Really excited to get chickens of my own one day!
I wish yours a good year.
If there’s one lesson I’ve learned as I enter year four of my foray into farming, it’s that lambs love to be born during the darkest hours of the coldest nights in the most inconvenient way possible. But we still love them, ‘cause they are the sweetest creatures around.
China is a major base of cheaper production for multinational companies which means China’s lockdown has effected many companies negatively. What did they expect? Maybe China no longer wants to give all of its resources and labour for cheap to the rest of the world.
For the Love of Peat: Our Best Defence Against a Changing Climate
Canada holds between a quarter and a third of the world’s peatlands. It’s time we took better care of them
Canada holds between a quarter and a third of the world’s peatlands, including acidic bogs and more alkaline fens as well as swamps and marshes. They can be found across the country, from British Columbia to the Northwest Territories to Nova Scotia, growing many metres deep into the ground. Due to their density of decomposed or decomposing plant material, one square metre of peatland in northern Canada holds approximately five times the amount of carbon as one square metre of tropical rainforest in the Amazon. But the country’s peatlands have been so degraded by the construction of mines and hydroelectric dams, by oil-and-gas developments, and by urban expansion that we are losing an ecosystem crucial to the prevention of natural disasters such as forest fires—as well as destroying a key mitigator of climate change.

Interested in looking for more mutuals :)

Earlier this year [~April 2021], the Parker Solar Probe passed through the Sun's corona, roughly 6.47 million miles from the Sun's surface, flying through structures called streamers, which are essentially waves of solar plasma. Until now, the streamers have only been seen from afar, mostly during Solar Eclipses.
Additionally the video depicts flybys of the following (in order): Mercury, Venus, The Milky Way, Saturn, Earth and Jupiter, with the latter overtaking earth toward the end of this sequence.
The next solar flyby will be happening in January 2022, bringing the probe roughly 3.83 million miles from the surface of the Sun. Earth, by comparison, orbits the Sun 93 million miles away. (HQ Footage)
