Hours after a truck driver ploughed into revellers gathered to celebrate the New Year in #NewOrleans, #US President-elect Donald #Trump made false statements online claiming that the attack, carried out by a US citizen, vindicated his anti-immigrant rhetoric.
While we wait to see if some series of untoward mutations or reassortments affords HPAI H5 the ability to transmit efficiently between humans, we already have an array of highly unpredictable flu viruses that are quite capable of causing severe disease and disruptions.

Volcanic activity bubbling away beneath the Yellowstone National Park in the US appears to be on the move.
New research shows that the reservoirs of magma that fuel the supervolcano‘s wild outbursts seem to be shifting to the northeast of the Yellowstone Caldera. This region could be the new locus of future volcanic activity, according to a team led by seismologist Ninfa Bennington of the US Geological Survey…
Winter was going away. Ali’s father brought home a young peach tree, as it was Ali’s favourite fruit. Little Ali helped his father to plant the young tree in their small garden.
Every day Ali checked the tree and watered it. He was hoping that in the spring, his tree would give him thousands of great peaches.
Spring came, but Ali’s tree just had a few pink blossoms. Ali didn’t want any blooms he wanted so many peaches.
“Don’t worry. All the trees make blooms at first.” said his father.
Ali used to sit beside his peach tree to watch its pink blooms and to think about the fresh peaches.
One day Ali noticed the blooms were gone.
“Someone has taken my blooms,” Ali shouted.
“No one has taken them. It’s the wind, that’s been taking them. Don’t worry the fruit part is still there.” Father replied.
Ali couldn’t understand all his father’s words and got mad at the wind and even his peach tree and stopped paying attention to it.
Summer came, and Ali was playing in the yard when he noticed a big peach hanging from his tree. Ali got excited, but not to lose the peach he kept it hanging.
After a few days, he saw a part of the peach was eaten.
“The wind has eaten my peach,” Ali screamed.
Ali’s mother smiled and said: “No my dear, the sparrows have eaten your peach.”
Ali picked up a stone to throw at the sparrows, but his mother said; “We should never be unkind to God’s creatures. We should always share with others all the good things we have. Kindness is the key to happiness.”
Autumn came and the little tree’s leaves turned yellow.
Ali asked his mother: “Do the trees get sad too?”
When the winter came and Ali’s tree was covered with snow he asked his mother: “Do the trees get cold?”
And finally in the summer Ali’s tree had ten beautiful peaches hanging on it.
Ali picked nine of them and left one for the beautiful sparrows. Now he knew sharing and kindness are more satisfying.
Diesen interessanten Dokumentarfilm über ein ökologisches Dorf in Djursland, Dänemark, habe ich bei Kirsten Dirksen auf YouTube gefunden. Die Bilder stammen aus dem Film, und der Text stammt von Kirsten Dirksen.
… I have found this interesting documentary about an ecovillage in Djursland, Denmark on Kirsten Dirksen’s YouTube channel. The photos are taken from the film, and the text was written by Kirsten Dirksen. The English text follows in one block after the German.
Vor 22 Jahren kaufte eine Gruppe von Freunden ein sehr erschwingliches Maisfeld im ländlichen Dänemark und machte sich daran, Häuser zu bauen, die sowohl schulden- als auch abfallfrei waren.
Was als mutiges Experiment mit 13 Familien begann, verwandelte das Land bald in das Ökodorf Friland (was „Freiland“ bedeutet), eine eng verbundene Gemeinschaft, die sich einem Leben auf das Wesentliche konzentriert.
Die Häuser wurden aus natürlichen und wiederverwertbaren Materialien wie Strohballen, Muscheln, Sägemehl und Grasdächern gebaut, was den tiefen Respekt der Gemeinschaft für die Umwelt widerspiegelt.
Heute ist Friland das Zuhause von 45 Familien und ist zu einem Leuchtturm kooperativen, umweltverträglichen Lebens geworden. Der Kern der Philosophie von Friland ist der Grundsatz, dass die Bewohner keine Hypotheken aufnehmen können, um ihre Häuser zu bauen, was bedeutet, dass sie im Voraus genug Geld sparen müssen. Viele beginnen damit, in Wohnmobilen zu leben, während die meisten ihre Häuser langsam und von Hand bauen und dabei Eigenständigkeit und Einfallsreichtum im Vordergrund stehen.
