Keith D JohnsonIf I were President, I'd put the armed forces and the young people to work repairing collapsing ecosystems.“The ultimate end to a growth economy is the same as an analogous growth: cancer. But for national economies, the victims are nature, soils, forests, people, water, and quality of life. There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world, and train all our young people to help. They want to. We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities, stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience.” – Bill Mollison <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#permaculture</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/restoration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#restoration</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/EarthRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#EarthRepair</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/earthworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#earthworks</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/drylands" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#drylands</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#water</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/soil" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#soil</a>

Keith D JohnsonHmmm.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RebeccaSolnit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#RebeccaSolnit</a> shared this image & said "A common response to mention of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/renewables" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#renewables</a> is a denunciation of mining for battery materials by people who don't seem to notice that fossil fuel is also mined/extracted -- on a scale that dwarfs everything else."I seriously wish I knew the actual ratio, which this image does not offer. 😠 There's something to it in that some of the MANY nationwide numbers of heavy equipment already extant, could be making small dams, ponds, wetlands, infiltration systems, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/keyline" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#keyline</a> plowing, erosion management, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/watershed" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#watershed</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/restoration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#restoration</a>, & so on, & would be far better use of a small bit of the remaining oil (most of which, of course, should be left in the ground). The tools that are destroying <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ecosystems</a> can be used for restoration & <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#rewilding</a>. A bigger outcome (a life-support system🙄 ) with far, far less less oil burned. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/earthworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#earthworks</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#energy</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FossilFuels</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#permaculture</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/relocalization" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#relocalization</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/renewables" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#renewables</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/EarthRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#EarthRepair</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/TerraformEarth1st" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#TerraformEarth1st</a>

Keith D Johnson<a href="https://kolektiva.social/@DoomsdaysCW" class="u-url mention">@DoomsdaysCW</a> The Repair Manifesto. If you can't fix it, it owns you. Repairing things is rewarding, liberating, & needed. Once we get good at it, we could also learn <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/EarthRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#EarthRepair</a>.

Keith D JohnsonI'm not a gamer, except for solitaire & sudoku, & I've imagined a game that would teach <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/EarthRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#EarthRepair</a> & <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#permaculture</a> so players would be empowered to actually do that, you know, like, outdoors? With levels inaccessible by staying in front of a screen but rather directed toward manifesting something, like a <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#garden</a> that fed people. I found this game merely by happenstance. <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1593030/Terra_Nil/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://store.steampowered.com/app/1593030/Terra_Nil/</a> "Subverting the builder genre, Terra Nil is about the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/restoration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#restoration</a> of a ravaged <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#environment</a>."
