Carbon Offsetting //part 1

Alright, so I have been thinking about ways to lower my carbon footprint for a long time; some of the ideas that are a little unconventional and experimental will maybe come later, i think for now it would be good to make a new beginning: let’s start from scratch. Since the topic of emissions, protection of environment is around for quiet some time; let’s look at the ways to offset/ mitigate the Co2 impact hat already exist (and are preferably proven to be effective). #1 pre-sort trash : the infrastructure for separated waste-streams was founded exactly as a reaction to the claim of a more environment-conscious government in the later 20th century)

#2 switch off the light :obviously the thing we get tought as a kid

#3 ventilate properly: also something that is practiced in most schools in austria; especially important during winter to not loose too much heat - it’s better to have the window open ALL the way for 5 minutes than tilt-opened for 30 minutes

#4 eat organic, local and fresh: quiet money consuming- so more or less a privilege for wealthy people to mitigate bad consciousness; I tried doing eating seasonal, local, vegetarian and without plastic packaging for a while in vienna; in short: a hell of an effort.

#5 don’t throw away one-way-plastic: in other words - don’t buy one way plastic because -what else are you going to do?; again; the alternatives are either expensive or not even existing; meaning you have to renounce certain aspects of “western” lifestyle or - if you want to call it like that - culture I think I’m gonna dedicate plastic an extra post maybe?

there’s of course a lot more, many people thinking about ways to be more accountable to sustainability but I notice that almost every way at the moment is either using time or money to use an alternative that saves carbon-based products or are engaging in a less carbon-rich processes or behaviours.

For now it is a problem, exclusive for people who can afford it; for me as a student who has not that much money it means if I want to offset my carbon-debt I will have at the end of the year I have to invest time.

Either investing time in searching for the best alternative with a student-feasable version of a “regular” product to buy or investing time in recreating the product with your own time and skill.

Being a little behind on getting my Llewellyn's Astrological Calendar this year, when I noticed a huge discounted price on Barnes & Noble's site, I ordered an extra one. I saw a huge box on my porch and I thought, "Surely they didn't send a calendar in this big box!". When I lifted it, there was a flat one (the usual calendar/album size) beneath it. I wondered what the heck did I order??? Getting them inside and opening them, I found that the calendars had been shipped separately, advertisements and all! The second one was securely packed, as you can see, by the packaging padding. This is just ludicrous and an exact example of what's wrong with our capitalist system. Who cares, right?!? It's only a tree. It's only a bit of land. It's only one stream. It's only one area of air. It's only part of the hemisphere. It's our only planet. #thereisnoplanet #overpackaging #overpacked #waste #wasteful #excess #ludicrous #ridiculous #packagingoverload #packaging #llewellynscalender #barnesandnoble #imboycottingamazon #taxevaders #netflixtoo #walmartjustbecause #payyourtaxes (at Algiers, New Orleans) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwBlHHAg14k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iikv2vu6ygpe