Steen Møller, einer der Gründer des Dorfes, hat den Abfall seines Hauses in Ressourcen verwandelt. Als gelernter Landwirt hat Møller einen thermischen Masseofen entworfen und gebaut, der sein 75 Quadratmeter großes Haus mit minimalem Holz heizt. Anschließend fängt er die Abgase des Ofens auf und leitet sie in ein unterirdisches Gewächshaus, in dem er im Winter Salat anbaut (selbst wenn Schnee liegt).
Møller fängt auch das Grauwasser seines Haushalts auf und leitet es unter das Gewächshaus seines Hauses, wo es in einem mit Muschelschalen gefüllten Behälter gespeichert wird, der das Wasser filtert und einen sehr üppigen Obst- und Gemüsegarten mit Nährstoffen versorgt.
Über seine innovativen Häuser hinaus fördert Friland lokale Unternehmen. Die Bewohner unterstützen sich gegenseitig durch gemeinsame Projekte wie einen von Freiwilligen betriebenen Lebensmittelladen und ein Café, monatliche gemeinsame Abendessen und eine jährliche Versammlung, bei der sie neue Initiativen planen.
Das Dorf verfügt sogar über ein Michelin-ausgezeichnetes Restaurant, das Restaurant Moment, das von ehemaligen Bewohnern betrieben wird und Zutaten aus der Region und Grauwasserrecycling verwendet, um Frilands Ethos zu entsprechen. Vereint durch ein gemeinsames Ziel streben die Bewohner von Friland danach, schuldenfrei zu leben, ihre Umweltbelastung zu reduzieren und einen Lebensstil zu pflegen, der auf Verbundenheit und Zusammenarbeit beruht.
Twenty-two years ago, a group of friends bought a very affordable cornfield in rural Denmark and set out to build homes that were both debt-free and waste-free.
What began as a bold experiment with 13 families soon transformed the land into the eco-village of Friland (which means „Freeland“), a tight-knit community committed to back-to-basics living.
The homes were constructed with natural and recyclable materials like straw bales, seashells, sawdust, and sod roofs, reflecting the community’s deep respect for the environment.
Today, Friland is home to 45 families and has become a beacon of cooperative, low-impact living. At the core of Friland’s philosophy is the principle that residents cannot take on mortgages to build their homes, meaning they must save enough money in advance. Many begin by living in campers, while most build their homes slowly and by hand, prioritizing self-reliance and resourcefulness.
Steen Møller, one of the village’s founders, has turned his home’s waste into resources. A trained farmer, Møller designed and built a thermal mass heater that heats his 75-square-meter home using minimal wood and then he captures the stove’s exhaust pipes it into a buried greenhouse where he grows lettuce during the winter (even when there’s snow on the ground).
Møller also captures his household’s greywater, piping it beneath his home’s greenhouse, where it’s stored in a bladder filled with mussel shells that filter the water and provide nutrients to a very abundant fruit and vegetable garden.
Beyond its innovative homes, Friland encourages local enterprises. Residents support each other through shared projects like a volunteer-run grocery store and café, monthly communal dinners, and an annual assembly where they plan new initiatives.
The village even boasts a Michelin-recognized restaurant, Restaurant Moment, run by former residents, which uses locally sourced ingredients and greywater recycling to align with Friland’s ethos. United by a common goal, Friland’s residents strive to live debt-free, reduce their environmental impact, and foster a lifestyle rooted in connection and collaboration.
I saw Auden Schendler, the sustainability director for Aspen Ski Resort, speak years ago after his first book came out. Getting Green Done highlighted the actions they’d taken internally. But he’s just releasing a new book. He realized all the good internal actions didn’t move the needle on their climate performance, so he got tough. He just spoke here in Durango. If he’s coming to your city, I’d encourage you to go. But you can get the gist of his message from this post on the International Society of Sustainability Professionals blog.
