Like a portable one?

Good for them, keep it up

Oh baby I love bidets. When I was in Mexico and used them my life changed. When I eventually own my own home I’ll be installing one.

What you’re saying is that Canadian companies follow the lead of American companies, and that all lack integrity regardless of which country they come from.

I agree that the world needs to get over its reliance on America. I also believe that you need to take stock of where you’re currently at and work from there.

This isn’t necessarily American, just typical popular marketing strategy. It’s a Canadian product.

(it’s good TP)

Hahaha I haven’t got enough experience with either to know but I’ll tell you that my booty don’t hurt after use

Damn, Braiding Sweetgrass is on my list, now I need to add Moss as well haha. The list won’t stop growing!

At an accelerating rate that is out of sync with our own population growth*

I was wondering the same thing, thanks for the stats.

We could get into the nitty gritty and determine how many chickens an average person eats etc, and maybe we’d find that they’re actually growing at a reasonable rate in comparison to one another, but at first glance these numbers do suggest that we’re killing animals at an accelerating rate.

I’m not vegan but I’ve greatly reduced my meat intake in the past few years, I only really eat it when I’m out and about. This decision was party made because I care about the environment, but this definitely is not the case for many people, so how could they be convinced? A mass marketing campaign aimed at disgusting them?

I read Nudge and enjoyed it, despite agreeing with many of the criticisms of it. The writing style was accessible and entertaining, so I’ll probably check this out.

Both efforts are intertwined and can run in parallel

I noticed there is an animist community here, that’s something I’d like to learn more about. I believe it’s about respecting non-living things? It reminds me of the Japanese idea of tsukonogabi, where items gain a spirit after 100 years.

They even have a cool map that really helps visualise the scale of the network: https://wearetheark.org/map-of-arks/

I enjoy philosophy, thank you!

Thank you Solo 🙏

Yeah, it’s similar to the debate around whether paper bags or tote bags are more eco friendly. As others mentioned here in regards to dishwashers, what likely matters most is how many times an item must be used before it offsets the environmental cost of it’s own production.

Sadly even if you reject the receipt in my regular shops they still get printed, the staff just toss them instead.

A wide adoption of a digital alternative would be great. It of course opens up questions around the impact of hosting them digitally, but I’m optimistic that would cost less than all the unnecessary paper, especially if the service was hosted on renewable power.

And you get a delicious bread treat after your meal ;)

Another win for the EU! Forcing Apple to adopt USB Type C was such a huge triumph also.
