You could crosspost your flying fox photos too.

Haha, we posted the same thing at the same time. Good times all round.

Planted several weeks up to a week before the record flooding in SE QLD. Lost a heap, had to straighten many but surprisingly did well. The photos are about a year apart.

Thank goodness Global Warming is finished /s

 

Australian banks lack commitment to stop financing deforestation, hindering net zero policies and under-reporting of financed greenhouse gas emissions. Banks can play a pivotal role in protecting nature and combating climate change.

"Fantales": the cross platform app. Only $4.99.

Most Australians (97%) want more action to protect nature, even if they don’t know the full extent of the biodiversity crisis. This has led the World Economic Forum to declare biodiversity loss as the third most severe threat humanity will face in the next ten years.

Encouragingly, almost everyone (97%) wanted more action to conserve biodiversity.

This shows that even when awareness is limited, people value nature and recognise the importance of protecting our natural environment.

More than 70% of people also support: banning logging in native forests introducing laws to prevent domestic cats roaming the streets requiring businesses to report their impact on nature establishing new protected areas (such as national parks) at places with high biodiversity. Significantly, very few people opposed these policies (between 3% and 9% across the suite of policy options).

He never said. Websearch the quote.

He worked hard to buy his first house at 17 so I'm sure he owns at least one.

 
 

On reddit there were a few Australian communities like birds, plants, animals, gardening etc.

As Lemmy is a fraction of the users, can we have a community that encompasses them all, then splits later if Lemmy takes off.

I was guessing "AustralianFlora&Fauna", then renaming community to flora and making a new fauna later.

BUT, that doesn't cover gardening as flora sounds like native vegetation.

Thoughts? "Green", "Outside", "Environment", etc? Environment could cover everything including gardening. For now. Could pad up Environment with news articles too.

"Landlord reveals he owns almost 300 properties in talkback radio call".

Can you imagine how this guy is feeling...

You are now not allowed to complain when the El Nino of the next 3 years sets record high temperatures and record consecutive high temperatures.

Enjoy the reprieve, the Earth is already in the hottest global months of all time and you are asking for more?

Even Murdoch can't deny it: https://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/climate-change/recordhigh-global-temperatures-trigger-warning-2023-may-be-hottest-year-on-record/news-story/a0ddecb00b6aca00e338a154aaf00131

Prepare yourself.

Thanks for this!

I tested my site devoted to a particular environmental issue with great trepidation (not a coder or programmer so built it off the shelf)...

A. Phew!

It's so interesting reading different opinions.

This article posted recently to Lemmy states that a large storage tank is a good thing.

It's been a labour over a long time, just little sessions of an hour or two here and there. Total, I didn't count but if you took a price on the labour versus some wire shipped in from China, it's more expensive.

The posts were felled, cut, and split maybe 2 years prior from a Gympie Messmate planting (same guy I did the gully planting for). I watched one video of "competition fence splitting" and got the idea and had a go. The bamboo is from an unwanted clump on a bamboo farm, it's a cultivar of Bambusa textilis. It's not too far from the picture so I cut and dragged it there, then removed branches and shortened the culm up a bit. Usually one would split the bamboo and weave it tighter but I was trying to make it "cheaper" by making the posts further apart and not splitting (less Eucalyptus wood needed, less time on culms). A traditional "wattle" has upright posts close together and uses bendy, green wood and bamboo isn't that bendy when not split, hence the longer upright distance.

All good. Just a crazy answer at this point from a personal perspective. Why not just go back to reddit then? I'm not having a go, just wondering where the line is because you will, without a doubt, get into trouble with discord. Some sort of monetisation bullshit, coupled with the selling of all your data.

For me, it's like the people who use Facebook after it was implicated in a genocide, and then almost another one. And the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Like what I assumed most people would do, I drew the line at 1 (one) genocide but others can probably handle a couple to a few genocides? Seems crazy to me that people still use it and Instagram and Whatsapp. It's fucking genocide, people! Like literally the worst thing that can be done and FB just let it happen. Oops.

This is another reason why we federate with ActivityPub.

Sunshine Coast.

The gully is for a neighbour in his 80s that has had a stroke. He is a cool dude who has restored a lot of forest so I'm getting him back by growing some stuff and then planting it.

I've planted 163 so far, did some weeding, and reshaped the headcuts to 2:1 ramps. Hard to see from the photos but the entire thing including the slopes had been planted out by him starting from 30 years ago.

The bamboo thingy is on another neighbour's bamboo farm.

 

What do we think is best?

If we start bringing in all the reddit-style groups, there would be a lot of niche areas.

For example: Australian Plants, Australian Birds, Australian Wildlife, Gardening Australia, Permaculture Australia and that's just a fraction of niche areas under a larger umbrella.

Now, all this above could be under Environment or Green or something similar but at some point, if this instance got popular, would need to be fractured apart. What is best? General or lots of communities for now?

Personally I think General but later on down the track, it means some contained content would be lost to the move and it's a start again process.

 

I just threw a post on lemmy.ml/c/Australia mentioning this instance. I saw it was in some comments but wanted it a bit more visible.

I hope that's OK. I think instance and community advertisement should be allowed for a while so people can coalesce to the more appropriate ones rather than fragment everywhere.

It's a zippy little instance too! Hopefully this stays up.

 

Before the Cannabis fans repeat the tired tropes of reddit, how do people feel about making an actual photos of trees group so this community can stay more generalised? Could the above link be the one?

https://sh.itjust.works/c/trees could be the marijuana one?

I know this is a bit meta but it's early days in community design and figured it's prudent.
