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.

    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.

    Go back to a simple cotton sheet to wrap the body. I mean...does it really matter what you're buried in? Dig a hole, chuck me in and backfill it. Go to the pub and have a whiskey for me. Job done.

    If you could choose the mushroom, what would it be? Something anybody could eat (and eat a piece of you, lol), or poisonous to humans but good for animals (so they don't eat you)? Or choose a fruit tree instead?

    And/But some states do not allow/have laws that state bodies must be buried in some sort of steel type box. Otherwise the boxes will break down and the decomposing bodies will leak into the water shed.

    It's such a waste to be buried like that. The steel boxes aren't only for containing fluids. It keeps the ground from sinking in the cemetery when the caskets finally breakdown. If the ground sinks, lawn mowers and other equipment could be destroyed. Learned more than I ever wanted to know in the one day I could tolerate working at a funeral home. They even wanted us to approach people who were visiting graves and try to sell them plots. The fanciest mausoleum had flies--none of that stuff is airtight. I am definitely getting cremated. Green burials are awesome, but also awesomely expensive most places.

    How about and I know it's crazy, you just buried them in the dirt?? Maybe even throw some flower seeds and stuff in there that way when they decompose they become new life again through the plants. You can still do burial plots and headstones you just don't need the coffin.

    Legally, you can bring your own casket (or cardboard box) and they need to use it. Instead of a $10,000 casket supplied by them, you can make one at the hardware store for $200.

    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.

    "Should This Be Implemented Throughout The World?" You mean offering paying jobs to homeless people to help them get back on their feet? 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.

    This vandalism is counterproductive. People who are already on board with the cause think it's cool, but a lot of other people look at this and think "wow, the stereotype is true; people who believe in leftist causes are lowlife vandals who ought to be arrested."

    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 believe this is the infamous Shein scam, where they've prepared a landing page where people have to complete "offers" to "unlock" a Shein gift code. I haven't seen this variation but this level of brainrot as the bait is deliberate; scammers try to attract the sorts of people who are... susceptible.

    The world starts to make sense if you replace all uses of "economy" with "rich people yacht money". Example: "How is renewable energy going to impact rich people yacht money?"

    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
