Unfortunately extremely high water usage to grow cotton, and a lot of it is grown in places that need that water for other things (RIP Aral Sea).
Based on the article we should use flax aka linen, which I suppose makes sense. Linen was once a finery due to the excessive effort needed to produce it, but now we have machinery.
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
I buy very few clothes, so I save up to spend more on ones I think will last longer.
It’s very burdensome when something doesn’t last long enough to reach that price-equilibrium point compared to simply purchasing more, cheaper clothing.
I am currently almost out of socks and panties because of this :(
That is correct.
Ethics come at a premium. Ethics are a luxury good.
It is a pretty good article but I have some nitpicks:
They say both that you cannot decide in a vacuum and fast fashion uses synth materials to make disposable clothing. I think given these two ideas, the carbon usage for one garment of wool vs one garment of nylon should include all the “waste” garments produced as well. Since, when you buy from a company that practices this, the impact is from the whole process, as they are keen to point out. That includes the sweatshop to landfill garments.
Personally I like not wearing a microplastics generator.
I am also curious about hemp clothing.
There are mulesing free certificates, and some companies go the extra mile.
Varusteleka is pretty open about their wool, but they don’t have the biggest selection.
(varusteleka, I’ve called you out twice on this account, sponsor me lmao)
Socialization and temperament, plus some kitties are real snugglebugs lol
Ears neutral, whiskers forward, mouth closed.
All signs of friendliness and acceptance.
Eyes are fully open so kitty is aware and alert, but pupils aren’t in attack mode.
Seems fine, kitty is probably going to be annoyed about the whisker touching if it keeps happening tho.
It shouldn’t matter as long as the sites are developed only with open standards.
We already have webcompat for anything truly broken.
That’s right.
They supply their military as well as sell things for civilians.
Varusteleka, and you can also get a wool hoodie, wool pants, wool socks, etc.
You can also get shipping by re-pack so the packaging is not wasted either, it goes back to posti for delivery back to businesses.
BIFL shipping packaging haha.
No, these devices hold water at the appropriate temperature for long periods of time using extremely good insulation. They provide hot water on-demand after reaching temperature and are used in a way that is somewhat different from kettles.
Because the structure the government set in place prioritizes the biggest heaviest vehicles over smaller cars that are more fuel efficient in absolute terms, but are disqualified due to not meeting the exponential curve of MPG per lbs that make up the limits.
I never have been able to.
I used to be able to boil my water with electrons from a nuclear reactor.
Now that I moved, all my electrons get excited by high tech coal… Oh…
Since you’re talking specifically about the presidential election, I actually am helping my candidate, since if I and others can get 1% of the popular vote for someone, then they can get easier access to ballots, debates, and federal funding next time.
You can always skip offices that don’t have a good candidate.
Spoiled votes are tracked as a separate statistic!
Sometimes I have to write someone in, but it still counts as a vote!
You guys were voting based on “lesser of two evils” and not based on who you actually like?
I’ve always just voted for the guy I like best. I never felt that voting tactically was truthful.
If everyone was like me we’d have a nicer political climate, I think.
I’ll keep doing that so you can feel free to join me in doing that until we reach the critical mass point.
I actually believe that constitutionality is an important factor in our system of checks and balances.
Unfortunately we haven’t been very good at amending the constitution in recent history so we can’t add new checks and/or balances.
No one wants to do so because it means relinquishing some power, and possibly loosing marketshare uh I mean voter approval.
Yeah the tradition scrutiny is concerning but there’s not much to do about it.
It seems that strict scrutiny would still have been serviceable.
Big Journalism wants you to believe journalists are subject matter experts. They’re not.
