Hi @gonatureforward.bsky.social, I do media in the D.C. area and was thinking about coming to the Civic Center today to help cover TNB. Would that be possible? You can see my work at sambutler.us

I was skeptical, but I just closed IG and opened Bluesky in search of some Farming While Beige -- the strategy works!
Your content was basically the core of the app for me, which is wild to think about -- IG was just a clunky old data-sucking ad wrapper around your content!

I've been curious to learn more about this from @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social. @molly.wiki also went on there from Substack. I would like to get to know Beehiv better and get more long-term trust from their ownership, and I also trust Molly and Ryan choosing it.

Housing near transit. Natural materials that store carbon. Rooftop solar connected to DC (no grid-tie or batteries required.) Solar thermal connected to boilers for hot water and heating.
That should be our climate plan. Follow / keep reading (vid below) ⤵️

There is no cheaper, faster, or more viable plan. (Happy to be proven wrong — bring what you've got.)
Incorporate it in your vision and start organizing to make it happen. Happy to answer questions, support, and help — we're doing this on the ground in mid-Atlantic. (6/6)

And homes built with natural materials — like straw bale, timber, hemp — are the best form of carbon sequestration. Plus healthy, well insulated homes without toxic construction materials. via @thelastfarm.bsky.social (5/6)

90% of the costs of solar are storage, inverters, and batteries / grid-ties. Grid-tied is still prone to failure and grid outages — leaving people vulnerable. Just put energy on the roof, where it's cheap.
Leave lithium in dirt and the deserts intact.
*That* is a *just transition*

Throw solar PV and solar thermal fluid on a roof, design the building to store heat thermally (and stay cool through insulation.)
There is a townhouse on Capitol Hill on offgrid solar, suburban houses are doing it, we're planning a condo project like it in Baltimore. (2/6)

Reading your opening, I thought this short story might resonate with you. (I'm working on more spec fiction in this realm, e.g. from now in American suburbs — if that interests you, I'd love to connect and explore some ideas with you!)
