Two years ago, Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine.

But any country facing life and death does not bow down. Ukraine is no exception.

The war continues, but the spirit and hope for victory remain on Ukraine's side.

In desert and drought prone places this also can help more water reach aquifers over time and reduce flooding

"The idea of depaving, sometimes known as desealing, is a simple one – replace as much concrete, asphalt and other forms of hard landscaping as possible with plants and soil. It's been around since at least 2008, when the Depave group in Portland was founded."

The cities stripping out concrete for earth and plants

From Australia to Ontario, cities are taking up unnecessary stretches of concrete and asphalt, allowing nature to take hold in their place.

"Some note that almost all of the work being done on climate risk is still at the stage of “let’s see if we can measure how big this shitstorm is” and not yet close to “here’s our shitstorm management plan — grab a shovel.”" This may still be the let's try to measure stage, but that's still GOOD.

91 indictments in & Trump has been arrested.

Again—Let's be clear.

Trump was NOT arrested by Biden, Clinton, Soros, Big Bird, Target, Wokeness, Disney, pride flag, CRT, or Barbie. Trump was arrested by law enforcement after his fellow citizens indicted him—as US Constitution requires.
