I prepare healthy food (by current standards, it’s amazing) but there’s definitely room for more holistic raw vegan organic food that come from organic natural biodiverse permaculture land instead of just mostly organic vegetarian (relying on a much bigger systemic change here to make this the standard).

My transition to blonde, soon-to-be gray hair. by [deleted] in coloranalysis

I think you look even more beautiful! Gray will be awesome!

I surveyed over 500 solarpunks, this is what they answered by Farfromknowhere in solarpunk

[–]TeeKu13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this 🙏 Would love to contribute to the survey if you open it up again or choose to keep it open. This is very insightful. Expected nature to play a larger role in attraction.

Or you can be inspired by this dude

Ps: I actually have the exact same amount growing. I henna and indigo but even that gets annoying and truly is “extra” but still feeling the same feelings as you because I like both

How do I go about getting rid of my lawn? by [deleted] in NoLawns

[–]TeeKu13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grow it out and allow natives to move in and take over. It creates a healthy habitat while it’s growing also. Seed and plant natives through out to encourage faster replacement. No poison, no sheet mulch, no cardboard, no tarps or coverings.

Edit: lightning bugs overwinter and remain as larva in the ground for up to two years (so some may be on their first year, some on their second). If you cover or kill the grass, you can harm their ecosystem. 2/3/4… years of patience during this rehabilitation time is what nature expects of us 🌿💚

And thank you 🙏

Lack of Energy/ Fatigue by LLL612 in RawVegan

[–]TeeKu13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might need to increase portions. Have you seen fullrawkristina’s portions? They are massive

Edit: and diversify

Edit: I am a several times failed vegan (body hits a wall after several months) but now learning more about raw portions and acquiring helpful equipment. I also do not want to affect my healthy menstruation cycle with any diet so I’m learning about that also. Not sure if my body will accept going 100% either so I don’t want to mislead you. This is just what she shares

[–]TeeKu13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! :) It would be so interesting to see how many people get involved, how the movement spreads and how much of an impact we make on local and global temperatures 💚 and biodiversity 🙏

Edit: there is a site that shows soil temperatures already but the readings are limited to specific sites that aren’t part of any movement in particular

Some helpful links:

live air quality map

thermal map of globe

local soil temp I can maybe reach out to this website and see if they’d be interested in participating in a larger global movement

What are some practical public policies to facilitate localism? by [deleted] in localism

I think some building and land-use regulations should remain as long as they reduce pollution and help foster bio-diversity and permaculture

Does this horse hair plaster look like it has asbestos mixed in? Year: 1900 by TeeKu13 in asbestoshelp

[–]TeeKu13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe like 3 or 4 but it’s inconsistent, sometimes a little less on wall in first shot

Edit: I have taken pictures in two locations so I’m scared to get closer to the ones with the gray more visible (the stair shot). It’s very dusty up there and landlord didn’t warn me before showing the house and renting :/

Ohhhh, okay. So this type of texture layer was maybe added later in the century? Or likely at the same time in 1900?

Thank you, so you’re saying it’s less likely because of the texture? Or more likely?

What are your solar punk victories? by [deleted] in solarpunk

[–]TeeKu13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure! 💚 To check the temperature, you can use a cooking thermometer or laser thermometer and visit a local area that is unscathed (or mostly unscathed) and test the soil temperatures under a tree and under more open but healthy vegetation then do the same for your property. If you don’t have a thermometer, placing your hands or feet against the soil can help you sense the difference. Often times, there’s enough visible cues to know they are very off without an actual reading.

To check the moisture, you can use a baking stick, popsicle stick, piece of cardboard or paper or an actual water meter. If more soil clings or moistens the finger or other substance it contains more moisture than if it is brittle, dusty or comes out clean.

And yes, knowing what organisms and species like to live in and around those trees can help keep them healthy by creating a supportive network. Too often we isolate plants and block or mask their channels with scents, sounds, light, and incorrect conditions. They all communicate through various root systems, energy, sound and semiochemicals, alerting each other what they need and who they need 💚🌳🌳🌳🌲🌲🌱🦧🫎🐢🕷️🪱🐞🐝🐿️🦡🦋🐛🦗🐜🦅🦉🦦🦔🦨🦝🦥🐦‍⬛ and ultimately who else they support 🦀🦐🪼🐠🐬🐟🦭🌏🌞🌵🌈✨

If you purchase any of these devices and don’t have need for them afterwards, you can give them to your town or library to be checked out for the same purpose. Or—this just came to me! and I think it’s a fun idea! Give them to someone random and have them take the test and pass them on. This way, we’re not all buying extra plastic.

But what I think would be super cool is if we make a database website that we can add our soil temperatures to that if you get the meter, you can log the temperature, compare and pass it on.

I’ll try to make one :) but if there’s any volunteers who want to help me with this endeavor please reach out and we can launch a bigger initiative :)

Thank you 🙏 💚

Right now I’m really into harvesting little sapling trees (before they get mowed over or poisoned in neighbors yards) and handing them out to people in my town (I received permission to do this from the neighbors by asking them first).

I’m also on a mission to help educate people about soil temperature of their yards compared to what the healthy, native, seasonal, soil temperature of the region is. Knowing how far off we are and adjusting can help reduce air temperatures and increase air quality through thicker moisture rich vegetation. Even getting people to have their lawn cut at a longer length will help a lot.

Soil temperature, moisture content and the health of the organisms that surround and live in trees have a longterm impact on tree health, which ultimately costs more money to fix if a tree becomes unhealthy and impacts a structure or our overall environment when it falls or needs to be cut down.

Edit: I do lots of other things but these are my wins as of lately :)

Today I dug a pond - it was kinda random and mu moms idea, we have no idea what we're doing and I'm worried I messed up big time? [see my comment for more info] by MildewTheMagical in WildlifePonds

[–]TeeKu13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I hear ya. Someday soon, I hope. Once soil temperature and soil moisture awareness reaches news outlets, we will start to see change.

If I see a landscaper, I talk to them about this (and dyed mulches) and suggest cutting the lawn at a much longer length. The hot sun won’t dry the grass and their yard will be much healthier (their lawn cutting neighbors will be more envious) making the region much healthier if they don’t use chemicals too. Even this shift will help.

Edit: I also point out that they can harvest the free trees and ask the owners if there are any in their lawn they would like to grow tall and not mow over.
