Ghana is drowning in the discarded remnants of FAST FASHION.

500,000 ITEMS of clothing waste are dumped WEEKLY in Accra, Ghana. The Global North’s fashion addiction is fueling an environmental disaster.

Sie erzählten mir, sie müssten die Getrieberollen der Rolltreppe von Zigarettenstummeln befreien. Im Bahnhof sei eigentlich Rauchverbot. 
Ich kommentiere das nicht weiter.

I'm watching TVO right now. There's an interesting film called "This Film is Garbage!". It's about issues surrounding our household waste. Quite interesting. Informative and also light hearted.

I'm convinced that the real innovation and the creativity necessary to survive the impending catastrophe will never come from places like Silicon Valley. It doesn't shine and it doesn't have world design conferences. It will come instead from the alleys of marketplaces, mostly (but not only) in the Global South.

I have spent the last 2 years focusing on waste management, especially that of Electronic Waste—from the mining of the resources to the discarding of the commodities, and while we are well aware of the pattern of disparity between the over-consumption in the Global North and overproduction in the Global Majority parts of the world, the problems largely still exists. Who to blame, somebody is surely making profits from this trade deal.
Anthropocene is a (Poubelle)ocene.
Certain headlines, like the one below, always make me feel disgusted, knowing that the patterns of dreadful and atrocious colonial practices are still prevalent. I am so perplexed as to what design thinking hat to put on or what circular economy principles to explain the exporting of trash to their previous colonies.
Not only that, but in a recent survey commissioned by the Repair Campaign (https://repaircampaign.org/), more than 2,000 people in the UK found that 85% did not know that more than 3 million people had been forcibly shipped from Africa to the Caribbean by British enslavers. It also found 89% were unaware British merchants had enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years.
As Dr. Shashi Tharoor has mentioned various times, "And LOOT, a Hindi word which the Britishers took into their dictionaries as well as their habit" (Link below of the talk of Dr. Shashi Tharoor - Looking Back at the British Raj in India at the University of Edinburgh)

The same coffee isle before single-use plastic Keurig coffee ‘convenience’ and after.
If you’re using Keurig you don’t give a fuck about the planet.
As per #alttext on pic-2, energy- and processing-wise, far more package than product.
Note as well how competition has taken a backseat to coddling brand giants looking to destroy the competitive market.
(Hello Tim’s: seen.)
Microsoft 14 października kończy wsparcie dla Windows 10 i namawia właścicieli około 240 milionów urządzeń, by je recyklingowali (wyrzucili?) i kupili nowe lapki czy pecetki. Nie da się zaktualizować do Windows 11 więc do kosza ...
No nie :)
Będzie wysyp fajnych maszyn dla Linuksa. Nie wyrzucaj, reinstaluj i używaj dalej.
To pójście ekosystemu Windows w stronę ekosystemu Androida. Producenci nie dostarczają nowej wersji OS, więc musisz kupić nowy telefon.
Jakimś dziwnym sposobem autorzy innych dystrybucji Android potrafią dostarczyć na te telefony nowe wersje. Przykładem LineageOs i wiele jego pochodnych, w tym mój ulubiony /e/Os.
Microsoft pozazdrościł producentom telefonów i próbuje tego samego z pecetami. Wyrzucić 3-letni fajny sprzęt i kupić nowy? Niedoczekanie.
Pamiętaj, kilkuletnie maszyny, czy to telefon, laptop czy blaszak, świetnie działają, można je naprawić, rozbudować, wymienić baterie, dodać ram czy szybszy dysk. Czy przeinstalować system operacyjny.
Sam na co dzień pracuję na laptopie, który ma ładnych kilka lat, dołożoną pamięć, nowy dysk, stację dokującą i 2 dodatkowe monitory. To samo telefony i tablety (mam ich kilka, ze względu na pracę). Drugi, zapasowy ThinkPad jest jeszcze starszy i świetnie działa (oba na linuksie). Podobnie serwer w domowym labie to starsza, świetna maszyna.
Nie daj się robić w balona.

Europe produces 5 tons of #waste per capita each year and exports a significant portion of it for other countries to handle. Can we reduce, reuse, and recycle our way out of this?
