🌍 Intro to mind gardening: The concept takes the idea of gardening, and applies it to the web of thoughts that cloud your brain "rent free." Instead of passively absorbing random pieces of information while scrolling online, learn how to make your mind a place that you've cultivated based on what you're actually interested in.→ Interview​
​
🌍 Face painting as a form of resistance in the Ecuadorian Amazon: One way the people of Sarayaku foster their connection to the forest is through Wituk painting, in which lines, dots, or intricate designs are applied to the face using the pigment from Wituk fruits. The ancestral practice stems from a legend that says in ancient times, human beings and animals were one; there was no distinction.→ Story​

🌍 Interactive maps and tools to visualize climate science: Probable Futures is a thoughtful global platform to complement your education on the climate crisis. The website is divided like a book, with the first two chapters dedicated to Heat and Water.→ Platform​
