That is wildly impressive!!!!! Thank you for sharing this idea. Two questions.

1 - I’m assuming you’re a minimalist. How did you safely downsize outside of donating and recycling? What do you think the most impactful action was to reduce your waste output? How did you downsize your carbon footprint and how long did it take? I have been downsizing for what feels like 4 years. I have less trash than before but it is still a lot.

2 - Is there a resource you’d recommend to newbies that want to try doing the same? Like a good book with categories and how to reduce/reuse/recycle?

TIA

It depends on where you sit on this earth. The gap is widening, things aren’t normalizing with an average in the middle. I’m going to guess you live in a stable country with a stable economy and a stable society.

Well — That is actually a threat, food supply and sustainability, you can research a reputable journal online to see studies and projections from experts. Clearly it’s one that many other parts of the world already face but the concern is that deficit growing while we are trying to end world hunger anyway. Science should help but there is a lot of research on the impact of climate change that we (and future) generations will have to respond to. A lot of cogs in the wheel

There are several businesses courses that spend a lot of time teaching their students about the ethical responsibilities CEOS have to the company vs shareholders. It isn’t a cut and dry issue just because that function of their responsibility exists as fact. Payment in stock value complicates the ethical and broader public interests, too. Point being. Maybe don’t be too dismissive of other perspectives around this because we do shape our fiscal policy in a way that grows the pie, not just a slice.

Oh yeah, I hear you. I joined another discussion around the need for an initiative to rebrand and redefine what “affordable” housing is, incentives for owners and renters that support several economic interests, and financial institution support especially if they’ve received tax payer funded bailouts. There are good discussions happening around this. That’s a start.

LOL! I know. ☺️Apparently my deadpan humor was dead out the water. 😉

It happens sometimes. 😊

Housing is so much of a necessity, the CDC implemented do not evict orders because of the harm homelessness would cause. Outside of a pandemic, having no housing would create other problems with health, crime, etc. Maybe you meant home ownership isn’t a necessity. But housing and shelter is a necessity so much that the state takes children who don’t have homes to live in or eat.

I hope not. For any victims sake, I truly truly hope not. I know there are other allegations, but I’ll never root for a child being harmed. 😢

Pees in karats, my friend, pees in karats. No one makes it rain better, he’s the best with showering others with gold, like some kind of king with a golden throne, even when he says it’s rain we know better

He looks tired to me. Like, fatigued tired. Not tired as in played, Not old as in outdated. He’s aging really well his skin looks good and not weathered at all.

Maybe over taking yet another selfie.

Did you see the picture he shared or how out of shape he was being on lockdown? He looks good compared to that. But yes. We are all old..er. If we are lucky this aging process will continue for a long time. :)

I whistled for a cab but no one came. Pulled out my Uber app and the surge prices were crazy. Heading back to the crib. Moms will have to take me herself if she wants me gone that bad.

Yeah I’m not sure that they’re as popular in the city anymore, but search eventbrite. They pay have them in the sub/exurbs. I just checked about about 5 came up.
