I truly like the show PBS Space Time. It’s for folks like you and me. Very informative and in-depth and fascinating. (Even the advert at the end is way cool.) In this case, the topic is one I spoke to, in the classic show LIFE AFTER PEOPLE. What traces of our civilization’s tenure on Earth might be detectable in the near, middle and far future eras – after we are gone? And might civilizations ‘clean up’ signs of their presence, in order to make that kind of detection more difficult? Perhaps by dumping the ‘dross’ of their cities and other messes into plate-subduction zones, the ultimate recycling system? As I show in BRIGHTNESS REEF? (You’d love it! Plug.) https://lnkd.in/geWuCdgV

Upstream problem-solving is an approach that aims to creatively address an issue at its source. The analogy is that of a river, where at its source it is but a small trickle while once it reaches the sea it may become a huge and forceful estuary. Making changes downstream at the estuary will require great energy and resources and may easily get overwhelmed by the force of the river at this stage. However if we move upstream to the river's source and make changes there our resources can be much more effectively applied and may have a transformative effect.

Day 1: The Lifeblood of Civilizations – Water's Crucial Role in Prolonging Our Days The journey of human evolution is a tale of overcoming adversities. As we embarked on the path of progress, we battled elements of nature, crafted tools, erected monumental structures, and penned profound philosophies. Yet, the quest for pure water, our most primal need, stands out as a pivotal chapter in this odyssey...

The collapse of the "Double Arch" in southern Utah highlights the delicate balance between time, nature, and preservation. While this geological event is a natural process, it serves as a powerful reminder of the need for ongoing efforts to study and protect our natural landmarks. The loss of such a feature raises important questions about how we can better understand and mitigate the impacts of natural forces on our cultural and environmental heritage. https://lnkd.in/eeE74aQw

🔥 This insightful quote originates from the research paper "Centering Indigenous Voices: Exploring the Role of Fire in the Boreal Forest of North America", where the researchers examined existing literature documenting Indigenous voices and the historical connection between Indigenous communities, fire, and landscapes. “Fire is connected to a wide range of species on which Indigenous communities depend on, and the presence and absence of fire narrates how these relationships between humans, plants, and animals transpire”. “Instead of conceiving fire exclusively as a tool, Indigenous peoples see fire, humans, and other elements of the environment as active components in the boreal, and link their epistemological worldviews to the relations between human and nonhuman entities on the land. Indigenous conceptualizations of fire, relation and land offer radical alternatives to dominant approaches to fire and the environment”.

Title: The differences between The Earth and we as people. By : soulemane m Jalloh. contact:+971542872983. email:Soulemane14lib@gmail.com. we the people that are living on the surface of the earth are more dangerous than the earth itself why because the earth is always calm, humble, and aslo remains to its position without violating the rules of nature. However we as people who are living on the surface of the earth are always creating problems in the environment that we are living on and also violating all the rules of nature and rules of law and humanity. The earth is more important than us as people why because it's produce all these great things that we consumed as a human, but we human ourselves doesn't produce anything for the earth to benefit from except chaos, disasters, and dangerous management of the soils. Therefore let respect and help each in this world that we are living on because this beautiful world is helping us as a human with a lot of great ideas, shelters, and achievements.

When governments find themselves fighting the threat of coastal erosion, their default response tends to be pretty simple: If sand is disappearing from a beach, they pump in more sand to replace it. This strategy, known as “beach nourishment,” has become a cornerstone of coastal defenses around the world, complementing hard structures like sea walls. The problem with beach nourishment is obvious. If you dump sand on an eroding beach, it’s only a matter of time before that new sand erodes. Then you have to do it all over again. Beach nourishment projects are supposed to last for around five years, but they often disappear faster than expected. Moreover, a big coastal storm can wipe them out in a single night. And the costs are staggering: Dragging in new sand requires leasing and operating huge diesel dredge boats. Only the wealthiest areas can afford to do it year after year. Now, after decades of reliance on repeated beach nourishment, a new strategy for managing erosion is showing up on coastlines around the world. It’s called the “sand motor,” and it comes from the Netherlands, a low-lying nation with centuries of experience in coastal protection.
