☀️Solar energy grants Fourteen Native American tribes will receive funding for solar energy projects, through the Solar for All, the greenhouse gas reduction federal grant. All sixty selected applicants submitted detailed plans to receive funding, which required strategic implementation to create clean energy, affordable housing and provide many well paying jobs in their respective communities. A key component to receiving funding necessitated residential solar rooftop installations and solar storage solutions.
🌿Plants to the rescue Animals in nature use some plants as medicines. Aristotle, Pliny and many other ancient humans across the globe observed animals using plants over 2,000 years ago. They noted plants that animals used: wild oregano, wild artichokes, wild garlic, olive and bay leaves to heal from illness, poisoning or attacks. It’s known as animal self-medication.
Plant medicines are used widely by groups of humans who are more attuned to nature all over the Earth. For example, a medicine system with origins in the Indian, called Ayurveda uses aloe, turmeric, pepper, and ginger. Indigenous people from North and South Americas use yarrow, echinacea, garlic, cannabis, ginseng,goldenseal, honeysuckle, sage, mint and many more plants to heal from illness, poisoning and to destress.
👍Restoring native lands When someone rises to benefit many, they should be thanked. AGREEN1 officially thanks Mrs Shepard and his team for 20+ years of agroforestry in Wisconsin. According to the Modern Farmer article, Mark pioneered a new way to cultivate the land called agriculture. This system is based on thriving ecosystems on land that was decimated by industrial farming. Because he gives a damn about the Earth, he now offers tours of his New Forest Farm in Wisconsin.
