Sometimes I think Americans are trying to develop type 3 diabetes.





Alright, help me design something. As we design a Humming Meadow pollinator flower seed mixture to sell, we're considering Common Milkweed (A. syriaca) which is an elite nectar source for bees and host for monarchs but it spreads aggressively by underground rhizome and could colonize a meadow, crowding slower natives. I am a huge fan of it and it hasn't taken over our field but could be something to watch. Thoughts? Leave it or keep it in the commercial pollinator mix?






‘THE ODYSSEY’ jumped up to 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. One of the highest rated blockbusters of the decade. Read our review: bit.ly/OdysseyDF


I went on a deep dive after seeing this comment because I decided I didn’t know that much about Chinese nuclear power plants… I had no clue there are legit Chinese nuclear power plants that release WAY higher annual amounts of tritium in their routine wastewater than Fukushima’s ALPS treated water discharge. I guess Fukushima just stands out because of the accident in 2011, but even with that data apparently China’s rapidly expanding nuclear program is still contributing more to ongoing tritium discharges into the ocean because of the routine operations from it’s dozens of plants. Also, Fukushima’s ALPS treated discharges and China’s routine releases from plants are still considered safe under IAEA guidelines though at least, but its still kinda crazy to me that Fukushima catches soooo much flak in public eye still. “Chinese nuclear power plants have been releasing into the ocean water containing tritium at levels up to 6.5 times higher than the annual amount scheduled to be released from Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc.’s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, according to a document the Japanese government compiled for other countries ahead of TEPCO’s discharge. Chinese state media regularly condemn the planned release. Chinese Communist Party organ, People’s Daily, quoted an official saying, “Japan’s plan is not the country’s private matter, but a major issue that has an effect on the global marine environment and public health.” However, a Japanese government official said Beijing does not have agreements with neighboring countries on the release of tritium from Chinese nuclear power plants, nor has it provided any explanations about the matter.” Anyways, I just thought this information was interesting enough to share since there seems to be a double standard in the media regarding Fukushima sometimes, feels a bit undeserved, tbh. 😊 Source ☢️: japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/world/asia-pac…


@NeiCao83022 @katahira_mana 原子力発電所の排水において、汚染水を垂れ流しているのは、福島原発の方ではなく中国の原子力発電所です。 建物からも放射線量を計測できていますから、日常的に曝露しているには中国人ですね。
