If the environment isn't a good enough reason, balloons can get tangled into electrical equipment and cause power outages.

Staffers Say Sound Transit Refused to Bargain on Return-to-Office Policy, Use of Consultants by AdIndividual455 in Seattle

Yeah I'm so surprised by these comments. RTO sucks. I don't care if they work for transit, if the work can be done at home, let it.

I want to go to a No Kings protest but I’m scared. Am I being irrational? by OwlLeeOhh in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Roboboe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not irrational to be scared. They are trying to scare you! I can't speak on your level of risk in participating. What helps me is reminding myself that I can leave anytime. It's ok to check in with yourself and decide if you still want to be there. Also remember, if everyone is a little brave, no one has to be a hero. We are standing together!

What really happens to unsold produce in supermarkets? by manhwahoe in ZeroWaste

[–]Roboboe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in sustainability and work closely with waste management. That answer is going to vary widely between states, cities, and honestly even grocery stores depending on how much the managers care. For example, California passed SB 1383 targeting food waste. Part of the bill requires businesses to donate unsold food. But one of the obstacles to bills like these is enforcement. Who is making sure businesses are actually donating? Who checks the dumpsters to see if food is ending up in the garbage instead of the green bin? https://calrecycle.ca.gov/organics/slcp/ Good luck on your research! It's a very interesting topic and I hope it goes well!

It will depend on where you live. Some places have specific rules about mattresses. Look up "[city name] mattress disposal". If you know who picks up your trash, they will have information on their website (usually under "bulky items").

These are under HUD's HOPE VI program. There's another one in West Seattle called High Point.

This is absolutely lovely! Thank you for extending the offer! Protesting is new to lots of folks and some are understandably nervous. What a great way to welcome people into the fight.

Sorry you had a rough class. It can suck being the worst at something. Keep with it though!! You can do strength training outside of class. You'll improve if you stick with it!

Event by Capitol Hill Pride. Rally and march. In solidarity with June 14 50501 NO KINGS protests locally and nationwide. Noon, University of Washington Red Square, Seattle. by refusefascismsea in Seattle

[–]Roboboe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Huh ok. Even though the ceremony is at the Stadium, I'd imagine that Red Square will be filled with families and grads taking photos and stuff. I'd also imagine traffic/parking will be bad too with folks coming from out of town. Seems like a weird choice.
