaths every single year is just for the U.S. Canada has the same issue with car bloat. How many extra people are dying on our roads every year due to the growing popularity of oversized vehicles?
Unsurprisingly green belts worldwide are at risk because #systemsbiology is not taught in schools. Also #nature #habitat #soil and #biodiversity are deeply undervalued as is the #earth herself. Subtle systemic #misogyny.
Steve Chambers@planningtransport.co.uk · 2mo agoI have been to visit the grey/green belt. All of these adjacent houses look suspiciously like they came from the same land.
