Also sugarcrete begs the question (before you read up on it) what happens when it rains?

Agreed canecrete has got to be it.

Hey don’t knock the tags - they keep the property values in check.

If anyone is having trouble eating vegetarian, try going vegan for a week – it’ll make vegetarianism seem like the easiest thing in the world lol.

I took it as a bit of a challenge. Once I was used to eating vegetarian, I would “up the difficulty” on a meal by making it totally vegan. Turns out that cutting out cheese and butter was all it took 90% of the time.

Anyway, good luck, and it’s worth it!

Just saw this - looks very interesting.

Great way to name and shame landfill stockers

Reheated meals are great. Sometimes they’re even better the next day!

Can’t spell jugaad without jug, after all (see manifesto).

I will say I agree with your distaste for plastics, and try to avoid it around foodstuffs. I think @rwdf is likely right, and we will look back on our plastic use with dread in the future. It’s just to ubiquitous now that we don’t even think of it.

But I’m not here to rain on anyone’s parade. This is a great example of thrift and self reliance.

It is demoralising looking at this image, and knowing with a palpable certainty, before even checking, that this is absolutely not happening in my country.

Love an e-waste rescue story 💘

lol

This is my favourite thing

So cool.

What a stunning creature.

Oh I can see how the word “option” could read like that. Glad you brought it up, to give me the chance to clarify

I am agreeing with op. Corpos and govs are the ones who have to do something. We individually and collectively also have to do something. Nothing changes for the better unless we have buy-in from individuals. The binary you’re presenting is one I didn’t intend with my comment. I was saying we should watch out for green washing, when functioning as a consumer.

That is, If you can avoid doing business with companies which are harming the environment then you should. The same goes for doing business with companies which are half-assed or insincere in their efforts (though these are naturally preferable).

So if you can’t avoid a purchase, and there isn’t a good choice, then obviously you should pick the most ecologically sound option available to you.

My main point is no one should feel virtuous for picking, like, “eco green Coca Cola” just because 5% of the proceeds go to saving the rainforest. They’re a reprehensible company, so far better to just not fuck with Coke in the first place.

File under “green washing.”

If a company offers a more expensive “choice” of a greener option, rather than just being ecologically responsible by default, then you are being sold a product. That is, you get to express your superior “green” ethics by identifying with your purchase.

The company doesn’t actually care about the environment. They’re just doing the minimum to capture extra $$$

I would amend the quote to say “voting alone isn’t going to do shit.” IMO without direct action it’s just a slower slide into fascism.

Agreeing with both of you basically. I just don’t want anyone thinking that voting on its own is sufficient to address the problems we’re seeing

I want to disagree but… Yes… This is us
