Amazofuturism III: Icamiabas by J. Queiroz
The Icamiabas were a legendary nation of female warriors that fought against the conquistador Orellana when he was coming back from the Andes. Reminded of the old Greek myth, he decided to call the river "El Rio de las Amazonas" or the Amazon River.
Solarpunk is my new favourite aesthetic. I just google imaged and could look at these for hours
Easy Plastic-Free Swaps
I tried to pick suggestions that could be easy to swap in for most people. Remember: you do not have to do all of these at once. Try one when your typical brand is used up, and see if it works for you.
Bamboo Tooth Brushes and Dental Floss
Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth, and has natural antimicrobial properties that makes it perfect for toothbrushes.
Not only are typical floss containers plastic, but the floss itself sometimes has nylon and teflon. Comparatively, plastic-free dental floss is made of biodegradable materials, and you can buy refill packs for the containers.
Shampoo and conditioner bars, and Bar Soap (with a soap saver)
Bar soap and bar shampoo/conditioners tend to be better for those with sensitive skin (due to having less ingredients), longer-lasting, and can be plastic-free.
"...studies show there is little to no transmission from bar soap to hands during washing." The Conversation
I put mine into soap-saver bags so that I can keep using them even when they are small.
Metal Safety Razors
Not only will a safety razor give you a better shave, but they can save you money, and the blades are 100% recyclable. You can also pair them with a shave bar.
Produce Bags and Reusable Grocery Bags
These, of course, only work if you remember to bring them. I try to keep some in both my vehicle and the bag I tend to carry, and I try to make myself put them away immediately after using them.
The Worlds First PlusEnergy Home was Built in 1994
There is a thought process that solar and green energy is "new" (and therefore unusable) technology, despite the fact that the first solar farm was built before WW1 and the first solar car was made in 1955.
It took some time for solar to gain popularity again after that(apart from for space tech, where it remained used), but eventually, the first solar-powered house was made in 1973.
21 years later, Rolf Disch built his home the Heliotrop in 1994 within Freiburg (Germany) using solar panels, a geothermal heat exchanger, a rotating base, and more.
With all the technology combined, it can capture 4-6 times more energy than it uses, and was the first house to do that(which is called PlusEnergy).
Two other models were built later on in Offenburg and Hilpoltstein(Bavaria).
While I do believe in diversifying energy sources (not relying on just one source), I also think it is unreasonable to discount the capabilities of solar. It sees tech improvement almost monthly now, and could easily help with energy struggles.

Meet "HV-100," The Plant-Sorting Robot 🪴 🤖
A company called Harvest Automation created HV-100, which is a robot that navigate their surroundings and is designed to work alongside people.
All it was designed for was picking up and moving plants, but if you have a large-production nursery, that is no small task. With the help of HV-100, plants can be sorted or even moved to safety before a storm.
Now all it needs is a cute face like the robot Duck has...
