I’ve always wondered why farmers aren’t considered the top industry when it comes to fighting CO2.
ONE acre of CORN absorbs ~36,000 lbs of CO2 through photosynthesis. Trees absorb 48 lbs of CO2/year. So in order to be equivalent to 🌽 you would have a large tree every 7.6 feet⬇️
Traces of Texas reader Debbie Terry was in Roaring Springs, Texas the other day and procured this photo of the day the town was opened on June 19, 1913. Roaring Springs is a town in Motley County that has a population of 214 hearty citizens. The town site was originally an Indian campground. At the time of the recapture of Cynthia Ann Parker in Foard County, Roaring Springs was the main Comanche outpost and was known for the purity of its water. In 1912, the community was laid out in the anticipation of service from the Quanah, Acme and Pacific Railway. The name "Roaring Springs" was adopted in 1913, when the railroad initiated service. A brick depot was soon established at the end of Broadway Street and handled passenger and freight traffic until 1971. The next year the depot was purchased by the town.
All of these folks gathered for the big event, dreams of a wonderful future in their heads.
Thank you, Debbie. I love it!
Congratulations to the @FUBTexas Girls

"Don’t do things that you know are morally wrong. Not because someone is watching, but because you are. Self-esteem is just the reputation that you have with yourself. You’ll always know."

I run a nonprofit @storybridgeama that relies on book donations so it’s not unusual for me to come across books that are this mature. I opened it up to find its birthday… #blackbeauty

If they praise you, SHOW UP and DO THE WORK. If they criticize you, SHOW UP and DO THE WORK. If no one even notices you, just SHOW UP and DO THE WORK. Just keep showing up, doing the work, and leading the way.

We are not positive because life is easy. We are positive because life can be hard.
It’s about choosing to look for the good, to see challenges as opportunities, and to believe in a better future (while taking actions to create it).
