In 20 years, boring dads will be telling their kids "You know, every single one of the fire lakes in Texas is manmade. The state doesn't have any natural fire lakes."

chennai still doesn't have enough water; trains are making a four-hour trip every day to bring a trickle in. here's a picture of trucks distributing the water: here's a recent article/audio piece chennai's metro population, 8 million, is roughly the size of new york city. chennai's water supply seems to be in four reservoirs with a total of 11,057 million cubic feet of storage (theyre mostly empty right now). new york city's total reservoir storage added up to 43,000 mcft in the '20s and since the '60s has been about 74,000 mcft. that's the difference in infrastructure between a rich country and a poor country, i guess. edit: there's a wiki page just for this water crisis. it doesn't seem to be getting updated recently oystertoadfish has issued a correction as of 16:40 on Aug 3, 2019 |

if a municipality that lost in courts to Big Plastic over outright plastic bag ban could mandate that instead they all be hi vis pink (for "making them easier for prisoners to spot while doing cleanups alongside the roads you patriotically sail your f350 along" or something I dunno) chuds would be coming into stores with an arm full of real tree brand camo reusable bags cause they don't want someone thinkin' they're a queer

I bring a roll of plastic wrap to the store with me and individually wrap all of my grocery articles, before putting them each in their own bags, in order to prevent cross contamination. Then when I get home I just burn the plastic Bing bong

I always take my reusable bag to the weed store when buying multiple boxes of edibles. People do in fact comment on it, lol. Mostly to say "right on". It is the Seattle area though.

Actually I usually walk to the store so I have a large backpack and carry everything on my back I have to go to the store fairly often because I can't carry that much but it's just another reason to walk, which is good On the outward journey my backpack is then filled with paper, plastic, and glass which I recycle I'm just constantly hauling packaging around like a mule
