📣 Vous connaissez IKILL ? Non, ce n'est pas le nom d'un jolie meuble de la marque suédoise, mais de la vraie face de #ikea comme le relève le documentaire : "Ikea, le seigneur des fôrets" : https://www.lemonde.fr/culture/article/2024/02/27/ikea-le-seigneur-des-forets-sur-arte-un-predateur-discret-champion-du-greenwashing_6218889_3246.html

🤜 Pour appuyer le propos face à la multinationale, Extinction Rebellion Bordeaux est venu dénoncer l’empreinte environnementale désastreuse d'IKEA, bien loin de l’image "écolo" de la marque #Greenwashing
📢 Cette mobilisation dénonce un modèle économique favorisant la surconsommation et la déforestation et non les individu·e·s qui s'y retrouvent mêlé·e·s.
Rejoignez-nous dans cette lutte face à la #déforestation 🌳🌲🌱

Guess who is the largest private land owner in Romania.

https://news.mongabay.com/2024/04/ikea-blamed-for-romanian-forest-destruction/

The investigations by Greenpeace and fellow environmental groups Agent Green and the Bruno Manser Fonds focus on IKEA’s procurement of wood from ecologically sensitive areas in Romania’s Carpathian Mountains.

Inter IKEA Group, the franchisor responsible for the IKEA supply chain, and Ingka told Mongabay they “strongly disagree” with the findings and that the operations complied with national and European laws.

Le bois sale d'IKEA

Depuis près d'une décennie, IKEA s'est lancé dans une frénésie d'achat de terrains, s'emparant de forêts ancestrales en Roumanie.

Le géant de l'ameublement est aujourd'hui le plus grand propriétaire foncier privé du pays. Cependant, de récents rapports alarmants ont révélé ses pratiques d'exploitation forestière destructrices dans quelques-unes des dernières forêts anciennes d'Europe.

Face à ces accusations, IKEA a réagi en lançant une campagne de communication visant à discréditer cette étude et à tromper le public. Mais nous ne les laisserons pas s'en tirer à si bon compte.

En unissant nos forces, nous pouvons riposter par notre propre campagne de communication pour que le public apprenne la vérité sur la provenance du bois d'IKEA, et que soit dénoncée la fausse image écologique que l'entreprise aime cultiver. Nous ciblerons ensuite son PDG avec de puissantes publicités jusqu'à ce que l'entreprise change ses pratiques.

IKEA se vante de son bilan environnemental, mais ses acquisitions massives de terres forestières révèlent une réalité bien différente. IKEA possède aujourd'hui 51 000 hectares de terres en Roumanie, où les deux tiers des forêts vierges du pays ont disparu depuis 2007.

L’entreprise est aujourd’hui dénoncée pour avoir coupé à blanc ces forêts sans permis ni études d'impact sur l'environnement. Ce bois se retrouve ensuite dans des meubles vendus en Allemagne, en France et au Royaume-Uni.

Cette situation dépasse largement les frontières de la Roumanie. IKEA est le plus grand consommateur de bois au monde, et cette tendance croît à une vitesse alarmante. Au cours de la dernière décennie, le géant de l'ameublement a DOUBLÉ sa consommation de bois !

Si nous ne forçons pas l'entreprise à rectifier ses pratiques, il sera bientôt trop tard. Toutefois, nous savons que la pression de l'opinion publique peut contraindre IKEA à revoir ses positions. En 2021, une enquête a révélé qu'IKEA utilisait du bois russe obtenu illégalement pour fabriquer ses meubles pour enfants. Après un tollé général, IKEA a promis de cesser de s'approvisionner auprès de ce fournisseur aux méthodes illicites.

Nous devons désormais redoubler d'efforts pour sauver les dernières forêts de Roumanie. Êtes-vous prêt à soutenir notre campagne de communication pour faire pression sur les dirigeants d'IKEA et les inciter à changer de cap avec des publicités percutantes ?

This is what happens when you grow #mint ina hydroponic system.

Just like in soil, mint have a strong way of spreading and taking over what ever place is available.

This used to hold a #parsley seedling, next to the mint unit on the 3x5 hole #IKEA #Växer unit.

The parsley was killed long time ago and it's roots were chocked and taken over by the neighboring mint.

I'm cleaning up the unit indoor and getting rid of all the unhealthy units. This , I pulled to find over 40cm of roots growing towards the rest of the system.

I removed this unit and trimmed all the unnecessary roots. And I probably have to do major cleanup of the reservoir.

But for now, this guy needs a new home.

Hydroponic leek from an outdoor #IKEA #Växer (small 3x4 holes) unit.

Kept one unit on the balcony and turned it into #DWS using solar panels and air pump.

Tomatoes and parsley didn't do well out there but leek seems to have gone wild and have thick juicy leaves.

Not at tall as those I planted in soil and the white part is not as long as those but overall it is a great vegetable that is going to be my #leek and #garlic #omelette today.

Tried to go to sleep early, and instead ended up waking up at 2AM.

Decided to do some quiet garden work so I picked up the failed attempt to grow #garlic hydroponically.

It grew pretty good as long as just the roots were in water, but when I planted the bulbs in #vermiculite and placed them on one of the holes of #IKEA #Växer, they stopped growing after a while and the stems turned dryand rotten.

I am going to plant these in soil outside to see if I get them to grow leaves again.

Another major batch of #parsley from one of #IKEA #Växer units.

This time is about 700g and going to freeze them while waiting for the next batch to grow (I have one more with parsley, one with #leek, #coriander, #mint, and #dill that are not producing as much. Each unit has 15 grow holes. One is almost empty. I am missing #taragon and I'm missing Iranian Shanbalileh (شَنبَلیله یا به فارسی دری شینبل (نام علمی: Trigonella foenum-graecum) ) to have all vegetables I need except to spinach that is not worth growing in small space that I have to be self sufficient in having all necessary vegetables for cooking different Iranian dishes.

This single Ikea unit has givene 5 batch of parsley since I started it and ther are no sign of decline as ww are getting closer to summer.

It has already paid off the initial cost I paid for it and from now on, it's all profit. Next it trying to setup the Mimi tower unit to grow them with solar powered water pumps and sunshine (no artificial LEDs for this trial.

Just need to buy some fertilizer because running low.

Using a 1L bottle with 2 holes about 2cm bellow the top is helping to feed the plants in the #IKEA #Växer system with constant access to water and nutrients.

I believe that was the main reason most people who bought the units failed to enjoy it and had to resell it at low cost or simply keep it in storage unit they throw them away.

Good for me since I bought all but one unit from the French web site LebonCoin at a fraction of the price of what they were sold by IKEA.

On this unit, I have 4 #tomato plants, 1 @parsley, one giant #mint and 2 radishes. It's consuming about 1L per day as tomatoes starting to grow, and maybe have to give more water and nutrients to help producing more in the coming weeks.

These little guys are helping me more than my medication to calm down and relax from the daily stress and troubles.

My 2x12L dutch bucket hydroponic units I setup using wood from a pallet and 10W LED lights from #IKEA #Växer have helped multiple plants growing extremely well.

2 pepper plants and couple of flower plants growing in a unit with 10L water reservoir and water pump that is active 3x20 minutes per day.

Had to hand pollinate the #peppers and saw a few growing in the back, one ready to pickup. And of course lots and lots of flowers. Time to hand pollinate a few more.

This is my second most successful hydroponic project.
