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.

    "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"

    This is misleading, in the fact it is often used to imply unethical practices such as hormone use or animal abuse. Chicken weight more on average because *we now raise different breeds*, that start to put on muscle mass faster and reach full maturation at 6 weeks of age instead of 12-15. Improved selection, crossbreeding and more controlled, better nutrition also brought new breeds that have more breast and leg muscle mass -the more valuable parts- compared to older breeds; other specific breeds are now used for egg laying because of better quality and dimension. The industry moved to better nutrients (for faster growth if not for health), more controlled raising facilities and more consistent feeding. Other than increased meat production, this had also other advantages: the risk of illness for industrial poultry decreased 66% in just two decades and the percentage of livestock loss during the rasing phase is now barely 1/5th of what used to be.

    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 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"...?)

    I will never purchase a vehicle that has any kind of subscription ever, if I'm driving a 40 year old car when I'm old then so be it, I hope I'm not alone, there is a demand for an affordable vehicle that doesn't have touchscreens and all these bells and whistles, but the manufacturers won't build them and I think it's to set us up to drive a bull s hi t monthly subscription vehicle.

    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
