"Modern civilisation has a number of extremely delicate and highly interconnected components whose graceful degradation is effectively impossible."

It is "much easier to break things than to build them up. The government administrations of Britain, France and Germany for example, were set up at a time in the nineteenth century when the rising middle classes demanded a properly functioning state[…]. It took perhaps a generation for professional, neutral public services to fully emerge."

"Forty years of globalised neoliberalism have broken our societies, our economies and our political systems, and we no longer have the ability to put them back together."

790 #ClimateSolutions #Solar #IsItWorthTheTrouble

Sometimes I get very, very annoyed with my fellow countrymen 🇳🇱 when it comes to solar !
Money seems to be [have been] the primary goal for solar.
Should that goal not have been to contribute to the solution to the #ClimateEmergency.
#Mitigation, the ultimate solution.

"Apr 13, 2025
Rooftop solar PV is THE best way to reduce your household energy bills (alongside good insulation of course!). But the technology is woefully underutilised on a global basis, especially in regions that have the best sunshine, like Africa. Now a new report has crunched some numbers and calculated the climate mitigation potential of all those unused roofs around the world. And it's quite the impact!"

Long COVID is a collection of symptoms you might experience after your initial, acute Covid-19 infection.
Long COVID is any medical condition linked to a Covid-19 infection, that goes on for 3 months or longer.

It can happen whether you had a mild or severe case of Covid-19.

There are over 200 symptoms currently associated with long COVID. At the mask bloc we will be posting about how to recognize long COVID and offering our support and resources.
The most common symptoms are: fatigue, shortness of breath, loss of or altered sense of smell or taste, brain fog, chronic cough, headaches, difficulty sleeping, depression, anxiety, chest pain, heart palpitations, and diarrhea.

Most research finds that 30% of COVID patients develop Long COVID. So every time you get infected, you will have a 30% chance of chronic symptoms.

This is a novel condition so researchers are still working hard to find a cure.
Since there is no cure, the only line of defense we have is to mitigate against the original virus. Check out our other posts for more in-depth information!
