Or you could just be kind to people different from you.
I’m am adaptation scientist and here’s what I had to say about this—many years ago already.
People are afraid of lab-grown meat because everyone keeps calling it lab-grown meat

#beaver droning with Devon Wildlife Trust today. Amazing seeing the dams and wetland spread all the way across the valley bottom now at this site #NatureBasedSolutions @exeter.ac.uk @uoe-creww.bsky.social
NT Arlington in North Devon is absolutely awash with them ❤️ Especially along the floodplain of the Barnstaple Yeo river. Perhaps one to add to the map?
Facinating new tool to investigate the environmental, social and economic benefits of agroforestry from the University of Illinois 🌳🐄🌳🌾
I'll be diving into the platform to see how it works. Interested to see if we should pilot a similar platform here in the UK? #agroforesty phys.org/news/2025-02...

Fantastic word! And much needed after the cold winds of late 🙏
My better half and I had this very conversation yesterday. An extraordinary act of self harm, were it not in the pursuit of greater riches?
