I know public transit is great and we should invest in it more and make it better and more accessible (BELIEVE ME I know — I worked in public transit as operations/dispatch/IT for a while, and also didn’t get a license until I was 18 or a car until several years after, and mainly lived in areas with little/no transport before college)

But also you will pry my car from my cold, dead hands.

I grew up basically stuck at home with an abusive father who wouldn’t let me go anywhere, and finally getting a car was my “holy shit this is what freedom feels like” moment. I still sometimes drive to a restaurant over an hour away or to a different state for the day just because I can.

Not having the ability to do that would feel like suffocating.

You can have your public transit utopia and I can also still have my car. Those are things that absolutely can coexist.

Here’s the thing about the Twin AU that people aren’t considering: the Drs Fenton are resourceful! They can make amazing inventions out of household objects and machines!

So when they were accepting a contract from Ra’s to look at the Lazarus Pits in conjunction to their research (ie the best dissertation material ever) they looked at the spare twin that was being sacrificed and said “a perfectly good baby like that would probably be nice to have around!”

Sure, the Spare Heir was ecto contaminated because of the pits and that’s why Ra’s was getting rid of him, but seriously, not everything needed to be brand new these days! Upcycle! Science can fix all the ectoplasm and possession! He’ll be just like new in no time! Take that baby out of the pit and wash em up and take that baby to the Midwest! Teach that baby about stars and Ghosts!

The Drs Fenton take baby danny on their last day, knowing that the league thinks that he’s dead- already sacrificed, Ra’s felt the power shift of the Infinite Realms- and proceed forward like nothing was ever a big deal! They published their findings on the pits, they got another contract/grant and then began the journey to start moving towards their other projects!

Why tell Jazz, she’s only a toddler when they bring him home?

Why tell Danny, he’s just their little man, their Dann-o?

Things will probably be fine, because just like their up cycled machines and portals- an upcycled baby wouldn’t have any problems! Their inventions always worked perfectly! Their son would be just as perfect!

Cue the shenanigans of Damian and Danny meeting, the normal amount of “you’re the clone” finger pointing (which Danny wins because he has actual baby/childhood photos) and then some ghosts of assassins past trying to cause issues for Phantom.

#reduce reuse recycle #dc x dp fic #dp x dc #danny phantom #damian wayne #dc universe #dc x dp #the drs Fenton are actually so environmentally friendly for saving this demon heir baby #sure he’s gross and possessed but he’s still a perfectly good baby! science can fix the rest #Ra’s felt a power shift when Danny was dumped into the pits and presumed the baby didn’t make it #turns out that was Danny’s introduction to clockwork and he thought it would be funny to get this kid a new home in Illinois #demon heir twins #twin au #danny and damian are twins

i feel like i’m going insane, sustainability does not equal minimalism. neither does buying a bunch of overpriced shit that claims it’s “ethically sourced”. you know what’s sustainable? fixing shit around your house. thrifting. patching clothes and handing them down. a community garden. potluck dinner parties. farmer’s markets. a barter system among friends and neighbors. kindness. love among community members. capitalism is not sustainable, both in the environmental sense and the longevity sense.

like. buying from small businesses is a good place to start. as is larger businesses being as close to carbon neutral as possible. but materialism is what’s driving us as a planet into an early grave

People need to understand, the focus on individuals doing things to stop climate change is only problematic when it’s companies pushing that idea to distract from the fact that they’re the bigger polluters.

We need to to try and minimise our impact, especially if you’re in a higher emissions nation. In a similar vein, buying eco friendly, vegan and fair trade things are important too.

If you can see how donating helps a cause, then surely you can see how giving money to an unethical company hurts a cause right?

with all of this talk of climate + touring etc. i just wanted to post about reverb, an organization that partners with musicians, festivals, and venues to help make their concerts/events a little more environmentally friendly! they do some really great work, and i've always found their impact reports really interesting too 🤍 they've worked with artists such as the 1975, lorde, billie eilish, paramore, boygenius, among others! they're currently only accepting volunteers for the 1975's UK still... at their very best tour, but it's a great org to follow! 🤍

#post: personal #just like ! it is very easy 2 be intentional about the work u do and being as environmentally friendly as possible!#the 1975 lorde + billie eilish links lead to impact reports!#i don't think they have 2023 tour impact reports yet so the paramore + boygenius links aren't as descriptive

A lot of stuff I hear in sustainability circles is oh, I still live at home what can I do?

Besties there is so much you can do.

You got chores? Dishes one of them?

You can fill up the sink with water and wash with just that. Less water than constantly running

I find that gross but my grandma does it. When I do dishes I use a jar with a drop of soap, fill it with water, and dip my scrub brush in that so I'm not wasting soap.

