Plants need phosphorus, and other nutrients, to grow. But soil tests can’t tell if there’s too much.

"[M]eeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

A PieFed commuity dedicated to promoting sustainability and sustainable development.

For discussion of environmental, climate, clean energy, social, political, and individual action. A place for news, education, questions, and discussions.

Rules:

Don’t be a dick.
If it fits an UN Sustainable Development Goal, it’s probably welcome.
Links to articles should leverage the original article title. Minor edits in [square brackets] for clarity/to reduce clickbait are probably fine.
We all know corporations & governments are the main problem, and collective action + legislation is the best path forward. That said, someone needs to show support for a more sustainable market - to that end, discussion of individual action is encouraged, and “whatabout big oil” comments in posts about individual action may be removed with prejudice. You’re not wrong, but see rule 1.

Not really a rule per se, more of a request: if the article has “Trump” or “Musk” in the title, consider posting it in a USA/Political community to help keep this space focused on sustainability over clickbait political headlines. Political posts are allowed, but discussion should prioritize policies over personalities.
