@MariaHitchins You left out where bmw and ac Marriott are now 👴

Development tends to robs us of those once vacant lots like cholera cemetery which is now Fontana Waterloo, that was a road march watch spot, just like Emancipation park use to be a huge dust bowl where the original Jamaica carnival had a massive stage for the bands to cross.

@ja_cynic @5Solae “Beautify “ the area by scraping all the interesting plants moss ect of the rocks paint them white or even better rasta colours. Furthermore bc “gov” never put nuh bin deh ,create a burn pile to keep the place neat, no ppl are expecting to carry there trash away with them

Visiting other islands reinforces. In Jamaica every single beach or river that's posted on Instagram has trash that's left behind by visitors. A natural hidden spot gets discovered in Jamaica and hustling culture says strip all vegetation and build up with concrete

@Gordonswaby @BiggestBarry Every time

@BiggestBarry Somebody is going to respond to you with excuses

Ive been to a few caribbean islands over the last 12 months. Regrettably I have to report that of 4 countries, Jamaicans are by far the nastiest as regards to littering and rubbish. Its cultura. Not economic or lack of infrastructure.

Meanwhile this is my favourite letter from Napoleon to Josephine:

Spaces like this handle the heat naturally, calm, breathable, and built for wellness. Every home deserves this.

@iamcarlenes 🙄 I’ve been told on multiple occasions by more ppl than I’d like to believe that this is a good concept but “they” can’t deal with lizards Can’t understand this lizard aversion

I need to see more spaces like this homes 🏡

@AnnMH2020 @KyleAnthonie The rain isn’t falling in watershed this not going to the catchment areas, the rain “we” are having isn’t being harvested. Diversifying how we get and store water is key. youtu.be/KJPY18AQjeo?si…

@KyleAnthonie My issue is why is the dam level so low now with all this rain? Something is just not making sense.

HOW????

Went down the rabbit hole on this. A firefly spends up to two years underground as a larva, hunting slugs in the dirt. Then it crawls out, grows wings, and gets maybe three weeks as the glowing thing you remember from childhood. Three weeks to find a mate and reproduce. Then it's dead. So when the tweet says "some scientist" warned we're the last generation to see them, that's real. A Belgian firefly researcher named Raphaël De Cock said it, and the clip blew up on TikTok. But I dug into the actual science, and the picture is weirder than the headline. We know of about 2,200 firefly species worldwide. Scientists have studied fewer than 150 of them. That's less than 7%. Of the ones they looked at, about 14% are at risk of extinction. And here's the part that got me: we know so little about more than half the species we've found that scientists can't even tell if they're dying off. If those mystery species are disappearing at the same rate, 1 in 3 North American fireflies could be in trouble. We might be losing species nobody's even properly named yet. A major 2024 study by Penn State, the University of Kentucky, and Bucknell examined 24,000 citizen surveys across the eastern U.S. The number one thing killing fireflies turned out to be weather and climate shifts. Their larvae need wet soil to survive those two years underground. Too dry, they die. Too flooded, they drown. The second biggest killer: artificial light. Night skies are getting about 10% brighter every year. A quarter of Earth's land is now lit up at night. And fireflies talk to each other with light. Their whole mating system runs on flashing patterns in the dark. Flood that with streetlights and porch lights, and the signal disappears. This isn't abstract. In Hong Kong, one firefly species lived along 1.8 kilometers of a single hiking trail. Street lamps went up in 2018 and 2019. The population is gone. Critically Endangered now. In Delaware, the Bethany Beach firefly exists in a few tiny salt marshes, and coastal construction is eating them up. But your common backyard lightning bug, the one called Photinus pyralis, is fine. Ben Pfeiffer, who runs Firefly Conservation and Research, said it straight: "We won't be the last generation to see fireflies." What's actually vanishing is the variety. The weird ones. The specialists. They get replaced by the one tough generalist that can survive anywhere. One last thing that stuck with me. A firefly turns chemical energy into light at about 41% efficiency, with almost zero heat lost. Our best LEDs just recently hit about 40%. We spent decades of engineering to match what a beetle worked out 100 million years ago. And we're blinding them with the lights we built to copy them.

How does the @JamaicaConstab @darylvazmp tackle this? 🤔 Imagine if one could upload photos & videos to an app and receive a small percentage of the money from the ticket issued against the license plate of the offender.

@bujsha What do you mean by proper botanical garden?

When was the last time you went to HG? Im there almost every other weekend and the place does get full. Especially on Sundays. Ppl literally keep church there. Side note, when are they going to fix the entrance!!!!!

@ProdxnGoodie Elevate not evaluate

NWC really nuh suppose to have nuh water restriction wid the amount a rain we've been having, yet here they are announcing restrictions.

@davidmullings youtu.be/a0nAX0Ehooo?si…

Feasible in the Caribbean. Vision is the problem.

@davidmullings youtu.be/yT0Oms8Fub4?si…

@davidmullings Lack thereof 👨‍🦯‍➡️, been told by many including developers, realtors ect .. who going maintain that? What about leaves & drainage? LIZARDS 🙄. Sprinkle of sarcasm “when ppl move to a city they don’t want to feel like they’re rural” 🙃

@mamachell youtu.be/a0nAX0Ehooo?si…

Oh

@mamachell youtu.be/5-Ix5Disvzk?si… Was told by a realtor (sprinkle of sarcasm) when ppl move from rural to a city they don’t want to feel like they in rural..after i complained about the lack of biophilic designs in all the new developments

I’m am baffled by the fact that most Jamaicans take pride in keeping their houses and yards clean. Bathe at least twice a day but still throw their garbage through the window of their vehicles , litter the beach or river they visit…. Yuh still a nasty mf! do better man !
