Republicans hate the idea that they may have to live within the earth's natural limits. Their cult rejects science because of bronze age myths.

But de-funding science and continuing to use five year's worth of resources every year hoping a sky fairy will fix it later is stupid, and irresponsible. And a lie.

No magic solution exists to our own greed and selfishness.

Centralized power generation being distributed over a large area is no longer smart, was never sustainable, and is now a big problem for expanding communities.

But profiteers don't' make money off local energy distributed locally via mesh networks of rooftop and small solar, residential wind, and other sustainable sources.

Their greed is limiting our options.

PODCAST:
We’re on the hunt for microplastics – and we won’t have to go far, as they’re present everywhere – in the soil, in the water, in the air, and in our bodies. We’ll be looking for systemic solutions & talking with Matt Simon, author of the book A Poison Like No Other.

Originally recorded on 7/10/25.

Warning: This podcast occasionally uses spicy language.

"When residents step up to fix something that’s clearly broken and the city’s response is to erase or punish that effort, it sends a message they probably don’t intend:

"We have more passion for defending our authority than meeting your needs."

Epic #sustainability fail: we've just bought 100x wifi access point mounting brackets from Tripp-Lite.

https://www.ballicom.co.uk/tripp-lite-enbrkt-eaton-network-device-mounting-.p1528001.html

It's literally a right-angle metal bracket. Incredibly tough and no moving parts.

But each one comes in it's own cardboard box with foam packaging, and a 16 page paper booklet contained in a plastic ziploc bag!

So now we have 100 plastic ziploc bags to get rid of, along with 100 cardboxes, 100 paper booklets, and 200 bits of foam packaging. All shipped from the US

We now report wagtail.org’s carbon footprint 0.06g of CO2 per page view for the homepage, scoring us a "A" rating on the Digital Carbon Ratings scale! More info: https://wagtail.org/digital-emissions/ #sustainability #ecoconception

Hallo @alxsim good morning and greetings from Uganda, am very happy to join this server and glad to see you as the admin.

I honestly respect your busy situation because am fully aware that administering a server may not be that easy as it seems.

Am reaching out to kindly ask you if we can have a brief discusion about #Ecology and #Sustainability especially their promotion in both schools and communities, just as associated with my org ( @ehsenvironmentalclub1 )

Wat do u think about this Alex?

If you missed the chance to join us at Quay Arts today, perhaps because you were soaking up the sun at the Chale Show, there's no need to fret. We're going to be at Ventnor Exchange on the morning of the August 23rd. Secure your place by booking at https://buytickets.at/repaircafeiow/1208692/r/mastodon

When are we going to standardise lithium ion battery sizes, like we did with nickel battery sizes, so that instead of having to throw away whole devices when they stop holding charge we can just replace them with another of a standard size?

I think my portable speaker's rechargeable battery is probably not going to last too much longer. I use it every day. But how can it make sense to throw away a whole portable speaker when only the battery is the problem??
