Hey, #YEG,

The Secret LongTree Society🤫is meeting at @felice_cafe on Monday at 7 pm.

If growing 1000-year-old trees from seed seems fun, you should come.

🌲⏳

We have trees🌲🌳

Our members fund trees for folks who need them. Become a member or request a tree.

[Paths for People @pathsforppl]

Planting trees in our communities is a way to mitigate heat waves. Yet, we still see neighbourhood renewal retain overly wide road right of ways in many places.

We need to take every opportunity to protect ourselves from climate-change induced heat waves. More trees 👏 🌳

Hey, #GETCA2024,

If you want to grow trees with your class, find us at table 15 in the exhibition hall (West Wall).

Bonus points if you can name the brown squiggly pods at our booth.

So much for the "Alberta model". #ableg

Alberta is a place where opportunity is endless – for all of us. Today, I am proud to share my vision with you. I am running to be the leader of Alberta’s NDP and the next Premier of this great province.

Join me, and let’s write the next chapter in Alberta’s story.

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

Homelessness, drought, leaking coal mine, burning oil well, 12-hour emergency room waits and towns without doctors.

What is premier Daniele Smith preoccupied with?

Drinking straws, again.

I suppose she tackles what she’s able to understand.

I am not a criminal. But today I was charged with a criminal offence while doing my job as a journalist documenting the actions of police raiding vulnerable, unhoused, unarmed Indigenous Peoples in their own territories to displace them out of their tent homes & throw their belongings in a dump. I’m pissed that I was impeded from reporting on the incident. I’m pissed about the continual trauma faced by our people; the forcible removal of our people from Native lands & the phony charade of reconciliation. The violence that occurred today is not the answer. I can’t stop thinking about the people whose belongings were ravaged and thrown in dumps today. About the city injunction to sweep these people to the curb as if that will solve the problem. The city does not have a solution, the province doesn’t either.
When the officer told the elder today they were going to be ‘forcibly removed’ I thought, ‘same old.’ The land acknowledgments are a joke. Edmonton isn’t the only place this is happening, it’s the aftermath of the greatest injustice that’s ever occurred across Turtle Island. The aftermath of genocide, yet the violence willfully continues.

I have no words for how cruel this all is. #yeg

[Darren Markland @drdagly]

I should have known what would come. Their shopping carts lined up at the trail head, all they owned bundled in tarps and bungee cords. By the looks of the strewn possessions it wasn’t easy dragging them over the tree roots and through bramble.

[Darren Markland @drdagly]

“Get the bone saws ready.”

For those who survive this there will be a lot of amputations to perform. Frostbite, disability, immobility, invalidity and finally mortality. This journey through the hospital will consume far more resources than stable housing ever would.

Hey, #YEG,

Let me tell you about the #yegdt Holowach Horsechestnut tree and show you how to grow one.

[Shrubscriber @shrubscriber]

We believe in a world where anyone can grow trees, regardless of previous gardening experience or space.

That's why we offer a propagation course with seeds, step-by-step videos and resources.

If growing trees sounds fun, check out the link or DM me.

1500 Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine (#pinusaristata) seeds, each capable of growing for thousands of years. There are more than 1.5 million years of potential growth in the palm of my hand.

Edmonton neighbourhoods with greater tree canopy coverage are cooler on hot days.

One of the biggest influences on how we get around is how we build our city.

Less automobile usage is one of many ways that increased density, like the kind allowed in the new zoning bylaw, helps us massively reduce our climate impacts.
