While watching this beautiful documentary, I noticed that the solar panel fields featured are being mowed (most likely by a fuel powered large mowing machine). An alternative management of the fields would be to allow the fields to become native plant habitats for local insect communities to find the resources they need to live and survive. This is being done in some communities already with great success. You may look into (I'm not related or have a financial interest in the business) a brand new business which provides wildflower sod to use when turning lawns and fields into native plant habitats.

This is one of the best and most comprehensive articles I've seen on this in a long time. Too much else ends up snatching our attention away from the life or death effort to save a livable, cleaner planet.
Remember while we wait for Sun Day there is another safe, silent, but strong at-home and about-town way to cut pollution and send a message to the dominating corporations: This is the first day of the economic blackout dubbed Blackout the System, from September 16 to 20. The media won't cover it, but if it makes a dent in their bottom lines the billionaires will care. Encourage your friends, as consumers, to show our power by not spending money at major retailers and chain stores. Do instead use small local businesses, family owned businesses and farmers' markets. You might find some new favorites and send a message with your $... or lack of it pouring into their pockets. For those already protesting, writing and calling representatives and engaging in other forms of active resistance this is an easy add.

Bill, is there a way to read "The Other Cheek" now? I love it so much and want to find it again.
Huge gratitude for all you do, and the way you do it! I've been part of the happy team making the "Sun Day Wool" tapestry, and have it in my studio now in the process of finishing up the final sewing. I'm delivering it to Albany Friday to be displayed for SUN DAY on Sunday. in admiration and gratitude, Joan Grubin - Third Act Upstate New York
You can even fly on sunlight. Solar Impulse flew around the world on sunbeams, and this adventurer in Switzerland has broken that flight's altitude record.
The Los Angeles City Council is preparing a resolution for this coming Friday, September 19, to celebrate Sun Day and the city's commitment they made to achieving 100% clean renewable energy by 2035. I heard you were in the area on the 18th and 19th.
The presentation to me on behalf of my group, will likely be in the morning at the start of their meeting in City Council chambers on 200 N. Spring St., Los Angeles. Do you want to come and say a few words?

So excited for Sun Day with Third Act Upstate New York in Albany!
Thank you Bill for all you do, always a fantastic read and I always look forward to getting the email updates.
I would like to point out that there are the occasional typos and maybe you need a proof reader.
I realize your schedule is extremely busy but it would lift the image slightly of the newsletters.
Thank you again for all you and your team do.
I contribute wherever I can.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
