The Value of Local Knowledge

A substack about Local (place-based) knowledge

Please allow me to re-share my rough sketch of some advanced carbon capture technology

a cartoon with two panels

panel one is a stick figure saying "oh! a fossil fuel!!" standing above a crudely drawn black lump under a brown ground

Panel two is them walking away and saying "I'll just leave it there"

The head of the person is not a drawn circle but the letter O, because the random software I used to draw it did that for unexplained reasons
