Good for them, keep it up

Damn, Braiding Sweetgrass is on my list, now I need to add Moss as well haha. The list won’t stop growing!

I’ve never heard of the term Edenizing until now. Sounds nice, I’ll start researching!

Here’s to it growing year over year 💪

So they’ll use their green energy from the wind turbines to charge and power the vessels needed to maintain the turbines themselves. Beautiful. Poetic.

Scotland is one to watch in regards to climate effort. I’ll be living there soon and hoping to become involved in the industry.

I read Nudge and enjoyed it, despite agreeing with many of the criticisms of it. The writing style was accessible and entertaining, so I’ll probably check this out.

Both efforts are intertwined and can run in parallel

Nice! I wonder if they plan to integrate Pixelfed with Loops so they can work as one app - replace the Instagram/Reels combo

I noticed there is an animist community here, that’s something I’d like to learn more about. I believe it’s about respecting non-living things? It reminds me of the Japanese idea of tsukonogabi, where items gain a spirit after 100 years.

They even have a cool map that really helps visualise the scale of the network: https://wearetheark.org/map-of-arks/

Cheers!

I enjoy philosophy, thank you!

Thank you Solo 🙏

Thank you! If it’s climate adjacent I’ll check it out :)

Cheers, I’ve added them to the list!

Yeah, it’s similar to the debate around whether paper bags or tote bags are more eco friendly. As others mentioned here in regards to dishwashers, what likely matters most is how many times an item must be used before it offsets the environmental cost of it’s own production.

Sadly even if you reject the receipt in my regular shops they still get printed, the staff just toss them instead.

A wide adoption of a digital alternative would be great. It of course opens up questions around the impact of hosting them digitally, but I’m optimistic that would cost less than all the unnecessary paper, especially if the service was hosted on renewable power.

Ahhh nothing is sacred :(

And you get a delicious bread treat after your meal ;)

Thanks for sharing! This is very cool, some great common sense in action.

Point no. 3 here makes me wonder. Is it worth making plastic for temporary items circular? In the end it will find its way into the trash. Would it be better to bite the bullet and just outlaw plastic in these situations? I guess plastic is very useful especially in regards to food safety.

It aims to: Prevent and reduce packaging waste, including through more reuse and refill systems. Make all packaging on the EU market recyclable in an economically viable way by 2030. Safely increase the use of recycled plastics in packaging. Decrease the use of virgin materials in packaging and put the sector on track to climate neutrality by 2050.
