hello!

Does anyone in the P.N.W (Washington or Oregon preferably) grow organic catnip and have extra ? (or know someone who does?)

Every package at pet-co said the catnip inside came from, or was packed in china. i’m sure china is nice but i don’t think the catnip needs to take such a big vacation before it gets to the kitties.

I’m looking for fairly large amounts : i will be making toys to donate for shelter cats

will trade for store credit or willing to buy from a reliable source

i grow organic catnip myself (and live in Washington) but only have one container of it and not sure it would be enough for your needs. maybe one of my followers knows a source/can help out?

california anti-drought measures are always like “take shorter showers! consider brushing your teeth with the sink turned off” and never mention the fact that nestle is bottling all of our fucking water and selling it to people who live in areas with plenty of water

It’s like the Irish potato “famine” I stg

In California, residential use only accounts for 4% of total water use. Industrial use is 80%.

This is true of any resource. Yes turning your lights off will save you a but of money. But industry wastes far more electricity than you. Yes recycling your garbage is good. But companies, like the retail chain i work at produce far more garbage than you ever could and do not recycle it at all.

Turning natural resource and environmental crises into individual responsibility is form of class warfare so fucking insidious

Honestly just burn every company to the ground or cut them off from electricity and water systems

Tax them heavily for their usage
Make recycling mandatory or theyre fined
Oh im sorry am i stepping all over your precious free market
I hope to choke it out

Word

“Part of the problem is that we’ve been victims of a campaign of systematic misdirection. Consumer culture and the capitalist mindset have taught us to substitute acts of personal consumption (or enlightenment) for organized political resistance. An Inconvenient Truth helped raise consciousness about global warming. But did you notice that all of the solutions presented had to do with personal consumption—changing light bulbs, inflating tires, driving half as much—and had nothing to do with shifting power away from corporations, or stopping the growth economy that is destroying the planet?

Or let’s talk water. We so often hear that the world is running out of water. People are dying from lack of water. Rivers are dewatered from lack of water. Because of this we need to take shorter showers. See the disconnect? Because I take showers, I’m responsible for drawing down aquifers? Well, no. More than 90 percent of the water used by humans is used by agriculture and industry. The remaining 10 percent is split between municipalities and actual living breathing individual humans….People (both human people and fish people) aren’t dying because the world is running out of water. They’re dying because the water is being stolen.” – Derrick Jensen (author & environmentalist)

Man I love how that one post up there changed, “While it is crucial for residents to stop wasting water on the utterly useless tasks of car washing and lawn watering, ‘residential use in California is about 4 percent,’ Redman told me. ‘Eighty percent is for agriculture.’” to “Industrial use is 80%” 

Way to completely misrepresent the situation. Industrial and commercial use is 9 million acre feet, as opposed to 34 million acre feet going to agriculture alone.

Oh I should, once again, mention that the entire US bottled water market in 2008 sold 26,392 acre feet of water.

Nobody hears a car alarm and thinks, “Oh that car is being stolen”. It’s just an annoying sound that we want to stop.

we want the car to be stolen faster
