TW, RW, IW, and DW stand for total, recycled, incinerated, and discarded plastic waste. Total plastic waste accounts for not only primary but also secondary plastic waste, which is recycled plastic leaving the use phase and becoming waste again. doi:10.1007/978-3-030-38945-1 posted:If the trend shown in Fig. 8 were to continue for the next 30 years, annual global primary plastic production would reach an astounding 1.1 billion metric tons in 2050 (Geyer et al. 2015). That is the same as the total amount of primary plastic we produced during the first 34 years of plastic mass production, i.e. from 1950 to 1983, produced in just 1 year. In this scenario, cumulative primary plastic waste generation would have reached 26 billion metric tons by 2050, four times the amount of the primary plastic waste we have generated to date. There are good reasons to assume that this would overwhelm the waste management systems of many, if not all countries, who already struggle to cope with today’s plastic waste volumes.

Thinking about it now, I have a teavana bpa/ free (whatever the bullshit is) loose leaf brewer that you can put on top of cups to empty out the tea from the bottom. Only the gods know how much plastic was leaching into each cup that was brewed.

It took a few episodes before my partner got over the branding and agreed it was seriously good. It was 17c degrees on Sunday. On Wednesday it will be 17c degrees again. In Southern Alberta.

when is technology going to upgrade my rear end in a top hat to an official 3d printer so i can print things other than piles of poo poo? i need some things. the piles of poo poo are very useful because of all the plastic i can extract from it, but i need more.

Just another 70 degree day here in northern Colorado. We had 6 months of summer, with 95 degree weather into October, then the saddest fall I've ever seen, most of the leaves falling practically overnight. And it's almost December and still t-shirt weather.

Not worth addressing. 2. It's really simple for conservative thinktanks to dupe some rear end in a top hat into thinking it's not bad because the liberal/democratic medias/thinktanks are also very much not reporting, or are inaccurately reporting, climate change and its effects. I was this weekend telling my brother that Vancouver, a major metro, had all highway access to it destroyed by flooding - he, very well read and sharp, had no idea anything happened recently in BC at all. You can repeat that little play ad infinitum. Nobody is reporting the real weather and its real cause, to lay the blame at the feet of people who have been denying climate change from the very beginning instead of your own is extremely craven. 3. The cause is immaterial. Doom guaranteed regardless of whether heating is anthropogenic or if the Earth is naturally warming and the CO2 ppm is also part of this natural cycle and it's just a coincidence that these two conditions line up with industrial activity. But this is really just saying, you know, that anthropogenic heating is unfounded. Well, so what? You can eliminate anthropogenic heating by saying fossil fuel burning is not the cause (let's say it is a coincidence, sure, why not?, it doesn't matter), sure. But if it's true that CO2 PPM is owed to a natural carbon boom this doesn't get humanity off the hook! Because the other human-instigated climate change inducing activity is the destruction of carbon sinks. If it's natural and we've unnaturally destroyed the Earth's capacity to return to equilibrium we are still very much to blame you know. Whether it's anthropogenic or not our focus and efforts should've been on aiding the Earth's ability to re-absorb carbon (or else, if it is anthropogenic then to reduce the carbon emitted; this was always a good idea whether it caused heating or not because the fossil fuel industry is deadly to humans and animals irrespective of heating). Whether it's anthropogenic or not the future we're hurtling towards is one which cannot support human life. So who cares?? Trust me if it's true that fossil fuels don't cause climate change there are plenty of other crimes to hang the oil bankers for so no worries there! 4. It's important to note which solutions are said not to work. Conservative thinktanks will say that, e.g., green energy won't work because wind turbines don't spin when they freeze or that solar cannot power a city, rather than real reasons. 5. Trusting scientists is not required to understand climate change and accept its reality. Anyway it's a lie because they very much trust the scientists who say that climate change isn't happening or that it's caused by a natural carbon cycle or that it's caused by minimums/maximums (idiotic) and so on.

to go back to my alcoholism metaphor, just because we permanently damaged our liver years ago doesn't mean we need to be drinking ourselves to death today. but the only acceptable plan is "keep drinking a handle a night for the next 4 years, then slowly decreasing* our alcohol consumption by 1oz a month until we're teetotalers" so no, we're not going to stop drinking ourselves to death using that plan. *but if say someone else opens a beer or bottle of wine i can drink it all and it doesn't count against my booze limit because they would have drunk it anyway if i didn't so its like i never drank the bottle of wine at all when you think about it.
