Individuals, companies and governments “offset” carbon emissions by paying to plant trees or fund solar panels in one place, so they can emit them elsewhere.

Researchers: Sweden has vast ‘old growth’ forests, but they are being chopped down faster than the Amazon
Most of Europe’s natural ecosystems have been lost over the centuries. However, a sizeable amount of natural old forest still exists, especially in the north.

Philosopher argues that mindfulness rests on dubious philosophical foundations
[Mindfulness's] focus on the individual's attention makes major structural social problems, such as the attention economy, a matter for the individual rather than something that we need to solve together.

How traditional Indigenous education helped four lost children survive 40 days in the Amazon jungle
Indigenous children typically learn from an early age how to open paths through dense vegetation, how to tell edible from non-edible fruits.
