  • I like the enthusiasm but plastics just aren’t infinitely recyclable. Always remember the three R’s are in order of importance. Reduce first, reuse second, and recycle only if the first two arent plausible.

    Metal is infinitely recyclable as is can be melted down any amount of times. Plastics either break down when heated or need to be mixed with fresh plastic to keep some semblance of the properties of the original product, and even then only so many times before they are just non viable as anything other than trash.






  • In the “Three body problem” one of the main themes is an alien invasion and threat to the entire planet earth. As part of humanities plan to come up with solutions is the idea that any person or company found to be working on any technologies or plans to escape this planet is commiting a crime against the entirety of humanity and are charged accordingly. With the idea being that any effort going towards escape takes away from humanities effort to combat the threat.

    Anyways since I read that I’ve wondered what it would be like if we treated the threat of climate change that way.







  • Well I was going to write about how not participating doesnt automatically absolve you of the responsibility of your actions, but according to another one of your comments you don’t even live in America. So kindly, take your opinions and keep them to yourself while those who do live in the place we are having a conversation about try to make something of the terrible situation we are in.




  • I’ll just go ahead and copy a previous comment I made for this one, because as always a lot of people don’t feel like reading the article.

    "Painting was behind glass, the point is that in a climate change hellscape all this precious art is in danger. If all the people who read about a painting they’ve never heard of before get angry about “paint being thrown at it” they’ll really hate what’ll happen with extreme weather in a climate disaster. "

    These activists have some weird ideas sometimes, but this isn’t really one of them. If you read the article they all acknowledge that what they did they aren’t somehow entitled to do, and that they will probably go to jail for it as well. The entire point as with all protest is to shove it in the face of all the people that ignore this issue on a daily basis.

    Oil companies are doing the same thing to all precious art and nature and all the things you love, so where is the accountability for them?

    TL;DR these people are annoying, and that’s the fucking point.
