I meant the 600 watt panel/battery/AC inverter kits meant for RVs lol

I think you're thinking breadboard kits for children?

Great game. Makes me realize how much more finicky a worm bin is over my cardboard and fruit lasagna sitting outside.

I can sympathize with you.

My industry is also anti-solarpunk (television and live events) but the skills I've learned along the way would translate well. I use the term "guerrilla TV" a lot because we really do swarm into any location and make it functional for our needs. It would just be neat if live entertainment could be beneficial and green instead of capitalism-driven and wasteful.

This reminds me of every house I built in Minecraft

Do you have recommendations for a beginner solar kit? I am very interested in small project/portable solar and saw Home Depot even had kits these days but didn't know if they were any good...

I'm a sucker for ferns so I'd cover that yard in ferns with walkways throughout.

I can't help with outside of US but Wild Ones and Master Gardener programs are excellent resources.

Not denying the existence of climate change, but it was kind of surprising to find out that our huge winter freeze here in the US didn't kill natives. I live in what is essentailly an urbanized tropical rainforest and it was -15°F and the only plants I lost were the non-natives.

The heat and limited rain, however, is making it hard to keep anything other than some natives that hail from a nearby desert habitat (without watering).

Sure, if you apply it to literally everything, but I meant that it comes in handy when I'm being questioned. The joys of not fitting a stereotype for senior roles in the workplace 🐸

To add on to your comment:

It's also normal for Americans to have a built in water filter in their fridge that also filters ice. But they're expensive so sometimes people just buy a bypass for it that doesn't filter anything.

More recently (last 5-10 years or so) people who want filtered water have began installing filters under their kitchen sink or even filters that install at main water line and filter the whole house. These are quite expensive. But American water quality varies pretty tremendously so it's understandable in some places.

If nothing else it saves gallons of water daily.
