twice is a coincidence but thrice... is a coincidence too. I’m not buying it being a Thing. But it is a pattern worth noting:

in 1820, 1920, and now again in 2020 there have been massive disease outbreaks! what is up with that?

in the 1820s there was a cholera pandemic [1820-1824 origin: british india] cholera caused severe diarrhea and dehydration. we should have had toilet paper shortages back then but for some reason it’s now.

in 1920 there was a spanish flu/influenza pandemic, but it was in its last waves [1918-1920 origin: unknown] caused a high fever, dry cough, and exhaustion. it affected younger generations more than older generations unlike corona and it was very deadly.

now in 2020 there’s the corona pandemic [2019-???? origin: china] which has flu-like symptoms... wash your hands... ironically this is occurring in the year of the rat.

a micro hydropower plant

guys. guys, guys, guys, guys, guys

This is a whirlpool turbine and it’s one of the coolest things to ever exist.

I’m familiar with wind turbines but I’ve never considered water turbines before and, man, what a shame because they change everything.

so as you can see, water flows into the whirlpool turbine and flows back out into the water source which could be a river a canal... possibly a lake or a fountain, idk the possibilities are endless.

It can power dozens of homes and it generates power 24 hours a day!

The whirlpool turbine is safe for fish and small debris to pass through

You know one small change that could help with climate change sooo much? Changing plastic bags to hemp paper bags.

I’ve said time and time again that hemp paper is better than tree paper because it grows faster, is more durable, takes up less land to grow, and takes less time to manufacture. Paper is biodegradable, easily recyclable, and easy on the eyes. We already know that plastic bags pollute the environment and are just general eyesores. Well, paper bags are obviously the solution to gross plastic bags. But not just ANY paper bags! Hemp paper bags.

How Can You Protest Effectively in the 21st Century?

People march and do demonstrations to protest and while that’s still fine and good, it doesn’t make a difference as fast as we want it to. We need to protest better. And in order to do that we need to adapt with the times.

Let’s all send an email to walmart, the biggest chain store in the world, to change their plastic bags to hemp paper bags.

Hemp is easier to harvest than trees, it grows faster and takes up less space but more importantly it’s biodegradable. It‘s the best crop in the world to breathe in CO2 and the best option to replacing plastic and other one-use materials.

email [email protected]

and if you want to make even more of an impact, you can download boomerang, an add-on for gmail that allows you to send recurring emails. Let’s pester the ever-living shit out of walmart so that we can solve a major component of climate change right now.

it’s simple. just put “use hemp paper bags” in the subject and hit send.
