Much of the flood damage from #HurricaneHarvey to #Houston is due to direct disregard for wetlands preservation. How does saving the beavers and pond critters save you from floods? Well, it probably doesn’t completely, but paving over the wetlands, which are awesome at absorbing flood waters in their natural state, creates a big, big problem when it comes to a major storm like this. Flood waters have nowhere to go…no place to absorb them…no buffer zone, except the Houston Underground and everybody’s basement.
So hey…let’s have less regulations, and allow people to keep building in river valleys and on lake shores. Let’s run pipelines through everywhere and pave over everything as fast as possible. Yeah, OK.
Look, it’s not just about oil spills and saving the owls…it’s about building smart, and with forethought and responsibility. It’s about loss of life and property, that could’ve been prevented with some educated planning, rather than unbridled urban sprawl.
And ps. It’s about #ClimateChange.

#News420 Maybe we can get some actual scientific data from Israeli researchers?
Not that our government will allow an Israeli scientific study to influence their drug prohibition policies, and the ability to arrest citizens for no reason, except their choice of recreational drugs. Alcohol is not safer. Tobacco is not safer. They are both legal. Meanwhile any study that shows usefulness or relative safety of cannabis is dismissed and ignored. Just like they ignore any “illegal” study, done in one of the States that has legalized cannabis.
Typical obstructionism. Don’t like the results of the study? Ignore it. Lie.

My entire life, I have always tried to walk barefoot as much as possible. I’m barefoot right now, and just about every day, all year long. I hate even wearing socks in the winter.
I’ve never made any scientific connections about it before reading this, it just feels “better”, more “connected” to the Earth…and wearing shoes makes your feet sweat…and stink. It makes sense though, if you think about it, that we are supposed to be electrically grounded to the planet.
Unless of course there’s a lightning strike nearby, in which case, bad things happen to grounded people. Just saying. #balance #grounding #earth #health
