What others have mentioned here, plus seagrass and kelp. There is a lot of recovery to do of these once massive ecosystems, thus a lot of carbon to tie up.

Yes, analogous to drug companies emphasizing treatment over cure.

Fortunately, we also educate each other daily through casual and professional encounters, so we can work towards a culture that appreciates education.

I argue the tag is more obscure to a noob than an emoji.

An upside-down smiley face means nothing to you?

Or, like, you know, they got bumped and it’s get a hotel or fly another airline.

One shitpost meme video in your downloads folder = hundreds of Word docx files. Pick the low hanging fruit.
