kater posted:what did people even do before plastics I don’t get it we used hot sterilization on glass and metals for basically anything that needed to be super clean. People brought their own cups and spoons and poo poo in those igloo lunch boxes with their lunches and poo poo. The whole single use plastics industry was wholey invented out of loving thin air 60 years ago. It's kind of impressive how loving fast we adapted to it.

tbf plastics have enabled a metric poo poo ton of modern technology, especially medical technology and electronics obviously. but it should have been used sparingly for anywhere it wasn’t necessary

https://gizmodo.com/were-a-step-closer-to-geoengineering-the-oceans-1848179300 We're a Step Closer to Geoengineering the Oceans The National Academy of Sciences released a major report chronicling six techniques to turn the oceans into carbon dioxide vacuums. All techniques have multiple hurdles to overcome, ranging from feasibility to regulatory. ... Those hurdles, along with ones of equity and respecting tribal treaty rights, and risks all matter. But they don’t outweigh the need to explore how to suck carbon dioxide from the sky. ... it’s also a chance to make some people fabulously rich, if the private sector has its way. Removing about 10 gigatons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere annually by midcentury means this could be a $1 trillion per year industry. That means governments will need to set an agenda, engage citizens, and create regulations to ensure we don’t end up with a bunch of rogue for-profit companies driving the bus.

Cups in the office now have individual plastic sleeves rather than one sleeve for the stack. And they're all too big for the cup.

Worried about how bad things will get as civilization slowly collapses from climate change? Don't be, warm autumns are delaying trees going dormant for winter. If you kept bonsai you know how important it is it to let them go dormant for winter. Many a beginner has killed theirs keeping it indoors all year round. They won't survive more than a few years without their natural dormancy period. While you may have been worried how bad things would get as nations slipped into fascism as civilization slowly collapsed. Now you can rest in the knowledge things may fall apart over a much short time frame than we thought. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/fall-foliage-disrupted-by-climate-change-might-be-new-normal quote:“We ought to be concerned potentially, not just about timing of change for autumn, but whether or not it portends some forest collapse,” says George Mason University ecologist Rebecca Forkner. “While nobody wants to be the ‘sky is falling’ kind of person, we do understand these changes are the plants telling us something is not right.”
