Good Morning & welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday
Be kind.
You never know what someone’s carrying beneath their calm surface.
A smile, a kind word, a little patience, they cost nothing but could mean everything.
Leave a little kindness wherever you go.

In Ireland
• Nature is haemorrhaging
• Water bodies are sick and dying
• Greenhouse gas emissions from land are soaring
• Flooding is ever more catastrophic
• Etc...
Because we've turned nearly all wild, natural habitat into barren monocultures of grass or shitka.
Mass REWILDING is the solution.

With strong winds and high imports, the island of Ireland saw more renewable generation than fossil fuels in September. Rare, and great when it happens: we estimate CO₂ emissions for the month hit an all-time low.

as a side note someone should actually launch a like quarterly publication aimed at foreigners living in Britain, where we get to have our various questions about the natives answered in a thorough yet entertaining manner
I realise the audience for this would just be "me, and also maybe other foreigners" but I would love to read something on why Brits, who are happy to live in a country where their every movement outside is filmed by CCTV, hate the idea of having ID cards, something plenty of countries happily have

Book review: Greed and duplicity pollutes our politics and environment
The Irish farm and food lobby enjoys an incredible, anti-democratic influence, that has had a disastrous and escalating impact on our countryside, our waterways, and our mountains

No, for real, though, here’s my proposal:
As soon as you crest into $1 billion, we throw you a party, congratulate you for winning the game, and then we build a bunch of affordable housing and you wake up tomorrow in an apartment with $1000 to your name.
When you win the game, it resets.
