It's Earth Day Tell us what are you doing to shit up the planet less for me:

  • low emission sedan and avoid driving at all if I can help it with E15 fuel
  • trash bags made from recycled LDPE
  • cat litter made from recycled paper which I compost
  • compost for organic trash
  • generate little trash to begin with
  • Grow my own food when I can
  • get clothes and other shit second hand when possible

do a bit of gardening when it's nice out. have a compost mostly for my coffee grinds. i am in the city so i walk everywhere.

i hate the idea of picking up trash because where i walk it's mostly junkies littering. on the path i walk, they removed the garbage cans because the junkies would tear them apart looking for cans. so now you don't even have anywhere to put your trash, and it's everywhere.
 
Is useless to do small shit like recycling when you have factories in China pumping contamination everyday, Indians shitting on the street and ruining fresh water sources, America deforestation, Brazil having wildfires in the Amazonas, etc.

You sorting your trash by plastic or not is ridiculously retarded in comparison.

Read that they don't even recycle most stuff anyway. Throwing everything in one bin without any regret.
 
I don't drive outside of work, I don't burn gasoline recreationally and this year I plan on planting dozens, maybe hundreds of trees via seedbombs.

I'm also planning to use local flora (ie "weeds") to improve the landscape in wealthy neighborhoods, suburbs and exurbs.

this pretty much. emission optimisations at the individual level are ridiculously ineffective.
like, india is building dozens of new coal power plants every year, belching out millions of tons of co2 in the process. meanwhile you recycled a paper bag and saved a few grams worth of CO2 by doing so. congrats i guess.

if real impact on global emissions is the goal, then the only way to get there is convincing all major polluting nations (usa, eu, china, india, russia) to enact harsh crackdowns against fossil power sources and phase them out wherever it's feasible, as fast as possible, replacing them with non fossil fuel alternatives.

in practice that would mean shutting down coal and gas plants across the globe, and the only way to replace them right now would be large scale construction of new nuclear power plants. but good fucking luck getting the brainless greens of the world to go along with tha lol
 
I try not roll coal anytime I pass a fat fucktard in Spandex on a bicycle. But if it's a group of them? Oh yeah, light the fucking after burners! Hey, I'm doing my part, okay?

I do recycle. I save homeless critters. I garden extensively. I catch and release a lot of fish. I keep the AC set at 80. The easy shit that I suppose somehow makes a difference in the long run, so I'm not a completely a lost cause.
 
I poured used motor oil on a "green space".

Not even CO2 that's the major issue. India and China are polluting the oceans and their land in ways Europe and the US didn't even do.
 
I recycle, even taking it down to the city recycling center.

Alas, protecting the environment doesn't apply to China or India, so it's all for naught. I had steak two nights this week. Bill Gates can blow me.
 
I try to fart aiming down so it doesn't go up into the atmosphere.
You're welcome father Earth. Except on Sundays,
cause that's my fun day.
My "I don't have to run" day

I gather cans when I'm out on my walks. We fill up at least two garbage bags' worth of cans to exchange them to the aluminum plant for money.
