Nach kaputtem Klima, unbezahlbarem Wohnraum und überalterter Gesellschaft, kommt jetzt der nächste Schlag der langsam dahinscheidenden 50+ Generation in die Fresse aller die noch eine Weile auf diesem Planeten leben müssen: AfD > 20%

Every country will struggle in the near future. Some sooner, some later. To me it seams like we have reached the limits of what we can have. What we have is very badly distributed but it really comes down to how many things, how many computers, shoes, containerships, gold watches, private jets, truckloads of harvested corn, clothes and everything else can there be. We could redistribute and we could recycle but we're not doing both in any meaningful amount.
Remember, this metric of "worst performing county" takes only the economy into account and with limited resources there is no endless growth.
Btw. This doesn't mean we can't be happy. We're not the economy and we're not the stuff we own.
It can't have zero impact if you replace 50-300 million straws per day in de US alone. Could we do more? Of course we could but a start is a start and this is better than nothing.
Besides that I don't get how and why someone's life might depends on plastic straws but I'm sure we could find an alternative for that poor person.
Maybe but a metal or glass straw that got disposed has a very different impact on the environment than a plastic one...
My tip for everyone using Firefox on pc: install the tree style tabs plugin!
On YouTube music it feels like Madonna and others are rereleasing their complete discography every month to spam the new releases page. And by the way, is it really so fucking hard to separate singles from full albums into two different lists?
No but the plastic ones actually did harm the plant.
Once in a restaurant I got some longe macaroni pasta as a straw and I still think this was genius.
New on this planet? When was the last time any political decision was based on science?
Sorry for the shitpost, I missed my train and now I'm a little bored 🤫
We could do more than just hope... And we really should.
Im feeling the same for every product the broke at one point in my life, for every food I have digested and for all the DVDs I bought in the early 2000s... things change and to have played $15 10 years ago for a game that is now f2p is nothing to cry about. Especially because you can still play it.
