We have to talk about burning trash🗑️🔥
Waste incinerators / waste-to-energy plants that generate electricity and heat are an enormous and often underestimated source of CO2 🏭💨🌎. For example, in Germany, a country where waste-to-energy plants are common, their emissions are higher than those of cement.
Waste incinerator operators will often claim that half of their emissions don't count 🌿 or even that they already have net-negative emissions 🌎. I disagree with both 🧵

The recent European switch to attached bottle lids for recycling is very interesting to me, because as an American I've always been told that plastic bottle caps *cannot* be recycled, and should be thrown in the trash while only the bottle itself gets recycled.
Anybody know the origin for this? Was it just a desire to sell more single-use plastics? Are detached lids so small that the effort to extract them from the waste stream is too much to justify the amount of material you get?…

Another free laptop I got recently is a an HP 14-dq0005tg but there's no power supply and I don't have a power adapter that will fit. Reviews seem to suggest it's pretty crappy so I don't even want to bother with getting a power supply for it.
It's lightweight and slim, but the 14" screen seems to be just 1920x1080 and supposedly has "noisy cooling".
I may just see if I can send it to HP for recycling.

Four square pillows, all resembling scaled-up Li-ion flat battery packs with a silver/greay background colour. Top left is a generic pack with a strip of kapton tape down its left side. It has dot-matrix inkjet printing indicating it's a 3.7v 100mAh cell. Top-right has an inlaid black print with negative writing apeing a Samsung-branded cell (Actually branded "Samsong"). Bottom-left apes Intel (branded "initech"). Bottom-right is a generic black-fielded negative Li-ion recycling warning.

Fenceline (or frontline) communities are residential areas that sit next to high polluting facilities that emit pollutants like noise, light, odours, chemicals, and even traffic.
