I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.
I recently got some goats and I take them through the forest on walks and let them browse the foliage at their own pace and I've never felt more centered in my life than on our walks ihe forest

The truly rich will be insulated for a while, but "landowners" haven't been a protected class in the US for a long time. Every major hurricane, flood, or wildfire leaves a ton of homeowners completely screwed. You're still more likely than not to get a reasonable settlement from insurance, but it's becoming more and more of a gamble to own in really vulnerable areas.

some highly vulnerable places have full state support tho. like the jersey shore got owned by sandy. total destruction and nj and the army corps spent all the money on earth to make it an even bigger catastrophe next time because the beach= $$$

Love them for the next 7-10 years of their life.

Two are boys and will I guess always be pets. I would like to milk the two girls and make butter and cheese but I would rather my goats be happy so if I don't think I can handle it then I'm not going to subject them to it. I need to talk to their vet later this month about pregnant goats and milking etc.

Additionally I have 16 chickens which means at like peak production I'd be getting close to a dozen eggs a day and a half gallon of goat milk.

I just planted four apple trees today also and will be planting more fruit trees in April.

If you're already getting a half a gallon of goat milk per day from the chickens what would you need to milk the goats for?

Here's another chart from the same source that looks only at greenhouse gas emissions. The "environmental impact" chart seems to be weighted very heavily towards water use.

the reason single use plastic bags are bad has nothing to do with the amount of resources it takes to produce them.

Paradoxish
Dec 19, 2003

Will you stop going crazy in there?
The plastic bag thing has been going around for a while and I've never seen anything to really refute it. Most of the counterpoints I have seen are really wishy-washy "well you should choose what's best for you and isn't it nice to reuse the same trendy bag?" kind of bullshit which also isn't reassuring.

I kind of suspect that it's probably reasonably accurate as long as you don't look too hard at the waste issue. Single-use plastic bags generate a poo poo ton of waste, whereas even cheap reusable bags tend to be really durable.

Depends extremely strongly on how you define environmental impact

Cotton does need a lot of water to grow. It doesn't produce nano cellulose particles.

They say growing, weaving, & using an organic cotton bag 1 time a week for 384 years is the same environmental damage as producing 20000 plastic bags and throwing them away, unless I have completely misunderstood

So technically 20k people should not all run out and buy several acres of cotton fields worth of bags is a different way of thinking about it?

a thing that seems confusing for a lot of people is that there are multiple orthogonal ecological catastrophes caused by humans. plastic bags are bad because people absolutely cannot stop littering, plus our method of garbage disposal is “bury it in the ground or dump it in the ocean,” and so you get thin plastic fragments blowing around everywhere and it kills wildlife and eventually will kill us. the crisis of humanity sucking massive amounts of hydrocarbons from the ground and burning it to feed their unceasing hunger for free energy, creating a dramatic shift in the climate of the planet, is a different problem.

we also are cutting down all the forests and destroying all the wetlands and overfishing everything and hunting things to extinction, which is another different thing again. saying that plastic bags are actually good because they don’t use much energy completely ignores the primary reason that they are bad.

they're not orthogonal. all of this has the same primary reason: capitalism.
