One Tesla Model S contains as much lithium as 10,000 mobile phones. To extract the 67 tons of copper in a single wind turbine, miners move 50,000 tons of earth and rock. (source)

Things we should have learned in school but didn't
Possible most importantly, school should teach how to overcome fears:
-
Here is one way to meet with nature, and feel a connection - but it's not accessible to most
-
100 year old rhododendron and the woman who planted it.
Lovely story, right? The "Fact checkers" don't think so, and say it is "decontextualized".

Towards fungal computer - by Andrew Adamatzky
We propose that fungi Basidiomycetes can be used as computing devices: information is represented by spikes of electrical activity, a computation is implemented in a mycelium network and an interface is realized via fruit bodies. In a series of scoping experiments, we demonstrate that electrical activity recorded on fruits might act as a reliable indicator of the fungi’s response to thermal and chemical stimulation. A stimulation of a fruit is reflected in changes of electrical activity of other fruits of a cluster, i.e. there is distant information transfer between fungal fruit bodies. In an automaton model of a fungal computer, we show how to implement computation with fungi and demonstrate that a structure of logical functions computed is determined by mycelium geometry.
Academics are making 'intelligent buildings' with the help of fungi - The Centre for Unconventional Computing is using fungal colonies in surprising ways.

To supplement basic provisions provided by their master, some bondpeople grew their own foodstuffs and staple crops for personal consumption or sale. Enslaved men and women typically tended these gardens or "patches" after they had finished their daily or weekly work for their master. For some slaves, these gardens provided crucial supplements to an otherwise nutrient-deprived diet.
