“MIND THE WATER GAP
Mapping the world’s water shortages”
“By mapping the world's water shortages, we can help address our biggest freshwater challenges. That's why we developed the World Water Map in coordination with Utrecht University and Esri.
Now you can explore this new tool and see how we're using it to help:
💧 Answer questions about water supply and demand
💧 Locate water scarcity “hotspots”
💧 Determine sustainable solutions for people, wildlife, and ecosystems that depend on water”

“…The balloons don’t actually go to heaven, instead they land in our fields or in our waterways or in forests, for curious animals to choke on. They never biodegrade and never go away”

Nature Repair Markets?!?! OMG we’re doomed.
What’s next? Maybe washington mandating the purchase of privately owned for-profit logistics software so the trucks picking up all the dead human bodies can maximize their gas use.
Biden is also privatizing the distribution of farm and agriculture assistance into the hands of big ag
Washington is considering creating a “nature repair market” so Wall Street can monetize the rejuvenation of our failed biosphere. Money will go to the most profitable remediation and that is not necessarily the use of funds that delivers the maximum social good.
“The Bob Brown Foundation rejects monetising Nature and the premise that establishing a Nature Repair Market is an ecologically effective, permanent, transparent, accountable way to halt and reverse biodiversity loss and environmental decline in Australia.
“A Nature Repair Market or Green Wall St is an extreme expression of failed neoliberal economics and should be dropped in recycling bin now,” said Christine Milne.
“No evidence has been provided that the proposed Nature Repair Market will halt or reverse the extinction crisis. Considerable evidence does exist of similar markets failing and resulting in further biodiversity loss, double dipping, rorting and poor governance,” said Christine Milne.
“Australia can afford to secure our land, water and ecosystems. If we can afford $358billion for submarines to prop up our defence alliance, we can afford to protect the land that sustains us and actually secures our lives. After the submarine deal, the Government can never say it does not have the money, it is a matter of choice,” said Christine Milne.”
