• Earth is exceeding its "safe operating space for humanity" in six out of nine key measurements, including #climate, #biodiversity, and land health.
• The oceans' acidity, #airquality, and ozone layer health are the only factors within safe boundaries, but #pollution levels for both air and water are increasing.
• Cleaning up land and saving forests could be one of the most effective ways to combat #climatechange, according to computer simulations.

Practising Permacomputing: Call for workshop participants
"This autumn is dedicated to Practising Permacomputing; a concept and a nascent community of practice-oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in computer and network technology derived, among others, from permaculture principles. As part of this community, space is offered to makers and thinkers in digital culture (and other connected areas) to put the fundamentals and applications of #permacomputing into practice through a series of workshops, a meetup, and a concluding day of public presentations with guests. Join us to explore permacomputing futures!"
