This is almost literally the process Coca-Cola uses for its Smartwater brand. People outside Coca-Cola have described the process of removing everything then adding it back as dumb though. I wonder why
Most supermarkets here (Germany) are actually optimizing their supply chains to reduce plastic around produce again — this was definitely worse in the late 2000s/early 10s. But you can now often buy packaging-free cucumbers, for example. No doubt though, they still use metric shit tons of single-use paper and plastic everywhere. At least to some degree they are just optimizing for customers to see less of it.
Why in the name of Deity do those shirt designers always insist on illegible novelty fonts that look like garbage? Just put Helvetica or Futura or, heck, OCR-B on there, make sure the kerning is correct, and be done.
That would only work if there was a majority for left-wing policy. Simply having a president who's further on the left would not actually change that much of they have to find compromises with people who don't care about the physical reality.
So this is what happens when package maintainers fail to find the problematic bits during package updates. I'll be honest, after seeing how Linux package management is done (automation and semi-automation galore) and by whom (people who often don't know the programming language of the source and who don't have much time either), I am more surprised that it took this long.
Washing and reusing is much more environmentally friendly than recycling. It may be more expensive because of the current societal/legal environment but given the right incentives, it doesn't have to be.
What a terrible article. Trying to instill FOMO just because the Chinese are coming for it!!!!, despite the technology being destined to be exclusively used for rich people's toys.
"This brave new world of personal transport is acting as a great leveller," said aviation consultant Steve Wright.
Compared to cars: Energy consumption is much higher. Physical space use is higher. Material use is higher. Steering difficulty is higher. Insurance rates are going to be much higher. (...)
The Chinese have copied car-building techniques through the JVs Western companies established in China. However, the Chinese have also been heavily funding research into batteries and electric cars for decades. So, to a much larger degree the electric bits are actually their own inventions.
I know you write that to debunk the blame-shifting BS from the person above you and thank you for that. I would like to make a different point though: Plastic straws would have never become an issue if companies like McDonald's hadn't started to hand them out with every single drink for absolutely no reason. If they'd instead been used to allow disabled people to drink more comfortably, all would have been good. But consumers want, and in some cases, expect certain conveniences and companies are more than happy to feed our overconsumption.
Totally agree, except: Ads are completely viable. The industry wants to sell creepy ads though. Not because they're actually much better at convincing people to buy shit (which is something they can't measure properly) but because clients pay more for them
Don't do this in a Hosts file unless you absolutely have to because of your device type. Block those domains using an ad blocker instead, so you can opt in when a website actually breaks. (It's not that often because all those external dependencies are usually completely extraneous. But it does happen.)
So, South Pole are the fine folks who figured out that you could make big monies selling fake CO2 certs to the world's biggest companies, right? Are we still listening to their expertise?
I think there's some rhyme and reason to it: France has limited insight into random manufacturing operations somewhere in Asia, so it can't directly regulate there. That's especially true if the clothing is sold by a Chinese platform as well which I don't expect to care much about the EU supply chain regulation either.
