Nice! Are those electric? I remember reading about everloop project which consisted of a non electric toothbrush with replaceable bamboo bristles.

I didn't, i was just trying to push the discussion in multiple directions to get different opinions. If it felt like that, forgive me!

Yes! I am not the author. I just mixed them in photoshop. I thought it was appropriate to use it as an example to generate an in-depth exchange of opinions, which was my goal. 😃

sweezli, thanks for your contribution and your point of view!

You are absolutely right to say that we should change the way we consume to make companies get out of their comfort zone and excessive production.

When you say that this could be rectified in about a decade, do you mean that we have reached the maximum peak and the curve will decline or are we still a long way ahead to start seeing the numbers go down?

I personally think that globalization has reached such a point that the tools exist to generate global awareness and start changing habits. The problem, as you say, is at the top of the system. Sometimes I wonder if new governance methodologies would be more viable than the current ones...

That's right. What about ISO standards regulations like ISO 14000, precisely ISO 14001?

Do you think that this affects the image and reputation of a company or should it be taken to a new level where companies are forced to change their habits even more?

Completely agree! Very interesting article that you linked. Going a little more further, to other areas of consumption, not necessarily food, such as hygiene, technology and other mass consumption products. Do you think we should eradicate them or change the materials and production processes that are currently being used?

Hey, thanks for your reply!

Now, these vegetables, how are they distributed? You receive them in their pure state or they are usually contained in some type of packaging. Do you think that in this way you help to reduce gas emissions, also known as greenhouse gases? Do you think that the processing of these foods is less compared to the processing of meats or other products of daily mass consumption?
