I highly suggest @lilypollans book “Resisting Garbage” if this article made you feel stuff.
This is where the logic of planned obsolescence has landed us.
new: plastic producers have known for 30+ yrs that recycling is not an economically or technically feasible plastic waste management solution. but they promoted it anyway, a new @climatecosts analysis shows.

"We see methane leakage from pipelines & distribution infrastructure. Then there are massive emissions associated with #Plastic refining & production. Plastic is among the most energy-intensive & the highest-emitting among major industrial activities.”

What would degrowth look like in New York? Really looking forward to talking with Jamie Tyberg of @DegrowNYC, hosted by @woodbinenyc
My @UPP_Hunter students used @MaxLiboiron and Josh Lepawsky’s criteria of #discardingwell to critique and reimagine systems of urban consumption. The result was THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WASTING WELL.
Very excited to finally share it with the world !

This is not leadership
NYC mayor Eric Adams is demanding city libraries to cut their budgets by $13.6 million by the end of fiscal year 2023, and another $20.5 million over the next 3 fiscal years. This will be devastating for the services and operations of the library system.

People rightly disdain a price on carbon as being politically toxic and too weak to motivate systems change, but the new solution—technological substitution ("electrify everything" "remove everything else")—is itself only one part of systems change. Just so we're clear...

Billionaires are stupid, they are parasites, and they exist only because we allow them to.
