Faces of the insurrection, the American High treason story. #cannavist #FreedomOfSpeech #420 #710 #cannabis #Apparel #t_shirts #tshirts #hoodies #hoodiegang #cannabiscommunity #growflowers #savethebees #cannavist™️ #ClimateChange #EarthFirst #NoWarWithUkraine #I_Stand_Wth_The_Ukraine #mmj #bigdabs #drdabberxs #NeverForgetJanuary6th what I phoned really surprising is that three states are democratic states. But the largest amount of the criminals comes from Texas and Florida, and California. To governors the governor of Texas, Greg, Abbott and the governor of Florida Ron DeSantis has declared war on the United States. They are pushing to put liberals in prison, for no reason whatsoever. And before all you conservatives get all pissy, I’m not a fan of Biden, either who is the author of the crime bill that put more people in jail for using cannabis. But if you support somebody that committed treason that automatically makes you a traitor yourself.

Dave Foreman, who advocated for, wrote about and fought for wild nature his entire adult life, died at 74 on Sept. 19 in New Mexico, where he lived. He left an enormous legacy of work and writings, and  had a major impact on the modern environmental movement over the course of half a century.

After working for, and becoming fed up with, the Washington DC-based wilderness groups, he and several people including Mike Roselle, Howie Wolke, Susan Morgan and others, co-founded Earth First! in 1980. This deliberately radical, direct action environmental group would go on to change the face of environmental advocacy.

Foreman laid out his intentions in a 1981 article for Progressive magazine—in order to set a radical philosophical and tactical tone that would avoid the pitfalls of compromise, the Earth First! co-founders crafted an agenda of throwing the blankets off the conservatism of mainstream groups like the Sierra Club, to bring “vigor, enthusiasm and joy” to the tired environmental movement, to provide a “productive fringe,” inspire acts “straight from the pages of The Monkeywrench Gang, and fight with uncompromising passion for Mother Earth.”

Foreman published the book, Ecodefense: A Field Guide to Monkeywrenching, in 1985—a how-to manual that created an uproar and probably contributed to Dave being arrested by the FBI in 1989. Undercover agents set up a group of activists in the desert of Arizona with equipment, funding and encouragement in an act of sabotage to a transmission tower delivering power to the Central Arizona Project,  bringing water to the lawns and golf courses of Phoenix. Dave was not part of these actions, but was charged with conspiracy nonetheless because of his notoriety and the Ecodefense book, which undercover agent Michael Fain bought a signed copy of from him. This case of the “Arizona 5,” was the first of what later became known as The Green Scare.

Documents revealed in court included a recording of Fain saying “(Foreman) isn’t really the guy we need to pop – I mean in terms of an actual perpetrator. This is the guy we need to pop to send a message. And that’s all we’re really doing… Uh-oh! We don’t need that on tape! Hoo boy!”

Foreman was a controversial figure. He could be a crusty sob, and was not always enlightened socially, particularly in his views surrounding immigration and pandemics, but he was one of the most motivating orators and passionate people to speak out on behalf of other species. He didn’t coin the term biocentrism, but he turned countless people on to the concept by way of thinking outside the anthropocentric box. Dave had the style of a preacher, and his religion was biocentrism; his church, the wild outdoors.

Dave and Earth First! parted ways into its second decade, and he went on to found the Wildlands Network in 1991 and the Rewilding Institute in 2003, both with a mission of identifying, restoring and protecting wildlife habitat and corridors.  

But as one of Dave’s closest friends said to me in 2021, after Dave’s partner Nancy died, “In the end, I think we old EF!ers all share nearly all of the most important goals, even if our styles were different.” True, that.

Dave’s proposal for a statement of principles of the nascent Earth First! in 1980 defined his ideas:

Wilderness has a right to exist for its own sake

All life forms, from virus to the great whales, have an inherent and equal right to existence

Humankind is no greater than any other form of life and has no legitimate claim to dominate Earth

Humankind, through anthropocentrism, industrialization, excessive energy consumption/resource extraction, state capitalism, father-figure hierarchies, imperialism, pollution and natural area destruction, threatens the basic life processes of Earth.

