bimulous

From the storybook, “A Bimulous Night” the word has no formal definition. Bimulous describes the ideal nighttime setting. A warm full moonlit night with a few clouds that play amongst the moon beams. Warm, quiet but not silent, as the frogs and the crickets play along. Innocent and completely safe, one can walk a path lit only by the moon and have not a care. Indeed, a Bimulous night is the perfect setting after the sun sets. Perhaps to reflect and be thankful for peace and serenity it brings.

She walked only lit by the moon as the peacefulness enveloped her. She was at complete calm in this truly bimulous night.

Carbonwashing

Carbonwashing is similar to Greenwashing. Carbonwashing is the practice of virtue signaling by companies or individuals to proclaim that they are purchasing "carbon credits" or similar type carbon producing offsets as a means to polish their corporate image. While, in the background they may or may not be doing this as it is a very shadowy audit process to actually prove that you are indeed having any impact whatsoever further to whatever metrics you are using to illustrate.

I just came from a conference and they were speaking of "carbon offsets" and "carbon capture" credits for their business. I'm not sure that these companies are actually measuring this properly or even partaking in sames. I think many of them are just Carbonwashing us.

Boatager

A person or people that regularly visits their boats ‘in marina’ and essentially are using this space as a floating cottage. They rarely actually pass the ‘pump out station’ and venture into the ‘big waters’

What is up with ‘Rain Man”? He just comes and sits on his boat and ‘goes nowhere’. We need need more boatagers like him to support the marina. Even during the summer solstice, he never ventured into the TO islands to enjoy the amazing sunset.
