I used to have a peach and fig tree, but I had to off load them on the in-laws. The MIL killed the fig, but the peach is still going strong! It was getting super lopsided on the balcony. No amount of rotating was going to stop it. One day…

I am on a condo balcony fighting for more sun with everything else, and they have been deemed 2nd tier in the sun hierarchy. I should be moving at the end of the year (no idea where to) and one thing high on the wish list is backyard space.

I’m so jealous! I have a bunch of vines that I started to propagate in February. Most started to really take off this last month or so, but no flowers. Hopefully next year!

While China is quickly becoming a global leader in clean energy adoption, it still has some work to do. The nation still relies heavily on coal-fired power plants and will need to retire those facilities in favor of more sustainable options in order to truly offset its CO2 emissions.

This is a bit of an understatement. China leads the world in both renewable energy usage AND coal use. And by a lot. Then they also lead in steel production with older blast and coke furnaces that are super CO2 intensive. And in concrete production and use, also super CO2 intensive.

I’m not trying to shit on the progress they have made. It is nice to see them taking this more serious than some others. But this article kind of green washes their energy, overplaying their renewables and not even mentioning their dirty power.
