That’s such a cool perspective, I’ve never seen it that way before! It is true that humans aren’t “naturally” vegan, it’s most likely that our ancestors have eaten meat for the majority of our existence. It is also true that we don’t need to eat meat or dairy products and there is evidence that consuming milk and eggs is harmful for our bodies. Tbh, I would still consume dairy if not for the harm that dairy industry does to the environment and the animals they harvest from.
So it seems my weekend plans have evolved to include topping up my spice and (homegrown) herb mixes rather than going down the pub.
Is this adulting?
wrt the permafrost melting: i read it as they didnt anticipate such a drastic melt, like there was fucking tons of water and they only planned for a reasonable amount of climate change
that’s kind of what i would’ve thought except the person’s exact quote was “It was not in our plans to think that the permafrost would not be there and that it would experience extreme weather like that” and like. you didn’t plan for the permafrost to not be there?
them not expecting such a drastic melt all at once makes sense though
Another thing I'd like to see happen is research not being done solely for profitable things, so people could pursue their passions and not have to work for big companies, and diseases could get cured even if it doesn't make money. Idk I'm bad at wording things but I love this concept
one thing id like to see in a better society is like public workshops. like instead of everyone having to buy a power saw that they only use like once a year, there’d be a public building that provides a place for people to build things. idk just a thought
If I ever have my own place I'm gonna use the skills I learned building robots to divert grey water (like bath water or washing machine water) to my gardens but to do that I'd probably have to invest in biodegradable soap
Ooh I remember loving Story of Stuff! We watched it in 6th grade science class and I ended up writing an essay inspired by it in my environmental class a couple years later.
my 8th grade social studies teacher showed it to us and it kinda kicked off this super liberal hippy activist stage of my life (i did a lot of stupid shit during that phase but it was mostly with good intentions)
Our bluefin tuna populations are dwindling. Oh no :(
