Earth Rangers' Bonfire Night
Earth Rangers learning about the environment is wonderful - we love thinking about West African young people learning to create a cleaner, better world. Seeing them make folere - a local herbal drink with hibiscus, pineapple, lemongrass and ginger? Oh yes. The future in that corner of the world would appear to be in very good hands!

Three Young Boletus
The mycology buffs were not disappointed this week, and treated to some magnificent wild-foraged boletus for #fungifriday. So much to learn about the amazing fungi and mushrooms of the world - following @qwerrie would be a great start if you want to learn.

Recycling for Profit: 25 Recent Items Found for Free and Sold for UDS $2000
We continue to be inspired and amazed at what @steemmatt finds, cleans, fixes, repurposes and SELLS. This guy is not only keeping a huge volume of 'stuff' out of landfill, he's got a whole, healthy and substantial revenue stream from it! Can you believe what people throw away?
@porcheberry
Glyphosate
This post, with a video & comprehensive citations, is a concise sharing of information about this insidious, global poison is really important stuff for ANYone and EVERYone. Glyphosate is one of the incredibly harmful toxins not just for Mother Earth, but for our bodies, our children and our microbiome. A must read, must share.

Let Medicine Be Thy Food: Evening Primrose
Moonlighting from his almost full-time gig as interviewer for the Tribe LOL, @senorcoconut shares with us about the "weed" which has reappeared in his garden, which turns out to be none-other than the amazing Evening Primrose. This post shows so perfectly the intersection and overlap between homesteading, ecotrain and natural medicine!
@jasper-williams
What's In Your Water & Why Does It Matter To Your Cannabis?
This question popped up in this post, in the created/ecotrain feed the same week that the Thai government had to destroy most of the seized cannabis they were using for their first legal batch of 10,000 bottles of CBD oil - because it tested positive for extreme levels of dangerous pesticides! Know your cannabis - what strain, what you're using it for and how it was grown.

Making Do: Mending & Repairing a Hand-held Fan
The best thing we can do for ourselves, and Mother Earth, is to become more aware of what we have, how we use it and to optimize its function, lifespan and usage. @minismallholding shows us how a simple repair to her hand-held fan is down, and how it's the daily small gestures which change the world.
@zen-art
Nature vs Nurture
Loving to see @zen-art back on the @ecotrain with a superb post about Oxytocin - that hormonal Glue that keeps human interaction magical and happening.

The Beauty That Surrounds: A Celebration Of The Olive Tree
Closing out this edition of Nuggets with a post about the sheer wonder and majesty and grace of an ancient Olive tree, who looks like she was here before God was. Glorious to just pause and consider all the beauty and sacred energy which surrounds and inspires us.