Dry dishes with a towel

Air dry your dishes

You can also ask if you can keep a potted plant (edible plants are bonus points) or a garden

Also bonus points if you use food scraps for a garden. That's a whole topic for another post another day but seriously look into it

Or you can trade plants with friends and neighbors

Or steal cuttings

You can wash your clothes on cold, ask if you can hang dry your clothes

You can use eco friendly laundry detergent, or just start using the actual amount needed. That stuff is so concentrated it isn't even funny

Use reusables whenever you can

Try to eat less processed foods

Try to eat more plant based

Try to limit your car trips

Take walks and pick up litter

Go to the beach and pick up litter

Bonus points for separating recyclables

Learn to repair your clothes, a basic sewing kit should be all you need for simple mends

Shop at yard sales, thrift shops, second hand, or local

Shampoo bars

Soap bars

Yes including hand soap

Weave baskets out of toilet paper rolls. No idea how you do it but I've seen it and they look pretty cool

Learn an "old fashioned" skill, like spinning yarn, canning, gardening, basket weaving, wood carving, etc

Try to be creative!! So much about Solarpunk and sustainability is about being creative with your solutions

This week I went back to visit the discussion in the notes on @seaweed-solarpunk’s post on solarpunk fashion. I collected all the suggestions in reblogs and tags and tried to find common themes to organize into a concept map. This is just my interpretation, but I think the three most important tenets of solarpunk fashion are eco-friendliness, inclusive design, and personal significance.

[image ID: a colorful branching concept map where the central idea is Solarpunk Fashion, and the three main branches are in primary colors. Where the branches connect and overlap, the color changes to a secondary color between the primaries. All text in the bubbles is listed in the text to follow. End ID]

Eco-Friendly

• Local sourcing

• Biodegradable textiles

• Durable

• Closed-loop production

• Biomimicry

- Integrated biotechnology

- Upcycled electronics

• Heirlooms and Secondhand

- Thrifted

- Hand-me-downs

- Dumpster-dived

- Clothing swaps

Inclusive Design

• Body-type inclusivity

• Accessibility

- Decorated disability aids

- Physical comfort (including for those with sensory issues)

Personal Significance

• Radical authenticity

- Genderfuckery

- Rejection of mega-corporations

• Handmade/modified

- Small practices

- DIY

- Visibly mended

• Culture

- Religious symbols

- Pride flags

- Traditional dress

I’d love to hear what the solarpunk community here thinks of this framework, what you’d keep, remove, or change.

You do not need to advertise using the train to me. You do not need to encourage me to use public transport. I already want to. I am desperate.

You DO need to make it so that the train is not 3-5x as expensive as driving. You do need to make it so I can get to the train station without driving and paying a zillion quid for parking. You do need to make it so that trains arrive regularly and at sensible times with connections. You do need to make journeys not take 6 times as long. You do need to make them accessible for those with disabilities. You need to pay your staff and drivers.

I don't know how I can be clearer. LET ME GET THE BUS AND TRAIN.

really wish celebs who are already disgustingly wealthy would stop creating “environmentally friendly” makeup/skincare brands and realize that the more environmentally friendly thing to do is to simply stop creating new makeup/skincare brands all together

#celebs will say “my brand is environmentally friendly meanwhile some girl in an exploited country is doing slave labor for them still

We've really gotta work on taking the elitism out of being environmentally conscious. EVERY little bit matters, and I really mean that.

Could only pick up trash along the road for 10 min? IT COUNTS

Could only get in touch with one local rep? IT COUNTS

Can only grow one or two native plants where you live? IT COUNTS

Can only carpool to work one day a week? IT COUNTS

Can only afford one cheap diy rain barrel for your garden? IT COUNTS

Can only have a small compost pile where you live? IT COUNTS

The belief that if you only do something on a small scale is somehow worthless is WRONG.

Every step you take or info you pass along HAS AN IMPACT. It is good and so are you.

A detective who regularly investigates weird and inventive murders decides to start a blog…

Unfortunately rather than writing about his job, he decides to write about his interests: a collection of the most boring subjects known to man.

#welcom to this #my stealth death in paradise post that anyone can enjoy #I know next to none of you watch death in paradise but this is genuinely a through line they have going right now and it fucking rules #my guy (a man with four friends) started this week’s episode complaining that only four people had read his blog #and by the end of the episode even his massively supportive friend group don’t seems to be able hack it anymore #because by the end of the episode being read by one lone fringe weirdo #Nevil I of all people love and support your autistic ass but more people will read your blog if you mention your work some times #that said I would quite like to know if he told the blog that the environmentally friendly mosquito repellent didn’t work #or if he’s pretending it did for the sake of his public image and the hope of getting brand sponsorship #death in paradise

It's been a long time since I found a home made of recycled material and this one is exceptional. You gotta see this ecologically friendly, unique home, known as The Treehouse. Built in 1943 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, it has 3bds, 2ba, and is only $299,900.

If you've never seen one before, an upcycled home made of architectural salvage and recycled material is an interesting mix of various unique salvaged elements.

What an appropriate sign- "Humble." It's just a house made of humble inexpensive or free discarded and reused material. Note the 3 different colored glass windows. I bet they have some interesting stories.

The fireplace could be made from leftover bricks.

On the other side is the kitchen with an island made of window panes, and miscellaneous wood, plus a counter. You have to be creative to put all the pieces together to make a home like this.

Oh, I like the red cabinets on the right.

The cooktop is in the island and it looks like pieces of quartz or marble. Note the interesting cabinets and shelves. The ceiling has a delightful configuration.

They've got a water dispenser next to the fridge. I love houses like this.

Looking from the kitchen to the dining area. Wow, they even scored a double red sink. Note the cabinet that the cook top is in- things don't have to match.
