Bruh how? You can get kilograms of dried beans for $10.

It’s more expensive for canned beans but for $10 are you eating 5 cans of organic beans a day?

Only if you’re American.

Damn I had to go to Europe to get my ass ate by a cryptid

There’s no way I’d use a grocery app. Paper and pen works well enough.

Most climate scientists say we need to make changes to our personal lives and changes to the system. If one lives in the overdeveloped world, one’s impact is potentially huge. There are basic things that make a difference: eat less meat from ruminants (beef, mutton), don’t fly, have fewer or no kids. Those are low hanging fruit, take little effort, and still leave time and energy for whatever system change tactic one wants to do.

I’ve encountered the term “Imperial mode of living” cited by Kohei Salto. Thanks for posting this interview.

Certainly the formula can be sharpened but it’s a decent heuristic for thinking about impact.

I = PAT

Impact is equal to population times affluence times technology.

Decreasing human population can help to decrease impact, as long as the smaller population doesn’t disproportionately increase its resource use (affluence x technology)
