I thought the ash heap was over more towards Willow Lake, but now that they're building a NYCFC stadium in Willets Point, they're saying that is where the ash heap used to be. Ash Valley. Whatever corporation buys the naming rights to that stadium, I'm going to call it the Pigeon Coop. I was pretty intoxicated by the stadium news yesterday, and weirdly bored and impatient. It took them 10 years to find a sit for a potential stadium and it's going to take another year or more for plans, approvals, and remediation. Remediation is trying to clean up all the toxic waste. Not sure what they do there, except maybe push it into Flushing Bay.
Walking in the woods or a swamp is good for the mind. Must have rained recently because it's pretty wet down by Willow Lake.
Who thought lawns were a good idea. Leaves should compost into the soil, but in modern times, you create a lot of noise pollution with leaf blowers, and then put all that good compost into plastic bags.
It's the equivalent of a Taylor Swift ecological disaster (source: "Taylor Swift’s plane was identified by the report as the “biggest celebrity CO2e polluter this year so far,” racking up 170 flights since January with emissions totaling more than 8,293 metric tons."). She moves her family around like chess pieces with her private plane. What an ecological disaster.
To say we're out of whack is to put it lightly. As the glaciers unfreeze, and old bacteria become revived, we're in for a multi-aspect shitstorm.
In this latest study, they found that average sperm counts all around the world had fallen by over 50 per cent over the past five decades.
"Data from 1973 to 2018 showed sperm counts dropped on average by 1.2 percent per year. Data from after the year 2000 showed a decline of more than 2.6 percent per year." (source) Nature is correcting herself.
I've got a potential backpacking trip to look forward to.
