@ICACNow001 @GeoscienceAus @NRCan Do you mean 19:14? We felt something in the north!

[brook clinton @brookclinton]

@Rickard_Scott @ACT_ESA Yup, just felt one in north Canberra

@agronomistag Is there any benefit to the strategy of covering off on major plant families or do you have to get more specific than that before you see benefit?

[brook clinton @brookclinton]

More sustainable options in ag aren’t necessarily more expensive if you also consider the full range of benefits as well as upfront costs

#Paradigmshifting is such a buzz! I recall the excitment when #microbialecology was blowing up 15-20 years ago and now feeling it again as I read about recent evidence for #carbonsequestration mechanisms by #soil #microbes.

The more we know, the better we can do!

When it's a Public Holiday but #notadaytocelebrate so you find a cool spot on a hot day and clean up your @trello board. Seriously, #relaxedproductivity is one of my favourite moods 😁

Reading about the "value-action gap" when it comes to #sustainability, #climateaction and #behaviourchange attempts. Ain't that the truth!

Value of community - a 🧵
And that is where I sit with community now. I help others directly when I can but I also engage my imagination and look at public spaces as something that I could contribute to, and help beautify. And spread the good feels to those I’ve never met.

Being amongst dog walkers, early morning joggers, the lads trying to start an old car at the men’s shelter etc just takes you out of yourself.
Enjoying a shady spot prompts me to imagine ‘What if this spot could be made more lovely?’

Sitting on this dusty unloved spot with my morning cuppa means I still get to enjoy the gentle morning air, the birdsong, watching the funny 🐜 already being industrious on this quiet morning. And there’s a lovely feeling of just being in public space.

This morning, I could be in my carefully tended back yard, my sanctuary. Having my morning cuppa there is lovely on these summer mornings.
Sitting out on this dusty, un-cared for strip off ‘green’ space is not un-lovely.

But community doesn’t have to be a huge fuss, and it doesn’t have to be super intimate either. I run a community compost business. This morning I’m sitting out on a roadside, supervising food waste drop off after Christmas.

It’s still an effort to reach out for help. I feel guilty that I don’t know my neighbours better. Community doesn’t come naturally yet. But my mindset has changed I think.

And, I’m still not that active in any particular community although I’ve shifted my work and life to focus on community climate action (and help out at my community association).
Being child free means I don’t have the community of school.

I came to community late in life. I was a somewhat rebellious teen, not good at team sports and raised in a non-religious household. I had to idea to the value of community.

this year instead of Christmas cards I made everyone in my office a tiny ceramic object, this corgi was for the corgi ethusiast

With maximum aerobic metabolism comes great things like #humification, leading to increased #carbonsequestration.
We all produce #foodwaste so it’s a great #everydayclimateaction that we can all get involved in.

Loving this simple yet clear messaging on the value in food scraps. Happy #WorldSoilDay !
My business, Capital Scraps Composting maximises the life that you can boost with good scraps. It’s all about quickly setting up the right conditions for maximum aerobic metabolism.

[Enviro. Media Assoc. @green4EMA]

Today is #WorldSoilDay! Healthy soil = a healthy planet. One thing you can do to contribute to soil health is to compost your food scraps.
