@Sheril Here it is in multiple bar chart format, by me, quite a few years ago now. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-05/chart-of-the-day-plants-rule-carbon-weight-of-life-on-earth/10069684

@Sheril that is not a picture of sustainability.

to the small proportion of humans who will ever see the image, consider the implications of your own behaviours pictured. consuming animal products is the single perpetuator of the problem. which means for an individual there is one choice: fund this problem or defund this problem.

unsustainable means it has an imminent end. we will either end it by wilfully changing our behaviours, or it will end by collapsing our food systems.

@Sheril

Eat less meat, drink less milk, and use fewer eggs.

@Sheril @lisamelton and here we are, a few billion oafs, ruining everything for everybody and everything.

@Sheril is there a similar graphic that shows the portion of plant biomass that is made up of domesticated plants, especially crops?

@llewelly @Sheril I'd also like to see wild plants vs agriculture as a graph like this, if there is one.

@Sheril @mspro Two instant impressions: Viruses have most effective mass-impact ratio (from their point of view). And too few birds left!

@christianschwaegerl @Sheril @mspro It is mass, not numbers and birds prefer to be rather lightweight. 😂

@gevoel @Sheril @mspro Still far too few birds in absolute and relative terms ;-) ! Their head counts have gone down massively in past decades...

@christianschwaegerl @gevoel @Sheril @mspro not if you count caged chickens!

christianschwaegerl, 4 months ago

@ghorwood @gevoel @Sheril @mspro yes but category here is “wild birds”. ;)
