Amazon Restore is one that I'll be watching from now on!

Is a fruitarian someone who only eats fruit?

Yes.

Do these people exist?

Yes, though not many of them as far as I know.

Do they have normal bathrooms?

Most probably poop outside or in a bucket, at least if their situation allows.

The bill also exempts agriculture and cattle ranching from environmental licensing. Ranchers will still need authorization to deforest but won’t have to present studies showing how much water they will collect from the streams, where they will dispose of their waste or how much wood they will take from that area. “We have strong indications that deforestation will increase a lot,” Crisostomo said.

As this scales up, a lot of would-be mulch will need to be used. It will be necessary to compost the plates and such after use in order to return the nutrients to the soil. Otherwise, this won't be sustainable. Not a problem unique to this, of course.

Experiences like that are worth remembering. :)

Never heard of those dogwood fruits, but sounds like something that I would eat if I ever found it growing. Cool that you were able to educate those folks!

I have even heard tell of a pawpaw that tasted like durian, but I cannot verify that claim.

No reason to stop at vacant lots. Parks, hiking trails, cleared areas in their native forests...

Deforestation is part of it. With continued climate change, such drought or flood events will only get more and more frequent outside of the equatorial region, with the most severe adverse weather events expected between 30°N and 60°N. The ocean will buffer the UK a bit from temperature extremes, but the inherent seasonality of the climate will still result in large variations in both temperature and precipitation. The temperature of the Atlantic Ocean is a major influence as well.

I could have told you that. And I would have, if I had the funding.

I'd be interested to know how they turn out!

All solid choices by the sound of it. I'll need to read up on loquat some more.

How fortunate that you experienced an abundance of fruit at an early age!

To the native animals who currently live there, all humans are rich fucks.

A study published in April zeroed in on antibiotics specifically and found similar results. Researchers used a model to estimate contamination across the world’s rivers based on the annual human consumption of the 40 most-used antibiotics, including ceftriaxone, cefixime and amoxicillin (anyone who has had a bacterial infection has probably heard of this one). They found that 8,500 tons of antibiotics leach into the world’s river system, with the potential of reaching the ocean. This number doesn’t include contamination from manufacturers or the agricultural industry.

Bold part is interesting considering that animal agriculture uses about 70% of all antibiotics produced (80% in the USA) and probably a similar fraction of vaccines. But I suppose that no one really wants to hear about that.

Two years... If I waited that long, it would be a disaster! Glad it works for you though!

Too much fruit is never really too much! Plant your own, grow your own, harvest your own, and share...

I don't grow blueberries, but I've seen videos of high-bush cultivars in the UK, and they certainly looked prolific and easy to manage. From what I've heard/read, I imagine that they would do well in poor, acidic, sandy soil like in pine forests. Is that the kind of soil that you have?

You are not the first to answer blackberries, and I just wonder, do blackberries not grow out of control in other places? Sure they're easy to keep alive once established, but to actually keep them manageable, is there not a lot of pruning required?

(Asian pears are awesome, by the way. The fruit, anyway. Tried it once, and it puts the common pears to shame.)

Spooky due to the blood-stained insides?

I used to have

mast year every year

Did your tree live fast and die young?
