Most people don’t realize that conventional dairy already has been focused on sustainability, we just don’t advertise

- We sequester carbon with the crops growing for the cows

- We use organic fertilizer from the cows instead on relying on synthetic fertilizers

- We recycle all our water to grow crops for the cows

- Cows up-cycle food byproducts into usable nutrition that would otherwise go to a landfill

Cows are a valuable part of the earths ecology and ecosystems. Many dairy farms today are installing methane digesters- that take cow manure, capture the emissions, and make renewable power. Installing these systems make dairies carbon negative meaning they are taking out more emissions than they are creating.

Over the past few decades, U.S. dairy farmers have been able to reduce their environmental impact by 60%; and dairy farmers continue to strive to be leaders in sustainability. Even while doubling milk production, the number of dairy cows in the U.S. has decreased from 25.6 million cows in 1950 to only 9.4 million today. Doing more with less is a philosophy that has enabled dairy farmers to reduce their environmental “hoofprint” and drive real change in the industry and environment.

Cows are part of the world’s ecological system and dairy farmers have harnessed this biological advantage. The “waste” that cows create is necessary for good soil health. Healthy soil holds more water and provides a richer life for the microbial life of the soil. The manure goes back onto the soil to regrow the grass and other crops that cows eat. The planet needs cows as much as cows need the planet

It should be noted that the methane cows emit stays in the atmosphere for about six years; this means in every year that new methane molecules are added, they’re offset by the expiration of molecules produced in years prior. As long as the number of cows doesn’t drastically increase, this cycle has a net-neutral effect. By contrast, emissions from cars last in the atmosphere over 100 years. So, every idling car is adding emissions that will last for a century.

solarpunkwobbly:

mixbagofholding:
my main criticism of solarpunk is why isn’t it happening
it absolutely is and here’s the wiki we’re building
what exists in terms of community developed sustainable technology
but like any revolutionary social movement it requires active involvement to achieve the change you want to see. Here are some handy resources for getting more involved:
Food Not Lawns- project to help communities feed themselves without capitalism
Food Not Bombs - same idea as above but less emphasis on growing food
The Buy Nothing Project - community resource pooling to combat consumerism
Demand Utopia- Rojava solidarity & social ecology activism - speaking of which, The Internationalist Commune of Rojava have their Make Rojava Green Againproject.
Also, if you want your solarpunk social media then start looking to the decentralised non corporate sunbeam city mastodon instance (blend of tumblr and twitter without your data being sold) where you’ll find shit tonnes of information on making food, growing things, building sustainable technology yourself etc being shared - like this $3 DIY solarpowered USB chargerorthis $30 wind turbine made largely from salvaged parts.
In terms of building online infrastructure to actively combat capitalism, using and helping to develop open-source, community run software & websites like the sunbeam city mastodon instance should be a priority. This is a good alternative to google for searching.
In terms of building real world solarpunk infrastructure as resistance to actively combat capitalism, the organisations linked above are honestly invaluable - especially Food Not Bombs. I’d also add the Industrial Workers of the World (a democratic workers’ union for anyone in the world without hiring/firing power) as well as tenants’ unions - like ACORN in the UK. Finally, find or start a community garden.

No food waste! Did you know nearly a billion people can be fed on the food that is wasted in the UK, the rest of Europe and the USA alone?! Considering 16,000 children die of starvation every minute, this is a horrible statistic. How have we come to the point where our supermarkets are throwing out tonnes of food because they look ‘wonky’ when people are starving elsewhere? It honestly makes me sick.

To do my part, I’ve been experimenting with trying to use up more of the vegetable. I made squash soup the other day so I took all the seeds out and roasted them with a little oil, pepper, paprika and chilli! There was so many seeds that I snacked on them for a week

Share your delicious recipes for using up parts of the vegetable not often eaten below!
