Even if you’re not a gardener, its time to get your hands a little dirty #TEDTalks
Many gardeners work hard to maintain clean, tidy environments … which is the exact opposite of what wildlife wants, says ecological horticulturist Rebecca McMackin. She shows the beauty of letting your garden run wild, surveying the success she’s had increasing biodiversity even in the middle of New York City — and offers tips for cultivating…

How I Created OpenClaw, the Breakthrough AI Agent | Peter Steinberger | TED
OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger takes us back to the transformative moment he let his AI agent loose on the internet, igniting one of the world’s fastest-growing open-source projects. He makes a fascinating (and slightly unnerving) case that agents are a real shift, not just better versions of chatbots, and explores how they might reshape your…

Arm CEO on Proposed California Wealth Tax: Not a Good Thing
Arm CEO Rene Haas warns a proposed wealth tax in California could drive top entrepreneurs out of Silicon Valley. “I don’t think it’s a good thing if it drives really smart people outside the valley,” Haas tells Bloomberg’s Tom Mackenzie. This interview was recorded on March 23 for “Bloomberg Tech: Europe.” ——– Like this video?…

Did this guy just completely miss the fact that all plants have protein and as long as you get sufficient calories you will have sufficient protein? Or that our obsession with protein is not based in science?
We really need to talk about why people aren’t eating beans. According to “The end of Craving” it could be partially caused by added B vitamins in processed foods messing with our natural cravings for beans and whole grains.
Anyways just eat plants and you’ll save money and the planet.
And government should subsidize fake meat but not fruits and vegetables and beans and nuts? Come on…

Instead of producing grains for animals (which by the way are not their usual diet and make their health fragile and eventually sick. This does not produce healthy meat to us) we should do like nature does, animals are grazing the herbs which push plants to do more photosynthesis which produce more carbohydrate compounds which is stock in the soil via their roots. This method of production produce meat and at the same time stock carbon in the soil. There is no other better method to produce food which at the same time, reduce greenhouse gases. Why are we always looking for a technical solution when nature is showing us the right way to do things. Why are we always thinking that we can do better than nature while nature is producing food for millions of years. Are we stupid?

This runs the risk of being a phony solution that solves one ecological problem while making several other ecological problems worse. First, whole foods are healthiest for people, and any lab-engineered foods are highly likely to be less healthy or even cause more disease that whole foods would. Second, maybe this guy doesn’t know the science, but phrases such as “sustainable” protein are total bs greenwashing–you can’t claim any particular products or processes are “sustainable:” That term really only applies to the total ecological footprint of humanity or to whether your particular ecological footprint would be sustainable if 8 billion people lived as you do. Third, we would need to hear extensive data on the massive ecological footprint of all the buildings, machines, chemicals, and waste products of these processes before we could possibly judge whether this really makes things better… or improves our footprint enough.
Meanwhile, the research shows that if everyone switched to a vegan diet tomorrow, we could feed everyone using ~75% less land than we use now, dramatically reduce water consumption, reduce humanity’s CO2 emissions from agriculture, and we could then re-wild and reforest an area the size of North America plus Brazil, which would allow us to sequester over 600 billion tons of CO2 by 2050 in that re-wilded and reforested land. Vegetarian diets and very low meat diets achieve results that are almost as good or 2/3rds as good.
A vegan diet has less than 50% of the CO2 emissions of a typical omnivorous diet and less than half the freshwater use, and that’s a big deal given that agriculture represents 70% of humanity’s freshwater usage. Of course, everyone isn’t going to suddenly go vegan tomorrow, but the good news is vegetarian diets can be very close to vegan diets in terms of reduced environmental impacts, and very low-meat diets and switching beef for pork or chicken all move us closer to being ecologically sustainable. However, humanity is currently overshooting Earth’s sustainable carrying capacity by about 70% per year, and it will take a massive transformation of society, including MUCH more plant-based diets for us to stop the unraveling of the web of life that is already well underway and then heal ecosystems, stabilize the climate, and allow biodiversity to rebound.
@teyhoonboon5853
January 15, 2025 at 1:53 pm
The Earth is our only planet to survive and our responsibility to save the Earth. Therefore, people are required to take initiative to change their habit of eating plant based diet instead of animal products.

Dried mealworm is a tasty crunchy snack, with lots of protein. I eat them like others eat potato chips. The mealworms are healthier than chips, and taste better. Seaweed is good food too, and I’d like to try the other things he mentions. He’s right that we can’t order people to eat this or that, but there’s nothing wrong with making suggestions and recommendations. Governments in rich nations could certainly recommend eating less meat and more veggies, both for climate reasons and for health reasons. And support farmers in that transition.
@NoExitLoveNow
January 15, 2025 at 6:29 pm
If you like dried meal worms, fair enough, but all whole plant foods include all the required amino acids in varying amounts, and it all adds up. Eat a varied diet and include some beans or tofu and you will get plenty of protein.

As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.

I don’t really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I’ve been making more than $200k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don’t have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don’t blame people who panic.

How’s it possible he didn’t say a single word about reducing food waste?? It amounts to roughly 30% of total production, which, guess what, is mainly concentrated in the developed countries. This also means we are basically already capable of feeding 10B people. What’s the use of making new food if it then goes wasted?
Moreover, using high end technology and engineering to produce food brings to centralisation and promotion of capitalism and monopolies, which is also what’s happening with the multinationals owning the seeds of intensive monocultures.

Twisted statistics is a red flag. 2/3 of all agricultural land is used for raising animals because it is unsuitable for plowing. It’s basically pasture land which is quite sustainable and eco-friendly. Earths landscape has evolved with grazing animals. Cow burps has not been a problem until we started burning fossil fuels.

We have a protein fetish in this country. Most people, including vegans, get far more protein than is optimal. All whole plant foods contain all the required amino acids in varying amounts, and it adds up. You do not need “alternative proteins”. You do not need to “combine” proteins. Your body is good at conserving and making use of the protein you eat. Eat a varied plant based diet, and include some beans or tofu and you will get more than enough of all the required amino acids.

I’m not interested in lab-grown meat, but I’m not fooling myself that traditional methods of food production are not innovating to match global food demand/needs. I’m most concerned about the push for profits. These investors are relentless, and that’s when the foolishness of poisonous additives and too-quick-to-market tends to happen. I’m not against profits, but I don’t know how we should ever support people actively poisoning our food for profits.

Basically China has grown a taste for meat, and they have way more money to spend on it than before, so the rest of the world has to sell it to China, while marketing meat alternatives to their own populace, and price meat out the range of their poor. ‘Saving the environment’ is just a marketing pitch for that.
