Repurposing wood pallets may be the answer

Sure, weâre pretty stupid at times. There are places in the US right now that are burning trees instead of oil in order to combat climate change. You canât make this shit up.

They look a little leaky 
JK 
Iâm afraid I can. 
Like they are proudly burning biofuel, âlook, weâre using corn instead of oil to safe the environment.â
You canât make this shit up!
Fuck the people, you got to feed your tank, priority number one.
People are starving somewhere? Nah, just do not send any cameras that way and nobody will notice.
Now we have an invisible enemy to combat, it is perfect. Even when you are feeling fine, you are potentially a deadly biological weapon.
And even more people starve because transport of food is not happening and still no cameras so nothing to see here.
Jesus, this is about what supposed to have made me smile.
What does make me smile is the simple fact that the gloves are off, Iâve been waiting for this, the illusion of all that freedom BS is gone.
First step to freedom is realizing that youâre not free.
âFreedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitude.â

Lets hope the multitude wakes the fuck up, now that would make me smile

Google â biochar Basically you use some of the wood to heat other wood in the absence of oxygen and make charcoal (and methanol). That biochar goes into the soil which has a hugely radical beneficial effect. This locks carbon out of the atmosphere (lowers CO2) and the almost infinite surface area inside the charcoal creates a biome for beneficial bacteria and fungi and a place for all that stored plant energy.

Do you know of any places utilizing this method?

Yeah. For thousands of years in the Amazon, and even Native Americans. That search term is -> Terra Preta âŚabsolutely fascinating.

Is that your car, or are you just happy to see cars on the road? 
I feel like Iâm living in the middle of nowhere, itâs dead quiet.
Let me rephrase @natboneâs question, are any of the greedy, rich fuckers that run this planet using this method?
Very interesting btw, thanks. Iâm wondering if you could use it to purify water. Probably can.
In the Biochar Workshop video, the guy says this is still done in certain parts of the world, but you get arrested for doing it where he is. US I gather? It will be the same in the rest of the âcivilizedâ world 
I guess that answers my question about the use of it by the greedy.
That doesnât really surprise me, anything good is never allowed.
Not so long ago, they werenât even allowed to sell Stevia, unless it said on the package that it wasnât suitable for consumption. Iâm not making this shit up.
Now even CocaCola is using it and the Natives want to see some money.
âYou keep all your ingredients secret and now you are using something that weâve been using for thousands of years and claim it for yourself.â
âWe want some turnover, Jack!â 
Fat chance they ever going to see any, thatâs not how it works.

I recently placed a small restock flavor order from a local Australian company (Vapoureyes) and received an email today confirming order has been shipped. This is a transcript (with my real name) of said email that non-Aussies and those Aussies whoâve havenât ordered from VE yet might enjoy. I donât think the âstyleâ is unique to here and pretty sure someone else in the world has similar. Itâs the creativity of the (standard) reply that makes me smile

âHello Barry, we have some great news: your vape mail is on the way! Hereâs how it all went down.â
âThe products you wisely chose were carefully picked from our shelves like delicate berries and placed into a wicker basket lined with the softest rose petals. With the grace of a ballerina, we tiptoed them to our packing station where Santaâs elves, who work for us during their off-season, prepared your order for shipment.â
âWith expert dexterity, each of your items were methodically placed into the shipping box using techniques taught to us by a former Tetris World Champion. Using a pair of fine gold tweezers, we placed dozens of biodegradable packing peanuts (theyâre made of corn and dissolve in water, try it) into every available nook and cranny to ensure safe transport across our sunburnt country.â
âWhen the elves were satisfied that every gap was filled they played a beautiful tune on a ceremonial lyre, summoning a kaleidoscope of trained butterflies who elegantly arranged themselves on the lid of your parcel, closing it gently. As they carefully positioned the final piece of tape to seal your parcel shut a solemn quietness fell upon the elves, and they arranged themselves into an honour guard as your parcel was passed hand-to-hand down the line to be loaded into the waiting Australia Post truck.â
âIn unision they chanted, âvenenya vilyanirwanen nĂĄ quanta as angolingwiâ â we donât speak Elvish but weâre told it means âmay these vaping supplies bring stability and success to Barry for all eternity.â Wow, weâre getting a little choked up ourselves now. Thanks, elves.â
âAs the truck pulled away, a dozen white doves flitted gracefully through the air and a rare double rainbow formed overhead. Thatâs when we knew the products we had lovingly curated were on their way to a better home. Please take care of them, Barry; we promise theyâll take care of you.â
âTo see the status of your divine parcel (including the tracking number) just click the âview shipmentâ button below and the mysteries of the universe will be revealed to you.â
âAnyway, thatâs all from us for now, Barry. Thank you for being our number one all-time favourite customer, and for allowing us to share this magical experience with you.â
Much love,
The Vapoureyes Team

Nativecos.com (all natural body wash, toothpaste, and deodorants for men, women, and teens! Smell GREAT!) does something similar lol the stuff in bold is the funny bit, so hereâs mine:
**********, You Rock!
Headâs up! Due to COVID-19, shipping carriers are experiencing occasional delays for some orders, and orders may take a few more days than usual to get to you.
No need to worry, your order will be processed as soon as possible, and youâll automatically receive shipping updates with tracking as soon as your order is in the mail.
We hope youâre staying safe and healthy, and thanks for your understanding and patience.
And now back to your regularly scheduled contentâŚ
It was just another day at the office when Kelsey jumped out of her chair, so fast that I thought fire had engulfed her hair.
âWe did it!â she yelled. âWe got an order from ******** ********* !â
Brian ran over to her computer, because heâs ordinarily the trouble-shooter.
âDonât get scared,â said Kelsey,
âYouâre not moving with your auntie and uncle to Bel Airâ.
The office erupted in applause
and we popped a bottle of champagne given to me by my in-laws.
âI Like It Like Thatâ blared from Kelseyâs computer, and half-eaten sourdough lay next to our recruiter.
********, the entire Native team is thrilled to have you as a customer.
Your friends will probably start calling you âHealthy ******** â soon. Youâll love it.
After weâre done celebrating your order, youâll receive tracking information so you can get as excited about your delivery as we are. If you have any
questions, shoot me a note at support@nativecos.com.
Health, healing and happiness!
Best,
Julia
A couple days later, I received this one:
*********, Your Order Has Shipped!
Your order of Native was gently pulled by our team of experts and placed on a gold-trimmed pillow stuffed with the finest fibers known to man. Then, a team of six inspectors examined it under a magnifying glass, ensuring it was in perfect condition.
Once the inspection was complete, our veteran polisher (he was previously employed at the Tower of London, where he was responsible for polishing the Queenâs jewels) polished it as a quiet hush fell over the warehouse. âThis package is getting shipped to ****** ,â he whispered. âTake good care of it.â
We hope you had a wonderful time shopping at Native. In celebration, we have placed your name on our wall under the title âWorldâs Best Customerâ and assigned you a dedicated parking spot right upfront. Weâve also hired a pilot to skywrite â. ******* Rocks!â above the Golden Gate Bridge. Thank you for supporting Native!
If you have any questions about your package, please email us at support@nativecos.com.
