A Vesper Sparrow, with food in the form of a grasshopper, paused briefly at Red Rock Coulee Natural Area south of the city of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. It was presumably on its way to nearby young to sustain, though I did not see a nest. (The small chestnut patch visible at the top of its wing is a diagnostic feature for this species.)

The artwork features two people representing the alternatives for sustainable fashion. The woman holds a boat shuttle for handmade loom weaving and there is mending visible on the man's denim jacket. He is smelling marigolds which is a natural dye. Both figures are standing in front of mounds of clothes reminding us to support slow fashion and reduce the amount of textiles going into landfills and reduce fashion waste.

The word sustainability can be heard every day, on too many occasions. The idea of green bicycles might no be so bad. I can see the wink.

Light breeze, early morning, ebb tide, fish biting — maintaining social distance on the lagoon.
Gold Coast sunrise on the Currumbin Creek Estuary — where fish are big and boats are small.

Todays Our Daily Challenge: In The Future.
I had lots of different ideas for this challenge but nothing grabbed me. I finally decided to go with this idea and after I took this shot, was happy I went with it.
Trees are like the lungs of the earth, taking in the carbon dioxide and giving off oxygen via photosynthesis. One of the keys to reducing green houses gases is via the use of trees. Forestry is considered to be one of the most sustainable and renewable resources on the planet. In fact, you could say the future depends on them. In the future, thanks to much knowledge that has been gained over the years, perhaps we can hope that there will be more attention paid to how trees are used and how trees like this, in particular, that are many many years old, are a very valuable resource indeed.
Sustainability and neo-ecology are the megatrends of our time. The topic of sustainability will be addressed in a target-group-oriented way via modular approaches consisting of keynotes, empathetic inspirations and hands-on workshop sessions, and will lead to prototypical developments of new solution strategies in the participants’ own contexts. The workshop offers a complete package based on the artistic and technological approach of Ars Electronica and the technical, economic and systemic know-how of the Institute for Clean Technology.

Designed to penetrate enemy defenses and hold forward positions, T.A.H. MK XXVII Morningstar Heavy Hardsuits had several features new and unique to their frame. Other than their distinctive appearance (reminiscent of the hardsuit's medieval namesake), the most obvious was the gigantic shield they carried. The Morningstar's armor was a [classified] composite that allowed them to withstand almost anything the Separatist Army shot, launched, or threw at them. Morningstars were also the first hardsuits to carry more than two Marines.
One of the most useful features were the boosters integrated into the hardsuit's legs. Although not capable of sustained flight or even hovering for more than a few seconds (only capable of short bursts), the afterburners made it possible for the heavy hardsuit to move quicker and breach Separatist defenses.
Very few Separatist soldiers saw Morningstar hardsuits up close. Fewer still lived to describe them.

Canned, sustainable insect treats from Thailand Unique Foods. According to the United Nations, there is no source of protein that is not considered a delicacy somewhere.
Thailand Unique's website says, "We have been manufacturing edible insects since 2003 and pride ourselves in providing the highest quality insects from carefully selected from GAP certified farms. All insects are manufactured to strict GMP and HACCP standards, and tested regularly to ensure they meet international food safety standards. You will also find our range of edible insects at various retailers across the global including UK, United States, Japan and Europe. Please contact for details about a retailer or distributor near you.
We proud to support fair trade practices and equal opportunities for our employees."
In addition to these treats they have quite an impressive selection of other treats such as crickets, water bugs, grasshoppers, superworms, weaver ants, rhino beetles. tarantulas and black scorpions to name just a few from their huge selection. They also have interesting candied insects such as chocolate covered scorpions and chocolate coated sego worms. Yummy Stuff 😜
It is time the lies around nuclear power cease.
Clean?
Come on. Radioactive wastes? Clean? And without only mentioning them, the embodied CO2 emissions of building, running, maintaining and decommissioning a power plant; the mining, transporting, processing and disposing of the uranium; make it not to be so much of a carbon neutral energy.
(note: The half-life of Uranium 238 is 4.5 billion year!)
Sustainable?
Uranium is the same as petrol, it'll run out. With all the power plants being built around the world, the uranium will face the same crisis as petrol in the next 20 to 50 years. When we think of the period of time we'll have to deal with the wastes, that seems to be an expensive price to pay for an energy we used for less than an hundred years.
Cost-effective?
When considering the whole cost of production of the energy, included the embodied cost of operation, the wind power has been found to be twice cheaper than nuclear power. And it's not the only one! Much cleaner, sustainable and cost-effective, but so little used, are tidal and geothermal power... and the resources are sufficient and near unlimited. Nuclear is only profitable for the ones selling the technology to developing countries.
We have so many better alternatives, why wasting time with such dirty energy?

Il est temps que les mensonges autour du nucléaire cessent.
Propre ?
Sérieusement ? Des déchets nucléaire ? Propres ? Et sans bien même parler de ceux-là, la quantité de CO2 rejeté pour la construction, le fonctionnement, la maintenance et le démantelement du'une centrale ; plus le minage, transport, l'utilisation et le traitement des déchets de l'uranium, en font une énergie loin d'être propre et de loin pire que la plupart des energies renouvellables.
(note: La demi-vie de l'Uranium 238 est de 4,5 milliard d'années !)
Durable ?
Comme pour le pétrole, l'uranium va s'épuiser. Avec toutes les centrales construites ou en projet, l'uranium fera face à la même crise que le pétrole dans 20 à 50 ans. Quand on pense au temps qu'il faudra pour éliminer ces déchets, c'est cher payé pour une énergie qu'on aura même pas utilisé 100 ans.
Rentable ?
Quand on considère le coût global de production de l'énergie, l'éolienne s'est avéré être deux foix moins cher que le nucléaire. Et ce n'est pas la seule ! Bien plus propre, durable et rentable, mais si peu utilisées, on trouve l'énergie marémotrice et géothermique... et les ressources y sont suffisantes et presque infinies. Le nucléaire n'est rentable que pour ceux qui vendent la technologie aux pays en voie de dévelopemment.
Nous avons aujourd'hui de bien meilleures et viables alternatives, pourquoi perdre notre temps avec une énergie si sale et instable ?
