"[M]eeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.โ€

A PieFed commuity dedicated to promoting sustainability and sustainable development.

For discussion of environmental, climate, clean energy, social, political, and individual action. A place for news, education, questions, and discussions.

Rules:

  1. Don't be a dick.
  2. If it fits an UN Sustainable Development Goal, it's probably welcome.
  3. Links to articles should leverage the original article title. Minor edits in [square brackets] for clarity/to reduce clickbait are probably fine.
  4. We all know corporations & governments are the main problem, and collective action + legislation is the best path forward. That said, someone needs to show support for a more sustainable market - to that end, discussion of individual action is encouraged, and "whatabout big oil" comments in posts about individual action may be removed with prejudice. You're not wrong, but see rule 1.

Not really a rule per se, more of a request: if the article has "Trump" or "Musk" in the title, consider posting it in a USA/Political community to help keep this space focused on sustainability over clickbait political headlines. Political posts are allowed, but discussion should prioritize policies over personalities.

I cannot convince my wife that the whole "best by" crap is largely an attempt to increase purchases.

She also goes by the "best by" date on sealed bottled water.

I'm like, smell it, if it doesn't smell bad, taste it. If you feel the urge to ask someone else if it smells/tastes bad, it needs to go. If it's not so full of death that you can't sense it, your stomach acid will take care of it.
