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.

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.

This is pic is very misleading. The large truck in the back is actually the "normal" sized truck. The small truck in front is a small compact truck. The capabilities and uses of both vehicles is quite different. Not to mention that they don't make that small truck anymore lol.

We've been getting more of these "wide-body" trucks here...and the thing is...a lot of people 1. can't maneuver or park these trucks, 2. the parking spaces are regular sized but they always want to park closest to the door and take up several spaces, 3. barely fit on our narrow roads and 4. look ridiculous being driven by people who will never go off-road or even use the tray.

I realize you city dwellers don't actually know what work is...however, when you need to haul people and payload, that F350 is the way to go. That Tacoma would crumple under the loads that I routinely haul and move from one place to another; let alone it being a 2WD vehicle that is completely useless in the snow and mud.

There are legitimate uses for large pickups and similar trucks. However, most of them are just being driven around town with one person inside and an empty bed. (And FWIW, this city boy has driven things like an Army deuce and a half, and an M113 APC, so I appreciate what they can do.)

We have a truck that is between those two sizes. We do a lot of truck things living in the woods. Having a truck here is part of the culture as well. Having them if you live in a large metropolitan area seems, unnecessary. But hey, I don't know your life. Maybe you do truck things on the weekend. It's not the size that matters but the power within if you do, in fact, do truck things.

The reason you can't buy a truly compact truck in the USA is due to EPA regulations (CAFE). Ironically, they were intended to incentivize fuel efficiency, but exceptions for large vehicles are exploited by manufacturers.

You can thank the tax system for that, to avoid car tax manufacturers had to supersize their trucks therefore negating the purpose of the tax legislation to begin with.

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?"

I wonder what kind of annoying slogan I can make up for Volkswagen drivers. I drive a 23-year-old VW Eurovan. Nothing really rhymes hilariously with "wagen" though... ("You've been Volkswagen teabaggined"...?)

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
