Centralia, Pennsylvania, United States, abandoned section of Pennsylvania Route 61 above a coal seam fire. The abandoned section has been nicknamed the Graffiti Highway since its surface was almost completely covered by graffiti during the 2010s.
The same road section eight years earlier in 2008 with significantly less graffiti: File:A264, Centralia, Pennsylvania, USA, damaged highway above coal mine fire, 2008.JPG

"The guide will use kinship clusters, and other Indigenous forms of classification, rather than western taxonomy. Ernestine Hayes, who is a Tlingit professor and author in Juneau, recommended using an Indigenous way of categorizing the field guide, rather than a western taxonomy, which divides things by Insect, Bird, and so on. Instead it will use ‘Kinship Clusters’, divided into group of 7-10 species which share relationships with each other, and rely on each other to survive."

But in Deep Time Reckoning: How Future Thinking Can Help Earth Now, Vincent Ialenti argues that training our brains to think further out, which he calls “long-termism,” can benefit ourselves and the planet. To make his case, he highlights the work of Finnish nuclear waste experts, who have spent years considering the Earth’s past and its many possible futures in order to make a safety case for their final nuclear waste disposal site, buried deep underground beneath the Finnish coastline. https://edgeeffects.net/vincent-ialenti/
