The year 2024 must be a turning point for shifting policies away from gross domestic product and towards sustainable well-being. Here’s why and how.
On a mission to have a sufficiency #wardrobe and limit my #carbon#emissions I did a #closet#audit. Turns out I own 30 pairs of pants: 2 white, 6 green, 6 brown, 7 black and 9 blue?!? This is not counting pjs, capris, sweatpants, yoga pants or leggings. People I’m not even fashionable and I could wear a different pair every day of the month! 🫣
The brutal part is that I wear 5/30 99% of the time. One pair I have never worn. Several really don’t fit. I could get by without experiencing any sacrifice on 1/6th of my #pants collection! #sustainable#fashion#closetcleanout
Off-grid villages are popping up around #Ontario.
"Provincial inspectors have visited some of the controversial off-grid communities being built in the northern Ontario wilderness.
At least one of these new villages welcomes the government oversight...
"The government has been nothing but helpful to us, because they just provide us with more information about how we can move forward with the project.""
Revolutionising Future Refrigeration Systems With A New Cooling Mechanism❄️
#ResearchLuxembourg
scientists have designed a regenerator that could replace the conventional compressor and the environmentally harmful fluids in current refrigerators, providing a more #energy efficient and #sustainable cooling solution.
Mulched beds, borders and (young) shrubs and trees. Exhausted now and all of our own #compost used up. Vegetable garden mulched a couple of weeks ago already. In all I had about ¾ of a cubic metre of compost. Not enough.
"Experts argue that 21st-century Canada needs more diverse housing.
'We’d want to have four, six, eight, 12-story apartments that are able to be built close to public transit. I think the place where you’d start with would be apartment buildings,' Whitzman said."
@senanthic I certainly understand the desire to have space around your residence and the lack of any kind of garden is for me, the only downside to apartment living. Still, I don't see single-family homes as being #sustainable in the long run. So many toxins being used to maintain weed-free lawns. Existing, energy-efficient houses should be retained, where feasible. But multi-family homes are probably the future.
Collecting Kelp on the Maine Coast. Lobster fisherman Steve Train and his daughter (my friend) Hattie are farming kelp in the off season. Seaweed is a fast-growing and versatile protein source. Growing the stuff is remarkably straightforward: Farmers cast seedlings out on ropes and submerge them until they’re ready to harvest a few months later. The market, which stood at $15 billion two years ago, is projected to hit $24.92 billion in 2028. #sustainable#kelp#maine
#Greenwash bullshit claiming "I'm A Living Green Wall" on a cardboard wall to which dead, dried & dyed moss has been hot-glued. The fake "#LivingGreenWall" is inside a retail outlet of a large (€15 billion revenue, 100,000 employees) multinational. There is no natural light, with plastic plants decorating the café and lobby.
The bullshit undermines their many #sustainable & #circular retail claims, and ridicules genuine #ClimateCrisis responses.

Auf einem 10 Jahre alten Desktop-Computer für Bürozwecke mit 8 GB RAM und einer 4-Kern-CPU ohne Hyperthreading habe ich einige Linux-Distributionen ausprobiert, um zu testen, ob man damit noch gut arbeiten kann.
Wie erwartet, liefen #GNOME und #KDE nicht ganz flüssig (getestet unter #DebianLive).
An MX Linux hat mich anfangs gestört, dass die von XFCE gewohnten Tastenkürzel (wie z.B. Alt-F10 zum Maximieren eines Fensters) nicht funktionierten. Die Lösung dafür war schnell gefunden:
Startmenü → Einstellungen → Fensterverwaltung → Tastatur → Klick auf [Auf Standardwerte zurückstellen].
California Bicycle Coalition / #CalBike 2024 Summit Advance Session "Success Stories from San Diego" included a presentation by Bike SD's ED Anar Salayev. He referred to importance of recognizing needs of small businesses while advocating for changes that make streets safer for people who bike & walk.
