“This year marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most important environmental laws ever passed. The Clean Water Act, which sets water quality standards and requires permits for discharges, was championed by Maine Sen. Edmund Muskie. And one of the big motivators for Muskie? The Androscoggin River, one of the ten most polluted rivers in the country in the 1960s and 1970s that ran through his hometown of Rumford. The river has come a long way in five decades.”
“Back then, Craven said the water was yellow and brown, laden with toxic chemicals from paper mills, sewage treatment plants and farms and so devoid of oxygen that fish and other organisms couldn't survive. The stench of rotten eggs was overwhelming. Peter Rubins of the Grow LA River Working Group also recalls eight-foot drifts of yellow-brown foam at the base of the Great Falls that separate the cities of Lewiston and Auburn.”

Didn’t realize it was the 50th anniversary! Pretty cool to see the awesome healing power of nature at work when it’s respected and allowed to do it’s thing.

Colonialism & conservation are different sides of the same coin. If we’re serious about saving the planet, the #conservation industry must recognize its racist history & the colonial roots from which it sprang. It’s #Indigenous Peoples who are the best conservationists & guardians of the natural world. #DecolonizeConservation #NationalParksWeek #BigGreenLie
A little food production perspective by a Welsh farmer.
All food comes at a cost of life. You can’t really eat food without taking lives in the process. Ironically, plant agriculture tends to result in much greater quantities of wildlife deaths than animal agriculture, as one cow can feed someone for a month while a field of grains may result in the deaths of thousands of rodents, insects, birds, etc. through pesticides, rodenticide etc.
Not saying that one way is better than the other, ethically speaking. Just that it’s impossible to not have death on your hands not matter what food’s on your plate.

If this type of thing appeals to you I highly recommend spending some time up at the Maine Primitive Skills School in Augusta. It’s always well worth it if you’re trying to deepen your connection to nature.

Bill Maher has been the voice of reason for 2 years now
Just one more example of someone speaking about truth and common sense instead of talking about one political side or the other
Don’t fall for political sides in the first place

Cow farts aren’t to blame for climate change, despite what some Netflix documentaries might lead you to believe. In fact, there were much greater numbers of herbivores farting away before humans ever entered the picture. It’s all part of a natural cycle.

Cattle emissions are VERY different than fossil fuel emissions, but you won't read that in the headlines.
This is a clip from my film, Sacred Cow, which is available on Amazon, iTunes, and at sacredcow.info/shop on DVD.

If there’s one takeaway from this past year or so it’s that we have to consider the health of the body as a whole, otherwise we’re just going to have a repeat of this every few years. Luckily on an individual level there’s a lot we can do in this regard, by making simple lifestyle changes such as improving our diet (cutting out junk food and excess carbs), prioritizing sleep, and getting more Natural Movement out in nature.

Rampant inflammatory problems and metabolic dysfunction create poor health. That’s a given. With continuous glucose monitoring, you’re much better able to manage your metabolic health. That’s the topic of my in-depth conversation with @levels co-founder Josh Clemente on Bulletproof Radio episode #797.
When you learn to regulate your blood sugar by changing your behaviors, it gives you more energy back because you're better at using blood sugar to make energy.
This fits into a larger picture of health where improved sleep, nutrition, and fitness can make your body more resilient.

According to a new case report published in BMC Gastroenterology (by Swedish physician Dr. Peter Martin, a graduate of our ADAPT Practitioner Training Program!), the answer may be “yes”—at least in some people. The study followed six patients with SIBO from Dr. Martin’s clinic who were put on a strict carnivore diet for two to six weeks. The five patients who followed the diet for at least four weeks tested negative for SIBO, and one patient who followed the diet for only two weeks had a significant improvement in her SIBO test results. Since the bacteria that cause SIBO feed on fermentable carbohydrates, it makes sense that a diet that has zero carbohydrates could be effective. It will be interesting to see what happens to these patients after they start eating carbohydrates again.
Check out the full study here: https://bit.ly/3rG3yc6

I love seeing stuff like this! Honestly this kind of thing seems pretty commonplace for folks on the carnivore diet from what I’ve seen. Have an illness that can’t seem to be cured? Try carnivore! Or just want to feel better in general? Carnivore!! I’m lucky I haven’t been diagnosed with any serious illness but carnivore has still helped me feel a lot better in my body, mind, and spirit everyday.
