Something I'm pondering as I drink my cappuccino this morning:
I switched to oat milk because it's better for the environment than cow milk.
But my oat milk comes in plastic or plastic-coated containers.
A local farm sells its cow milk in reusable glass bottles. And because it's local, it doesn't need to be shipped as far as the oat milk. (Distance: 50 miles vs 350+ miles.)
So, taking packaging and transportation into account, is it better to buy the cow milk or the oat milk??

@kzeta On every environmental metric plant based milks score above dairy milks: https://ourworldindata.org/environmental-impact-milks Food miles and packaging tend to get more attention because they are most visible to consumers, but actually make up a relatively small proportion of the overall carbon footprint of animal products. The book How Bad Are Bananas has a good breakdown of the carbon footprints of various foods but may be a bit out of date by now

@kzeta sorry to resurrect a zombie thread, but I finally found the graph I was looking for showing the relative impact to transport emissions for dairy and various other foods https://interactive.carbonbrief.org/what-is-the-climate-impact-of-eating-meat-and-dairy/index.html#:~:text=The%20chart%20below%20shows%20how%20much%20travel%20emissions%20contribute%2C%20on%20average%2C%20to%20the%20total%20greenhouse%20gas%20emissions%20per%20kilogram%20of%20different%20foods.

@kzeta And it conveniently links to one with date for packaging too! https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local

Fu un grande del suo tempo, fece cose mirabili, ma sapeva dove viveva e in che epoca.
Provare a tirargli fango mi pare davvero ingeneroso.

Caso di studio sulla comunicazione politica. Ci sono video in cui il non detto fino a ieri pesa più di quanto detto oggi, poi ci sono video che all'apparenza sembrano chiacchiere inutili ma in sostanza ti fanno prendere pernacchie da destra e da sinistra, e infine ci sono video che gettano il marchio dell'ipocrisia sula persona che li mette in circolazione, sul partito in cui milita e le istituzioni che serve. E poi c''è Pina, che li riunisce tutti in un solo messaggio.

@mora @quinta sarò ingenuo, ma io non credo che sia così. L'Europa è stata voluta altrimenti non si sarebbe fatta. Finora è convenuto più o meno a tutti, anche a chi fa guerra ibrida all'Europa (per poi in realtà mandare oligarchi a investirci dentro). Mettendo da parte l'Italia e le dovute fluttuazioni nel corso dei decenni, il tenore di vita medio in Europa è migliorato.
Nell'ipotesi peggiore, ovvero che l'Europa è solo un bancomat, beh, pur sempre meglio di niente. Chissa dove saremmo senza.

Good. Welcome to the dark side and we have cookies.
I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too. CheckMag With the growing number of users jumping from Windows to Linux, I decided to fully take the plunge and dive deep into the Open Source ocean. A few months and several headaches later, it has proved to be the best computer-related decision I've made in over a decade (and perhaps in my entire life). https://www.notebookcheck.net/I-dumped-Windows-11-for-Linux-and-you-should-too.1190961.0.html
