I am back!
Life has been a little hectic these days and that's why I have decided to not post anything last week. It may be the case that I won't get to post weekly all the times.. Especially now Not just because of the extra activities I have taken on board But also, and maybe more, because there are many times when things feel like they are going more in the wrong than in the right direction. We are in political turmoil, and the country (Italy) has voted for a government that want to bring back antiquated ideologies that threaten freedom, and completely disregards issues such as climate change and environmental and social justice. Not that in other parts of the world people are making better judgements in voting and political landscapes are clear (see the UK...). And we can't really forget about the war with all of its implications. How can we think that our little actions can have an impact? The next COP is coming up in november, and needles to say, it feels like a very useless meeting, since no countries have really adjusted their numbers and budgets.. is it going to be yet another pointless meeting? I am not even suffering from climate anxiety anymore, I think I am just becoming more and more cynic.. We can't think that we can get by by planting some trees. Plus, There is more and more evidence that these compensation measures are not as compensatory as some want us to believe.. But, instead of only being cynic and looking only at the things that are wrong (and there are a lot!) let's look at some positive news for the month. You can find them all here , from rare flower blooming in Chile national park, to beavers becoming protected species, and the savings in co2 emissions from the use of renewables.. Go read (and scroll down to the past months if you need some more uplifting..)

Another storm, another set of dramatic pictures and then an interesting title on the NYtimes guest essay : ' to save America's coasts don't always rebuild them'
One more conference is over.
This time - all about aquaculture Of course, working primarily with shellfish, even if I consider myself an ecologist, I end up touching some topics that can be interesting for aquaculture.. one of those is carbon sink potential of shellfish farms |
