Hey what’s up for the weekend?
We will be out at our friend Ashley and Amanda’s farm celebrating the growing wins they’ve had this season and sharing some food together!
We wanted to host a series of on farm events to get you out on the land and experience what some of your local farms are working on- while sharing some of that local harvest and any growing strategies we can to help build strong, 💪 resilient food systems!

All details on the poster and please feel free to join us and bring some food to share if you like - potluck style 🙂

If we could agree to boycott a corp doing mega damage to the environment I think we can make some big changes- let’s start with party city. Stop buying all the garbage. Balloons 🎈 not worth it- or necessary to have fun.
♥️🌱🔥 🌍

A balloon released into the sky does not disappear. It eventually returns to the land or water.

Balloon releases are often used at birthdays, graduations, public events, and memorials because they feel symbolic and visually powerful. For families in grief or communities marking a milestone, the gesture can carry deep emotion. But once balloons rise out of sight, they can become a danger far from where they were released.

Latex balloons may burst high in the atmosphere or slowly deflate. Mylar and foil balloons can travel long distances before coming down. When they land in rivers, lakes, oceans, forests, fields, or shorelines, wildlife can mistake the fragments for food. Sea turtles, seabirds, deer, and other animals may ingest balloon pieces, which can block digestion, cause injury, or lead to starvation. Ribbons and strings can also entangle birds and other animals, making it harder for them to fly, feed, or escape predators.

Foil balloons carry another risk. Because their metallic coating can conduct electricity, they can cause short circuits when they contact power lines. Utilities have reported outages, repair costs, and fire risks connected to these incidents.

For many Indigenous communities, care for land, water, animals, and future generations is part of everyday responsibility, though teachings and practices differ from Nation to Nation. Conversations about balloon releases fit into a larger awareness of how small choices can affect the living world beyond the moment itself.

There are meaningful alternatives that leave less impact, including planting native flowers or trees, lighting candles where safe, blowing bubbles, scattering dried flower petals where appropriate, creating memorial art, or supporting a cause connected to the person being honored.

What are some respectful alternatives you have seen used for memorials, celebrations, or community gatherings?

Part 2
Just more of me trying to make sense of the world and encourage more people to join the action. Other people aren’t going to save the world/ our species. You are. You are the someone’s we need.
Continuing to consume and plan for a future that isn’t possible is not something anyone should be encouraging…. We need to question all the systems in place and begin rebuilding the world we need RIGHT NOW.
Action is hope. Continuing down the path of what we have done (status quo behaviour) is no longer an option.

Other books you could check out- hospicing modernity, and outgrowing modernity are great-

Education is a major area we should be looking to change. Doing more of the same and expecting any type of different result is actually crazy. ( spending countless hours inside disconnected from the land which we are a part of) Education largely directs us toward continuing to consume the way we have and in fact at accelerated rates - doing jobs that exist to exploit us and the land.
*cue back to school consumption and all of the madness that comes with it…. Gross. Excessive, benefits corporate interests and we don’t have to be pawns in that anymore. Opt out….
Breaking these patterns is essential/ and I know not easy. I don’t have an exact exit plan, but considering ways to do less of what you have always done to make money for other people is a strong place to start.

I know that reevaluating what we are currently doing feels hard….. I experienced that too. But if you know and can see things are extreme and headed towards more of that, then adapting is the choice we need to make, not continually doing things that perpetuate such harm.

Also look for and celebrate and create your own stories of how you can go about doing it. That is the future. Our co creation of new realities that do not centre the billionaire class. There are so many great examples of people doing this and all you have to do is start looking and moving in a direction that isn’t tied to continued destruction.

Learning something is a problem and then continuing on with the same behavior that got us there is actually crazy, making a change and realizing that is what is ne
