Thanks for that link mudsticks that was a really interesting read and it's good to know that 75 percent of aluminium that's ever been produced is still in use today.
No worries,
Anything to avoid having to go out to work in the (much needed) rain..
This discussion reminds me of the one that those of us in the agroecological farming world have rather regularly.
We're often dissecting the minutiae of what we do, and how we operate .
Could we adjust ourselves to be 'even greener' work that bit harder to become even more ecologically benign.
We get tied up in knots over recyclable versus biodegradable packaging, and any number of other issues around soil care, ecology, productivity etc etc.
Were generally trying our best though, within the limits of possibility, right now.
But in a world currently set up so as to make nearly everything we're trying to do, to do better, doubly hard.
But if we stick our heads above the parapet, and critique the present state of play.
We immediately get charged with 'hypocrisy' because we're not being whiter than white in
every single aspects of our lives.
As if one is only allowed to criticise a system if one is living totally outside of it.
Which is clearly nonsense if you think about it for a nanosecond
As ever there's a lot more, that a lot of people could do..
Perfectionism, being the enemy of 'much better'
Including, most vitally imo voting in governments that do actually give a shoot, about this stuff, and holding them to account .
Oh well , waterproof on >>>>
"No such thing as bad weather --
There's only, being dumb enough to go out in it "
