@Hunter_Weiss I would buy that in a heartbeat.

@Hunter_Weiss Why?

Just met the folks at https://t.co/N1IbkK5K2o, they are doing some incredible work at the intersection of biology and technology within the space of regeneration.

Nature is hyper-connected, and because of this, small changes in systems dynamics can have massive downstream impacts.

Mr. Newton's quote, every action has an opposite and equal reaction, makes it seem that reactions are always linear, but oftentimes in nature they can be sub or super-linear.

When wolves were re-introduced into Yellowstone, the results were astounding.

Let's see what happens when they are re-introduced into the highlands.

@slimgoober No, the Innotech windows are amazing. I really like the deep wells. We were considering putting the windows outbound but that typically causes condensation due to a lack of air wash on the inside. My only regret is not buying their highest end Passive House model.

Before and after our deep energy retrofit.

Its always amazing to take something from pen to physical reality.

The house is very warm right now. -30 outside +21 C inside.

AI art gives gives me an unsettling feeling that is hard to describe. I have been really feeling a pull towards hand made, human art as of late.

Is anyone else feeling this?

[Rob Avis @rob_5thworld]

Nothing to see here...Just growing bananas in the cold Canadian North. #passivesolargreenhouse #permaculture #regenliving

@joinvdao @opencampus_xyz @animocabrands Congrats guys!

The propane tank froze this morning. Luckily we are hyper insulated so it was not a big deal.

Usually this happens at -40C. Because our propane tank is getting low the vapor rate must be low which caused the issue.

All homes in Canada should be built to #Netzero or @Passivehouse standards.

Ever wonder why we defecate in drinking water?

This is my son drinking from an "artistic" water fountain at the local science center. The artist was trying to make a point...

Greywater and composting toilets have come a long way and its something we will have to address as the world runs out of water.

🚨 No room for hyperbole in Canada's energy industry. We need a multi-pronged approach.

It’s not about either renewables or fossil fuels—it’s both.

✅ Expand exports (pipelines + ports)
✅ Invest in RE manufacturing
✅ Incentivize RE use to maximize exports
As NASA says: One is none, two is one. We need options. #Energy #Canada #Renewables
