Pay attention PA!

In the past year, Pennsylvanians have experienced a tsunami of data center proposals. The known impacts of the data centers themselves, as well as those of the fossil fuel and nuclear infrastructure necessary to power them, are profound. Additional impacts are being identified as research struggles....

Japanese Knotweed stir fry time and more on “invasives”! Do you eat your dandelions? The flowers & leaves are delicious in salads. Be sure you harvest in areas that are not sprayed! Right Deborah Brenneman-Coles?! And BTW, please remind us of the upcoming amazing Native Plant event in Monroeville Park !

Thoughts? How will the community of Monroeville and communities in this region of Southwest PA and the workd be engaged in this process?

Walmart hasn’t said much about its plans for Monroeville Mall in Pennsylvania. But its partner has told some store owners that the mall will be demolished for a mixed-use development.

Remembering to listen. To BE. To behold the wonders of nature. We Are Nature! ❤️🙏🏻💗☮️

When a crow feels sick, it doesn’t reach for medicine.
It doesn’t run from Nature.
It leans into it.

The crow will find an anthill, spread its wings wide, and wait as ants crawl over its body.
To us, it might look strange—even dangerous.
But the crow knows better.

The ants release formic acid, a natural antiseptic that clears away bacteria, fungi, and parasites.
No pills.
No pharmacy.
Just instinct, and the healing intelligence of the living world.

And maybe that’s the real lesson.
We’ve been taught to see Nature as something hostile, a force to guard against or conquer.
But the crow reminds us of another truth:
Nature is not our enemy.
It is our oldest ally.
One that knows how to heal, if only we remember how to listen.
