The fight against climate change is often framed as a sacrifice: eat less meat and drive less often. But those actions could also be framed positively: eat more plants and ride bikes more often. A new study finds presenting environmental action in a more proactive light makes people more likely to act and feel happier about doing it

Malaysia bans E-Waste imports, as they got out of hand:

“Malaysia is not a dumping ground for the world's waste,” it said. “E-waste is not just garbage but a serious threat to the environment, people's health and national security.”

In 1946, and for the better of 80 years, capitalist firms were concerned with the cost of transportation of liquid products. It made shipments heavier, and it was due to something everyone (mostly) had at home - water. Getting rid of the water so that people could add it at home was cost-effective, and, at the same time, environmentally conscious.

Well, we have subsidized fuel so much that the economic worry is gone. And we have completely undervalued our environment in this capitalist hellscape. That is why, with not the least bit of amazement, I share with you that Minute Maid is no longer shipping concentrated orange juice. Truth is, it had become such a small part of the market, that I didn't even realize that they were still making this.

I listened to an interview on CBC As It Happens last night of one of the OLAUG members. One comment stuck with me: She said as you get old you lose your memory and some physical strength but you can still find wonder around you. I very much agree with her.

Solutions to climate change, which would also have the effect of reducing per-person emissions, need to happen within a much shorter period. By the time the population actually does shrink, having fewer people won’t make much difference

For now, it appears that the kind of robots we’d need to replace humans at scale won’t arrive soon enough to help compensate for the slowing productivity growth of an aging population

Legacy PFAS in North Atlantic pilot whales have fallen 60% over the past decade, reflecting earlier phaseouts of the most toxic “forever chemicals.”

But researchers warn of “regrettable substitution,” as similar replacements may cause comparable harm. Meanwhile, human samples show organofluorine levels holding steady or rising — suggesting newer PFAS could be accumulating mainly on land.