All human decisions should consider Earth first, humankind second

The only true test of morality is whether an action, individual, social or political, benefits Earth

Humankind will be happier, healthier, more secure, and more comfortable in a society that recognizes humankind’s true biological nature and which is in dynamic harmony with the total biosphere

Political compromise has no place in the defense of Earth

Earth is Goddess and the proper object of human worship

He went on to further define his ideas and explain his perspective on the environmental movement’s history, biocentric philosophy and wilderness defense strategy in his autobiography, Confessions of an Eco-Warrior, published in 1991. He also published Rewilding North America: A Vision for Conservation in the 21st Century in 2004 and wrote or co-authored several other books.

2022 Biopolymer Films Market - Regional Revenue, Trend and Growth Forecast-2028

Driven by their ability to decompose quickly without producing any toxic compounds, biopolymer films have gained substantial traction in recent times. Robust economic growth, rising disposable incomes, and constantly changing lifestyles have significantly accelerated the culture of packaged food. Over the years, this has resulted in increasingly mounting consumer demand for sustainable and renewable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. In addition, escalating product integration across various industry verticals, including medical and pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, agriculture, home and personal care, and many more, is likely to strengthen the biopolymer films market outlook in the years ahead.

The extensive use of biopolymer-based packaging films can be attributed to government regulations pertaining to current ecological concerns towards minimizing the use of single-use plastics and reducing the harmful emissions and carbon footprint. They are widely used across the medical and pharmaceutical sector for covering, isolation, and contact inhibition of patients, along with executing contamination-free diagnostic procedures in the hospital and clinical settings. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of global food chains like Subway, McDonald's, Burger King, etc., is expected to increase the biopolymer films market share in the times to come.

Request for Sample Copy of this Report @ https://www.gminsights.com/request-sample/detail/205

As per recent research by Global Market Insights Inc., the global biopolymer films market size is slated to exceed USD 7 billion by 2028.

Listed ahead are some noteworthy trends facilitating industry growth.

Rising demand for polylactic acid (PLA) films

Polylactic acid, a biodegradable plant-based plastic, has been driving significant revenues for the last few years, driven by the increased product adoption across a broad spectrum of applications ranging from clothing to packaging to upholstery.

In addition, changing consumer buying preference toward responsibly produced environmentally products and escalating efforts by key industry players to harness this growing potential of the rapidly expanding customer base could boost the biopolymer films market forecast.

To cite an instance, in September 2022, LG Chem and ADM signed an MoU to examine US-based production of polylactic acid and lactic acid to meet constantly rising demand for an expansive variety of bioplastics and other plant-based products. The move will help LG Chem extend its abilities to satisfy the growing requirements for responsibly-produced products.

Growing popularity of bio-based biopolymer

Bio-based materials cater to a proliferating global demand for sustainable films having a more positive environmental impact than petroleum-based films. There has been a significant rise in product consumption across the food and beverages industry for the prolonged preservation of food items. Since these films are made of sustainable materials, they have streamlined end-of-life disposal, which reduces the global dependency on fossil fuels and advocates the green and sustainable approach to food production.

Driven by these benefits, in October 2022, Indian scientists invented a non-toxic, environmentally friendly, biodegradable polymer using chitosan and guar gum. The fabricated bio-based film has high mechanical strength, water stability, and superior resistance to extreme environmental conditions and can be used in several packaging applications.

Portfolio expansion remains the key growth strategy

With the continuously accelerating adoption of sustainable films and increasing packaging traditions across the globe, industry participants are focusing on progressing their product offerings with improved characteristics and properties. With a similar intent, in December 2022, Earthfirst® Biopolymer Films by PSI came up with industrial and home compostable overwrap films, which are both high performance and sustainable. The product can compost into organic, safe, and natural substances and has a positive environmental impact.

#Repost • @gurl.lost *sigh* Bend, OR you’re pretty awesome. Still on cloud nine from probably one of the best weekends of 2021. If you caught our stories, you would’ve seen that @visitbend sent me and @thirsty.wanderer to take on the @bendaletrail 🍃 (A trail of 30 breweries throughout Bend.) One of our stops was at @worthybrewing ~ a sustainable, solar-powered brewery that puts “Earth first, then beer second.” My type of motto 😉🌎 This brewery also had an observatory on sight. How cool is that?? It’s not everyday that you get to drink beer while setting your sights on Saturn and Jupiter 🪐 #bendaletrail #bendor #bendbeer #oregonbeer #earthfirst #girkswhodrinkbeer https://www.instagram.com/p/CUVHVDZpsCW/?utm_medium=tumblr
