Gildan makes a lot of their shirts in pretty bad sweatshops.

But if you're looking for t-shirts made somewhere more "ethical", prepare to literally pay 10x the price.

For my workout or dirty work shirts I go to thrift stores. There'll be lots of polyester/cotton blend shirts but probably still gonna be more than $3.

Similar story in my life but a 12-pack of Smirnoff Ice

Canada is a petrostate after all.

It's still around.

The amendment to USA's constitution that "banned" slavery did so EXCEPT as punishment for a crime.

USA also has astoundingly high incarceration rates per capita. Coincidence?

They were from Muji. Cotton slippers. The ones made from some kind of reed are gone.

Good point. But I don't know how it'd off-gas or if it'd leak onto stuff.

I'm a fan of using 3-in-1 oil for most things. Should be good for metal tracks.

Not food safe though. Not sure what to use on kitchen drawers.

WD-40 is a rather poor lubricant. Maybe OP is also talking about wooden drawers or somewhere food is stored? In those cases I'd not use WD-40 either.

Probably as effective as any other carbon capture and storage scam.

 

Another huge hydro dam is being built in British Columbia, on Canada's west coast.

The article describes the coming destruction of farmland and wildlife habitat.

“We have to decarbonize our economy, but it can’t be on the back of flooding more river valleys.”

But as long as the economy grows, more sacrifice zones like this will be made. And if you don't like flooded river valleys, go take a look at tar sands pits or mountaintop removals.

 

Logging companies get to clearcut burned forests, including trees that survived the burn. Another way that capital can profit even from disaster. And the extractive state lays down the red carpet for capital to do it.

 

Specifically about coal plants.
