On one hand, "carbon footprint" was made up by oil companies to shift the blame. On the other, commons management benefits from collaboration and social pressure. On that note, I've been thinking about starting a Lemmy community called "carbon challenge" where you can post about crazy things you do to reduce your fossil fuel consumption. For example, we moved apartments entirely by bike (like 10 trips with a bakfiets).
Would you join a community like that?
Yes
No

Bugs were supposed to be the future of food. Now, the insect farming industry is collapsing.

“We have to get used to the idea of eating insects.”
This proclamation came from, of all people, an insect researcher. Dutch entomologist Marcel Dicke pitched eating bugs in his 2010 TED talk as critical to sustainably feeding a growing human population, because insects have a much smaller carbon footprint than beef, pork, and chicken.
Spoiler alert: We di…

A 100% recycled paving block made from mollusk shells and mining waste
The construction industry is one of the most polluting due to its high contribution to CO2 emissions. In addition to its significant environmental cost, its materials are made from nonrenewable resources such as sand and gravel, making the search for sustainable alternatives an urgent challenge in a context where growing production demand must be balanced with environmentally responsible practices. The sector is therefore investigating the development of low-carbon-footprint materials within a …

New electrolyzer turns plastic-waste syngas into ethylene with less energy
For every ton of ethylene created, one ton of carbon dioxide is produced. With more than 300 million tons of ethylene produced each year, the production system has a huge carbon footprint that scientists and engineers are eager to reduce and eventually eliminate. A new device developed in Ted Sargent's lab at Northwestern takes a step toward breaking that cycle.

How the Carbon Footprint Made Us Small
We’re taught to shrink our impact to prove we care. But what if the point isn’t to disappear—it’s to become dangerous to the system, not to ourselves?
