Nature – Paul Noël

The human primate, the most disgusting of species

I posted this in February 2022 as well as in 2021. I don’t suppose things have changed much in that time.

25th February 2021

Ouch! That hurt didn’t it? We are all part of the human species and therefore we have some responsibility for its actions on the planet. No other species possesses the level of consciousness that Homo sapiens does at this present time.

If you are fortunate enough to go on a climate change causing holiday once the corona virus pandemic clears if you have any sense of duty to the natural world then you should boycott these four countries and in addition try to avoid buying any goods from them. They are China, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand. What we do to intensively farmed animals like cattle is bad enough but this is just depraved.

Think of me – I like wild gardens – organic cotton bag

This is a Scientist and Philosopher organic cotton bag that we have created using a Teemill base design. In the UK, in many cases, a garden is a very neatly arranged place and sometimes just a sterile lawn surrounded by 6 foot fences. Since gardens have replaced what were once wild places they need to be let go a bit and have at least an “untidy” corner. All sorts of wildlife will really appreciate it. Fences need to have holes cut in the bottom of them to let hedgehogs and other creatures through creating super hedgehog highways. You don’t need chemicals to get rid of your snails and slugs you need a hedgehog. We all need to start living more within the environment and not on top of it.

Check out how these products are made using organic cotton. We need to live in not just a sustainable way but one that causes the least environmental loading on the planet. You can even send these items back to be made into new things when you have finished with them.

The design is also available as a T-shirt in men’s and women’s styles and for children. You can see this bag and our other designs in our Teemill shop, https://junagarh-media.teemill.com/product/hedgehog-and-wild-garden-shopping-bag/.

Us and them, humans and nature, an unnatural balance

First posted 20th January 2021. The situation has not got any better since then.

A computer scientist at The University of Bath in the UK has come up with a way of counting elephants using satellite data, https://phys.org/news/2021-01-elephants-space.html. The sad part of this story is that because of poaching and habitat fragmentation there are only between 40 and 50,000 African elephants left. Habitat fragmentation is down to the number of humans because as I have mentioned before in the 366 days of 2020 the human population increased by 80,000,000, the increase on its own being perhaps 1600 times the entire elephant population in Africa. As we know many countries in Africa have populations in which 50% or approaching 50% are 18 or under years of age. Humanity is not sustainable, we are too many and we take too much.

What to do with a dying, pesticide covered, monoculture tree after Capitalistmas is over

So what will you do with that dying, pesticide covered, monoculture tree after Capitalistmas is over? Next year let’s get living trees planted in our streets, roads, roundabouts etc. We can remove parking spaces and instead of a parklet like below, grow a communal tree that we can all decorate. Where we can come together to celebrate life and not death and our local community.

All that glitters is certainly not gold

I posted this originally close to Christmas 2020. It might still be too late this year but if you haven’t already, it might be worth considering how damaging your cards, decorations and presents are, not only to the wider environment but to you, your family and friends

A bit late with this post but still something to consider for the future. Glitter is basically plastic and as it falls off cards and other objects and materials that it is applied to it will enter the environment. The problem is that almost if not all environments on Earth are polluted by micro and nano sized plastics particles. The soil, the oceans and the air. Sure, one of two particles might not kill you directly or quickly but this plastic pollution is finding it’s way up through the food chains including those of plants and accumulating in our bodies. These small pieces of plastic can join with other chemicals and pathogens so potentially can cause great harm, even to humans. It may look great but for life on Earth glitter probably isn’t.

Have you enjoyed your plastic meal?

I posted this back in December 2020. It’s as relevant now as it was then as we are still poisoning ourselves.

This is an excellent visual article on how much plastic we are all consuming. What we need to know is what are the long term health effects because of the pathogens and other chemicals that the micro and nano sized particles can carry with them. Where do they end up? Which organs and can they cross the blood brain barrier? This isn’t the way we should be living our lives and it certainly isn’t sustainable yet the fossil fuel corporations want to increase plastic production. We need to stop them. https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2020/12/11/in-pictures-how-much-plastic-are-you-eating

The plants will replace us and it’s not the Triffids

I first posted this over a couple of years ago. Not much as changed as far as we can see but those tiny plants are growing all the same albeit very slowly.

This picture is of some moss, or maybe something else, growing on the wall outside our flat. It doesn’t seem much but if the human race did go extinct through its stupidity or another life form such as a virus taking us out then these plants would start to take over. I’ll call them moss for the time being in my ignorance of that part of nature. Just as they would growing on a natural rock surface they would open up further cracks. Larger plants would take a foothold by perhaps a seed blown on the wind or one dropped by a bird or an animal. The building would crack further until it collapsed. The plants would continue turning the building rubble with the aid of rain and atmospheric gases into soil that would build up later by layer, year by year, millennia by millennia . A visiting alien in the future would just see depending on the physical conditions a mature wood or forest or meadow or prairie but no sign of humanity. Maybe the visiting aliens would drill into the surface and depending how long it had been since our passing would find the thin line in the geological record that represented us and all that we did. Treat the Earth with respect and tread lightly upon it.

A tree is for life and not just for Christmas – a repeat of previous years

Posted originally in January 2020 and again before Christmas 2021. If you haven’t already, think about whether you need a dead pesticide covered tree in your home that is adding to the problem of climate change.

January 2020

This Christmas think about decorating a local living tree. Cutting down trees for the short season of Christmas is environmentally damaging and disturbing ecologically. If it continues to grow it will soak up more of our CO2 emissions. Literally whole communities of animals, birds and insects will be made homeless. This tradition hasn’t existed for that long and you don’t have to do it just because somebody else does it.
