when it becomes more toxic to be outdoors than indoors, people will get over this old-fashioned idea that "the environment" is a healthy place to be, and they'll spend more time inside where the economy lives!

Pretty sure the japanese guy who invented lightweight plastic shopping bags, who was doing it to reduce the amount of trees being cut down to make paper bags and be more sustainable, said something in the last few years about how wrong he was.

"Plastic"

Gold is for the mistress—silver for the maid—
Copper for the craftsman cunning at his trade.
"Good!" said the Baron, sitting in his hall,
"But plastic—good plastic—better than them all!

Plastic and clean plastic, crafted without flaw,
Sturdy, yet flexible, molding to my law.
Plastic to hold the world, in its gleaming grip,
Plastic, that does not falter, nor ever slip.

Man, subduing nature, bends her to his will,
Plastic, his creation, shaping and serving still.
Stronger than the sword-edge and mightier than the pen,
Plastic, the conqueror, over again!

The ingots of the plastic the craftsman melts and pours,
With patience and with labor, each day and every hour.
And plastic rings the rafter, and plastic springs the floor,
And plastic makes the roof-beams that keep our spirits sure.

"Build," said the Baron, "build me a plastic tower,
Higher and yet higher, spreading its plastic power!
Till it touch the planets, and toss the morning star,
Plastic, eternal, shall stretch out near and far!"

So it was in the beginning, so it shall ever be,
Plastic, the indomitable, ruling land and sea.
For plastic, strong and subtle, remains mankind's great prize,
A tool, a weapon, a symbol, beneath the boundless skies.

It's what's for dinner.

quote:

The owners of a well linked to one of the worst methane leaks ever recorded are to be fined more than 350 million tenge ($774,000; £614,000), authorities have said.

Last week the BBC published new analysis showing thousands of tonnes of the greenhouse gas escaped from a well in southwestern Kazakhstan in 2023.

[...]

127,000 tonnes of methane escaped from this single well.

That is the equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions from more than 717,000 petrol cars over a year.

That's $1 per car-year

can we somehow refine the toxin and market it as a new type of green project? Hit it from all angles? This is generating carbon credits.

maybe the toxin could double as a weight loss drug, this could be bigger than Ozempic

lol I remember as a kid when my school district replaced all the wood chips in the playgrounds with shredded up tire rubber, for "safety". Great stuff for kids to roll around in and play with! So much safer than nasty old wood.
