Elder Darrell Bob shares a path to overcoming addiction by connecting to the land, reclaiming spiritual identity, and embracing ancestral ways. He stresses accepting past mistakes to heal, move forward, and support families.

The Turtle Lodge International Centre for Indigenous Education and Wellness, partnered with Sagkeeng Mino Pimatiziwin, provides guidance on addiction healing. Over the coming weeks, a series will feature Elders discussing root causes and fostering balanced, healthy lives.

View the series playlist here. Turtle Lodge promotes reconnecting with Earth and ancestral knowledge, founded on the 7 Sacred Laws. Learn more at www.turtlelodge.org and follow us on social media (e.g., @turtlelodge).

On March 13, WECAN and the Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance petitioned the Army Corps of Engineers in Washington D.C. They demanded a robust environmental review of the proposed Line 5 crude oil pipeline reroute.

Enbridge's Line 5 operates illegally, threatening sacred ecosystems, clean water, treaty territories, and the global climate. Despite opposition, Enbridge plans a reroute and expansion. Activists insist Line 5 must be shut down and decommissioned, not merely rerouted.

The Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance, supported by WECAN, Sierra Club, and community allies, delivered the petition. WECAN has facilitated the Alliance, comprising Great Lakes Indigenous women leaders, since 2022.

The critical work of our time is nature's restoration, yet over $2 trillion is spent annually on military operations and armaments. This global spending fuels wars, destroys cities and critical ecosystems, emits millions of tons of greenhouse gases, pollutes land and water, and exacerbates the climate crisis, increasing vulnerability to catastrophic floods, droughts, and diseases.

Military alliances are not the answer; the real battle is saving life on our planet, which requires us to stop destroying it. This vital discussion features Kati Juva (Co-President, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War) and Tamara Lorincz (environmental advocate, Canadian Voice of Women for Peace).

Indian farmers face significant challenges from nutrient deficiencies and pest attacks, impacting yield and safety. Amandeep Panwar's company, BharatRohan, addresses this by using drones and artificial intelligence to predict these problems early, enabling farmers to take quick preventative action.

Panwar and co-founder Rishabh Choudhary established BharatRohan Airborne Innovations in 2015 after observing farmers' struggles with early threat identification. Their drones utilize hyperspectral imaging cameras to detect minuscule color changes in crops, foreshadowing potential issues.

BharatRohan's subscription service offers farmers crucial advice throughout the crop season, boosting yields and cutting production costs. The company currently serves over 4,000 farmers across 10,000 acres. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

The planet is changing rapidly, necessitating urgent environmental solutions. Dr. Bertocchini, initially researching embryo development, expanded her work into bioremediation.

She discovered that *Galleria mellonella* larvae, commonly known as wax worms, can rapidly biodegrade polyethylene (PE), the world's most produced and resilient plastic. This unique speed, faster than any other known biological method, is thought to stem from the larvae's natural ability to consume wax, a complex molecule similar to PE.

This groundbreaking research was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Technology is vital for sustainable agriculture, especially in water conservation. Techniques like drip irrigation precisely deliver water, while hydroponics recycles every drop, boosting yields ten-fold and strengthening plants. The focus is on "right-tech," not just high or low, paving the way for autonomous farms.

Sachin, CEO of Simply Fresh Private Limited, exemplifies this innovation. His team successfully combined hydroponic soil-less farming with AI to create "Farm in A Box" (FiAB), India's largest state-of-the-art precision farm. This transformative approach was shared at a TEDx event.
