What if we designed, sourced and built our homes with homegrown materials and resources?

We're very excited to be launching our 'Homegrown Homes for People and Planet' report, supported by the Forestry Commission.

Once every few years, the Namibian desert experiences what is known as the Sandhof lily bloom.

The lily bulbs sit in the clay beneath the desert floor, waiting patiently for years some centimers of rainfall.

I’m an Indigenous woman of Anishinaabe territory, being sued for $4M, facing 1 yr jail for locking to a CAT machine at Mountain Valley Pipeline, which would serve Elbit Systems.

Our peoples will *never* die. We are the land, the land is us. We stand with you, relatives ✊🏽❤️ #IWD

It is beyond insanity that Israel is intensifying its bombing AFTER being taken to world court for genocide.

A rogue psychopath regime.

My statement on the efforts to silence me:
