I'm not arguing in favor of the GP's specific proposals, just pointing out that we should consider the displacement of fuel burning when we consider the carbon cost of plastics. I assumed that his suggestion was not…
Interesting, thanks
We could instead assume that you are either very ignorant or just talking crap.
No. Doctors who qualified in a different country cannot simply start working. They have to do expensive and time consuming training to convert their credentials. This is partly because it's very important your doctor…
> I don't think the limit on trainees has any effect on salary This is far from true. On the margin, doctors can work in the private sector or leave the country. Only a few choose to do so, but this is (among other…
> I don't recall much if any opposing new coal plants. I can't argue with your subjective recollections, but this is not by any means an accurate picture of environmentalism historically. Acid rain in West Germany…
But if you have a web client and app store apps, which are frontends to the same thing, doesn't that mean that your site is still constrained by the app store rules?
> You can't assume losing half of staff is a downside. Said Elon Musk about Twitter. How's that working out for him?
Corporations decided to give away the single-use plastic bags for nothing when this was allowed. If they wanted to increase their profits like this, they could have just stopped giving them away for free.
Do you wash your clothes after wearing them? Maybe you should start wearing single-use plastic clothes since it's obviously much better for the environment.
I don't really agree with the point about anti-nuke environmentalism. In the past many environmentalists were opposed to both nuclear energy (because of the risk of Chernobyl-style disasters or because of the implicit…
I mean, if you use it less, it will wear down slower. Nothing to worry about.
What about yard waste? Your original claim was 'almost all' so if you're just talking about plastic I think I'm quite right to question what you 'heard from the garbage guy'.
The headline says 'plastic recycling' whereas the GP's claim was about recycling and yard waste in general.
> Much of Europe Single-use plastic shopping bags are banned or levied in much of Europe.
This is very dubious. Unless paper bags are produced using timber from first-growth forests, growing and then cutting down the trees that were used to make them took carbon out of the atmosphere. When the paper bag…
But fossil fuel production is also hideously polluting, and ends us with the carbon from the oil in the atmosphere. Producing plastic from oil means that those molecules won't (typically) end up as greenhouse gases.
That's not the right analysis. If the hydrocarbons in the ground don't get used for making plastic, they are very likely to be burned for energy. So waste plastic reduces the CO2 emitted by that process.
How do you know?
I really don't think those graphs make that case, although it seems they are trying to. Organic cotton is ahead of plastic for greenhouse gases after 149 uses. That's a small number of uses for a cotton tote bag, which…
surely the more of these they send, the less likely you are to click on them
So they are trying to get the law passed, despite the obvious objection that message filtering is impossible, by saying "we know it's impossible but we would like to have the legal right to do it in case it becomes…
Why don't they use a more obscure domain for internal corporate communication and keep the widely recognized one for messages to end users? Is it just the vanity that people who work there like to be…
The email allows you to enter a new password, it doesn't validate some other access to your account by clicking yes.
The GP is talking about a situation where you are not asked for an email address. You ask for a password reset for the username @coolanonguy. The website tells you that the reset email was sent to an obscured email…
