As easy (and understandable) as it is to complain about paper straws and the like, the truth is that it’s overall a new positive to not create trash that will outlive multiple generations of humans. However, the bad news is that we all have a long way to go.

The “Anticonsumption” online group shows the environmental effects of producing, moving, and buying too much stuff through memes and insightful posts. Hopefully, these images might be some good food for thought, so get comfortable, be sure to upvote the posts that caught your eye and comment your thoughts below.

I have a 2017 Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid; meaning it has an electric engine and a small gas engine. When I bought it in 2019 it got 60 miles of electric. Now it gets about 30. You can't buy a new PHEV that has more than 35 miles of electric. Electric car batteries are the only technology that gets worse with science. But it sure does encourage buying more cars. Thanks Corporation.

You could make that argument....but then you would also have to commit to only getting around under the power of your own body. Doable? Absolutely! haven't driven a car in 21 years. But is it something the average person is willing to do? NOPE!. People talk about building out high speed rail in the U.S without considering what that would actually entail, the proposed line from N.Y to DC which has been in development for 20 some years at this point began with a projected cost of $25 billion, by 2020, without any ground being broken, cost projections have risen to $400 billion. For a single line, 280 miles long, in which "high speed" is defined as UP TO 120mph, a far cry from the 280mph Mag lev's in china. The U.S who accounts for 4% of humanity, is responsible for 15% of global emissions....and 30% of those emissions (4.5% of global emissions) come from combustion engine cars. That's not going to change without an alternative.

Exactly. Instead, there should be electric trains, trams, and buses, as frequent as in central London, everywhere. Problem is, a ticket cannot be sold for $60,000, so it’ll take a long time to recoup their investment

Yes that's true, but the actual problem is transporting people to places they want or need to be within reasonable timeframes. If we all lived within walking distance of a grocery store and our workplace for instance there would be much less need for vehicles.

The same hip cynicism can be applied to any green technology that is not green-washing. The only groups this attitude benefits is the oil-extraction and motor vehicle industries so they won't need to put any effort into going green.

Looking at all the examples here might lead someone to despair, so it’s worth also highlighting that it’s not all doom and gloom. For example, just this week (November of 2024) Australian scientists have developed a method to recycle old textiles into concrete. The fashion industry and fast fashion in particular create mountains of waste, so this is a great step forward.

Remember, many of us purchase cheap clothing that tends to not even last a year, creating monumental water waste for products that end up in landfills at the end of the day. This is a good and sustainable way to turn that junk into a considerably more valuable commodity, construction materials.

Speaking of emissions, researchers from the University of Massachusetts are working on “agrivoltaics,” a method to help farmers utilize even more of their farmland. The crop? Energy, gathered from solar panels placed across the land. Farming does come with its own emissions, but let's face it, we need food, so might as well make it more efficient.

You may have noticed that behind most of these developments are researchers and scientists. It’s easy to get lost in the promises of green entrepreneurs, but at the end of the day, it’s research, both privately funded and publicly funded that is going to end up helping our environment.

I realize picking up garbage isn't a dream job for most, but it's a start to get them food, a place to stay and be able to look at other jobs that won't see them as "homeless" but as actual "potential employees"

Aside from being even more wasteful than the already egregious disposable vape, this thing is clearly aimed at children (and others whose brain hasn't developed past a certain point) and is designed to try to make vaping even more addictive. Vaping products should be legally required to be boring and uncool. They're already d***s. We don't need to make them more exciting.

The good plastic bags are still better than the single use (and the not even an entire single use, break immediately, completely useless) bags that can't be reused. Even if it's technically identical to the disposable bag, if people are actually using it multiple times, it makes a difference.

What we all need to understand is that we DON'T have to buy what they advertise (looking at you, BP). Nobody holds a gun to our heads and forces us to buy all the junk that's pushed on us. Don't buy anything in an ad. Make them spend the money for nothing. Actually, by putting out more and more ads, they're achieving exactly the opposite of what they want - we're learning to totally ignore what's being shoved into our faces morning, noon, and night. Ask yourself this: when was the last time you actually looked at BP's big pop-up ad before Xing it out? I've deleted two of them by now and I couldn't even tell you what they were. And that's the way it should be. If you get in my face, make it an annoyance to be on your site, then don't blame me if I'm going to ignore those annoyances. If you make the ads more annoying and less avoidable, then don't be surprised if I leave your site entirely.

These may seem dumb, but they are actual tools used in the insulation industry. Pool noodles are commonly used for insulation of piping for solar panels or outdoor hot water tubes. This is not strictly necessary, but for someone who does insulation, at just about 1$, it is a good, lightweight, safer alternative to having a serrated knife loose in the bag.

I mean, if they are wet wipes, how else are you gonna pack them to avoid them drying out?

From the original post from Routine-Soil7: "I bought this purple shirt a few weeks ago for $14.99 (first pic) and now, for Prime Day a few days ago, Amazon is blatantly misrepresenting the original price as $23.99 (second pic) in order to portray a more significant discount than they are actually offering. Some items on Amazon definitely HAVE been reduced significantly but the vast majority of items I've come across follow this same pattern and it is ridiculous."

this is actually really cool - it's "Nike Grind" fluff. a lot of the rubber in Nike shoes now is created from recycled shoes and surplus manufacturing materials - they grind it up and remake the parts for their shoes. this is a sample of that ground up recycled material~

These are organized to prevent people from throwing them in vacant lots and on the curb. And, at least where I live, they are recycled after that Considering they often last 20+ years I don't see a problem

Journalists don't work for free, and the ad-supported business model is not working anymore. It never did, but in a booming market other financial considerations made up for the gap, nowadays that time has passed and revenues must support the business.

lol No it doesn't. This one is definitely a joke. Those blades aren't able to be sharpened and they start rusting and breaking apart over time. Not to mention that never was 50 cents. As a Gillette, even 20 years ago it was at least $6

That is not a permanent ad on the building, there's renovation going on and the ad is on the cover.
