NEVER FORGET THE USA & NATO SPENT SINCE EX-USA PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON BUILDING-UP TO USSR’S/RUSSIA’S BOARDER & SINCE RUSSIA’S (USA’S PUPPET) PRESIDENT BORIS YELTSIN’s DAYS USA/NATO HAS BUILDING-UP UKRAINE’S MILITARY, AT RUSSIA’S BOARDER, & EX-USA PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN INCITED, A VERY SENSITIVE SITUATION, INTO THE RUSSIA DICTATOR PUTIN INTO INVADING.

Which is both clearly illegal under The International Laws, of The World, that The UN is supposed to be enforcing. But I guess, since the current worse than Genocide by in Palestine, which is even more clearly spelled-out in International Laws as illegal, we all have come accept we have been living in a world where International Laws/Ethnics & Morality are not appliable to 1st World Nations, which make-up The NATO.

Most of The Western Countries’ people conveniently ignore these FACTS.

Sorry, but I heard the exact opposite, from other sources, I trust.

Just DuckDuckGoed using- Does solar panels use Rare Earth Metals? & found & read all on the first page some- https://green.org/2024/01/30/solar-energys-dependence-on-rare-earth-materials/,

https://www.pv-magazine.com/2019/11/28/are-rare-earths-used-in-solar-panels/,

https://seia.org/blog/how-important-are-rare-earth-elements-to-the-solar-and-storage-industry/,
Only the above link from The Solar Energy Industries Association, claims solar panels are free from Rare Earth Elements/Metals, but admits the converts & Etc. required devices for Solar Panels to work, use Rare Earth Elements/Metals.

That might be true, but let us be real & fair to reality, they are also I believe- the second largest population of a country & the #1 country for non-fussil fuels energy & everything in a country. That is not to say, I think they doing an awesome job, model or anything like that.

WOW, does that mean that Chinese Gov. gets what the World’s Capitalist (or should I be saying Feudalism) Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners cannot never believe?

I can remember years ago ‘60-Mins’ did a glowing segment about these corporations wanting to do deep sea mining.

Not only that, but I watched a ‘Free Speech’s ‘Rising Up with Sonali’ segment with dealing with plastics expert ‘The Problem with Plastics’ author Judith Enck, & she said, almost all of the packages claiming to be compostable are just lies, as they have plastics in them. You are just creating a dump on your property,

With that Negative being said, she also said a positive, all non-plastics are actually recycled at very high rates, unlike plastics that is the exact opposite.

The microplastics points by both GreyShuck & you are great, I was not even thinking about microplastics & my (& female roommate’s) health, just the issue of not being able to find a way to compost them because plastic in general.

Also awesomely help point about cutting off the tops & dumping the tea into stainless steel tea steeping container, because yes, we do have one.

Good to know

See the on Earth solar panels space use, & thus the other Beings lost of that space, is one of the biggest selling points of Near Earth Orbiting Solar Energy.

Plus, with better performance, does not the cost per Watt save money?

Okay, just another stupid rule, gotcha.

just discovered it has all the links’ URLs loaded-up as one-link? Is not just a comma need to separate all links?

I was all like WOW, AWESOME!!! Until when I went to the article & found-out it was only the hard drive/?thumb drive? case that was made from mushrooms. I was all in the SciFi future world media, What a let down!

Sure it is still really cool, removes most of the plastic, so much better for the environment then traditional hard drives/?thumb drives?, but I just bought 2-survivor series thumb drives, from Corsair. They can survive water, dropped & run over, can this even come close to that? doubt it, no thanks, wait for better versions- like completely made from mushrooms.

That is the same way politicians in South Fl. do to look good, by hiring huge corporations, when can easily just create local neighborhoods doIng this themselves & regulate them, all most all cases not as good for The Environment. Newly elected Mayor of one of the counties, I (not the lamestream news challenges that did whole segments, on her plan) contacted pointed the above out & that the monopoly corporation she was talking up used tons of plastic, instead easily recycled metal & huge dump trucks traveling great distances. Since I do not live in Ag. & Unincorporated area/cannot vote for her, no one ever got back to me.

This is the problem with our species, we let those few that have a ton of resources & thus can easily do what must be for the benefit of The Living Planet & All Living Beings, just decide I want something cooler, to them, & never do it. There must be serious costs (rehabilitation & penalties) to those that refuse to do the right thing.

In my privileged family, many households could get solar panels, electric vehicles (both of these things my own parents just will not do) & so much more, yet it is not what they prefer to do, some BS reasoning!

Example is what at least over a decade ago, I remember watching Independent news reports on what South Africa did, when small percentage of their population (large percentage were Caucasian) was consuming too much of the water, South Africa was heading to having no more water! They put a limit on amount of water that could use & gave financial penalties for going over & hired people to travel around give citations!

Now Iran Capital is in the same fate,
