i assumed we'd eventually force everyone to be vegan by lack of resources but if they want to self-own their way into it that's fine with me too

I am often invited to climate-themed dinners where I have to specifically request a vegan option, because the event isn't naturally vegan, which is always interesting to me...

For years - YEARS, maybe a decade - Republicans spent a bunch of time drumming up a panic that Democrats want to take away beef due to the impact cattle farming has on climate change. This was a real thing they used to whine about constantly.

here's a horrifying stat: textile waste in the U.S. has grown 80% between 2000 and 2018. so how are we going to keep it from choking landfills even more than it already has? nygroove.nyc/nyc-curbside...

The city is looking at the ‘next frontier’ of trash: your old clothes

A City Council bill would look into the idea of curbside textiles recycling, a new attack on the city's zero waste goals.

Was great to talk to Tim about the scourge of announcement noise pollution on NY transit. It not only causes travelers to tune out potentially important information and makes travel harder for the visually impaired and those who don't speak English as a first language, but also disrespects riders.

The assault of noise coming out of the speakers in the subway system can feel as random as it is grating, with an onslaught of PSAs and other announcements penetrating any moment of peace on a commute. But the issue reached a real breaking point a few months ago: ads.

Last year, the MTA announced it would test a pilot program piping 30 seconds ads into select stations and trains every 10 minutes or so, which would last until June. The implication was dire: we have you trapped, Black Mirror style, in a tube where you have to listen to commercials at a volume of our choosing.

“That’s really a step too far,” Blair Lorenzo, executive director of the Effective Transit Alliance, said. “You can look away from an advertisement … You really can’t turn off hearing. It’s exploiting people.”

had such a bad snackbar experience at 1 of the only movies I saw this summer that I packed my bag with $30+ worth of snacks only to be forced to spend $30 for spiderman because it was in RPX, a technology i do not understand the purpose of beyond that it makes the movie louder & more expensive
