🧌 healthy_planet 👣 @wyzc.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Peeling a cabbage layer by layer maintains the integrity of the vegetable better than cutting it in the middle. In order to preserve its freshness for longer, better to keep it intact than haphazardly cutting it. This is another example where efficiency compromises ecological considerations. 000 0

🧌 healthy_planet 👣 @wyzc.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Not saying that cutting down trees is carbon negative. Trees are carbon sinks. But compared to forest fires? Are the emissions from those accounted for? 100 0
🧌 healthy_planet 👣 @wyzc.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Depends on how the cutting is done, right? Harvest can be sustainble; how else have prehistoric humans survived on natural materials?

🧌 healthy_planet 👣 @wyzc.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Here it might be worth bringing up one of the Mahayana v Theravada distinctions, as far as i understand it to be: forgoing one's own enlightenment in service of the liberation of all sentient beings, as per the Mahayana tradition. Enlightenment being the awareness that attachment causes suffering. 001 0
🧌 healthy_planet 👣 @wyzc.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Actually, from the perspective of attachment: it is one's clinging to the current state of the Earth/environment, that causes suffering (ecological grief, eco-anxiety, and so on). Perhaps also greed! Greed for the persistence of the status quo. In other words, caring is painful. Because of want. 100 0

🧌 healthy_planet 👣 @wyzc.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Everything hinges upon units continuing to function. When one breaks down, it has to be replaced.

🧌 healthy_planet 👣 @wyzc.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Before the era of expiry dates and “best before”s, I’m sure we relied more on olfactory, touch, and even taste senses to determine if food has gone bad or not. Maggots are a clear visible cue! Other cues our vision can pick up include discoloration, or off texture, which can be indicators for mold. 000 0
🧌 healthy_planet 👣 @wyzc.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Maggots. I think they only come out at a very specific point in the decomposition process: just as food is breaking down, but hardly close to becoming the type of organic matter typically referred to as “soil”. Perhaps revulsion towards maggots is similar to repulsion against mold: very instinctual. 100 0
🧌 healthy_planet 👣 @wyzc.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Completed another round of air-drying. I've been rewearing clothes quite a bit: as long as they don't smell too bad or came into contact with a lot of dirt and/or sweat, it should be fine. 100 0
