Grumbo Month Day 2. First I Saw "music" Then "alternative Universe", Then I Said "huh, Bet".

This has been something I've been concerned about for a long time. Not only are rocket emissions polluting our atmosphere, but residual space junk is starting to clog the space around our planet. Every tiny piece of metal and plastic that floats off into space can potentially destroy a future attempt to leave the planets surface. We are nailing our own coffin shut while trying to escape it. The universe is nature too! We need to try and keep it clean or else we will be as helpless as fish born into a polluted pond. We're already poisoning our planet, can we not poison space too?

How satellite space junk is adversely affecting the stratosphere?

Satellite space junk is polluting the stratosphere as disintegrating satellites release metals like aluminium and nitrogen oxides during re-entry. Studies show 10% of stratospheric aerosols now contain these metals, with emissions rising sharply - 3.3 billion grams in 2020 to 5.6 billion grams in 2022. Rocket launches further add pollutants like black carbon and chlorine gases, threatening ozone.

Reflection Farm Diary

So Spring 8 got off to a very weird start....

Firstly, it's raining today! Which means for once I don't have to water my crops manually (thank the gods). I also got a letter from a wizard in the mail the morning. Apparently he knows how to help with the weird things I've been seeing in the old community center.

So that's the first thing I did this morning. I went over to his tower on the edge of the forest to see what he had to say. Ngl I find it weird that all wizards live in towers. Like isn't it drafty and musty in there?? Anyways, he let me in and said he could help.

He told me that apparently those little things I've been seeing are sprites called "Junimos". He even showed me one up close! Their a lot cuter than I thought, like tiny little balls with legs! I then told him about the strange note I found in the Community Center last night. He said he'd take a look and then just DISAPPEARED!?! I was so confused. I know wizards can do magic so he probably just teleported over there but at the time, I was just so shocked. Worse yet he just left me standing there, in his tower, alone...I went to go looking around, just so see if he had anything cool (I wasn't going to steal, just look, I swear) when he just waltzes back in through the front door and starts talking again like nothing happened??? Scared the crap out of me doing that. Like I get it dude, you're a wizard, but give a girl a warning next time please??

Anyways, he told me he deciphered the note but that only someone "In harmony with the forest" could read the language. And I'm standing there like, "How am I supposed to be in harmony with the forest??? I was working an office job literally last week, this is the longest I've ever been in nature in my life!" So I go to ask him how I can do that, expecting to get given a quest (wizards do that right? giving people quests sounds like a very wizard thing to do). And then he goes, "here, drink this!" and hands me a cup of this gross looking (and smelling) green liquid straight from the cauldron in his living room. I drink it anyways because its probably easier than a quest, and omg it was horrible. I felt sick, I wanted to puke, and worst of all I started hallucinating flying pine trees!!! Next thing I know, he's kicked me out, I'm coming off the worst drug trip I've ever had, and now I'm soaking wet because its pouring rain!

But hey, now I know how to read Junimo so I guess it worked out.

The rest of the day I just spent clearing the farm and running errands. There are a lot of stray trees and branches and rocks everywhere so I want to get those cleaned up. I really want to build a coop soon, so I need the space. I also got some geodes processed at the Blacksmith's (his name is Clint, he seems nice) and donated some minerals I found in them to the museum.

That's all for today, I'm exhausted. Taking care of a farm is so much work! (Still less soul crushing than an office job though). Tomorrow, more clearing land and preparing an area for the coop!

Cyan you later!~
