Wind: A Solarpunk Short Film
I'm making a new short film, which I'll release on my PeerTube channel. It is a final target practice for a feature film (titled Big Tree) that I intend to shoot next year, themed on direct democracy in a near-future solarpunk world.Dilman Dila
The generous donations today leave me breathless with thanks! I'm closer to reaching my first goal to make this film that imagines a future with no government so we have direct democracy; no police so we use traditional justice systems; no capitalism so no poverty. It's a dream worth having! Your support will help me envision this future.

#Google once promised to run “carbon free 24 hours a day seven days a week 365 days a year” by 2030. But five years later the company has quietly deleted its net zero pledge from its sustainability website rebranding the section and moving the goal into an appendix.
The shift comes as #AI data centres drive surging energy use. Google’s power consumption jumped 26% in 2024 nearly matching #Ireland ’s and the #Trump administration pressures #corporations to roll back #climate goals.

Just read "The Invention of Nature" by Andrea Wulf, an amazing biography of the naturalist Alexander von Humboldt.
Humboldt himself is not that well known anymore but he essentially laid the groundwork for our current conception of nature and environmentalism.
Humboldt traveled in the Americas and detailed the environmental catastrophe of colonialism in the early 19th century - his observations were strangely prescient and still relevant today.

Rapid global phaseout of animal agriculture has the potential to stabilize greenhouse gas levels for 30 years and offset 68 percent of CO2 emissions this century
Animal agriculture contributes significantly to global warming through ongoing emissions of the potent greenhouse gases methane and nitrous oxide, and displacement of biomass carbon on the land used to support livestock.journals.plos.org
With spring 🌱 upon us in the northern hemisphere, it is the time for the spring bloom in many lakes and oceans. To grow, #phytoplankton require #nutrients and #light, so start reproducing rapidly due to an abundance of nutrients mixed in the water column and increased light intensity 🌞. Zooplankton grazers have yet to increase, and warming conditions help to retain algae near the surface euphotic zone via stratification.
