- Comment on The rise of green tech is feeding another environmental crisis 5 weeks ago:
In this link, they also mention the sourcing of materials, but they don’t really talk about it. The focus is on recycling.
- Comment on The rise of green tech is feeding another environmental crisis 5 weeks ago:
I have the impression that in the EU what they care more about is having a constant supply and recycling. At least this was my understanding from the European Critical Raw Materials Act.
Maybe there’s another piece of legislation that tackles the issue of how these materials are mined, but I don’t know about it. So if anyone does, please share.
- Comment on repair cafes are oriented to “give you fish”, rather than “teach a man to fish” 5 weeks ago:
I think this depends very much on the project itself. Repair cafes are not by definition one way, or another.
For example, even tho I am not super tech-savvy, I have participated in 2 different makerspaces, in 2 different places in europe and both of these project had a very similar approach. We met weekly or bi-weekly do stuff in the workshop, and every month or so we had a repair cafe event. Some people wanted just their stuff to be fixed. Those who wanted to know more about fixing them themselfs, they were invited to attend the makerspace meetings.

This is a video about Europe (mostly Germany and France), not the world as you asked, but I think it includes some answers to your question.

- Comment on Carbon footprint of Israel’s war on Gaza exceeds that of many entire countries 2 months ago:
Coincidentaly, I also posted this article in 2 communities but I decided to delete it because I found it was very problematic since it says very contradictory things. If I missunderstood something, please point it out to me.
Examples of contradictions:
Over 99% of the almost 1.89m tCO2e estimated […] is attributed to Israel’s aerial bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza.
[…] 50% [of CO2e emissions] were generated by the supply and use of weapons, tanks and other ordnance by the Israeli military (IDF), the study found.
- And there is this graph claiming that most emissions that come from Gaza aid delivery (trucks)
- Comment on Indigenous Bajo suffer child deaths & toxic sludge amid green energy push 2 months ago:
I think I understand your point, but it looks like I see things very differently.
Mining companies all over the world are breaking the laws because it is more profitable for them to pay some fines when they get caught, instead of following the law. This is the problem.
Since green energy needs mining, we should always talk about both green energy transition and mining as one topic in order to apply efficient solutions. This is why it is called the Triple planetary crisis, because the topics of climate, environment and biodiversity, intersect and viable solutions are only those that take this as a fact.
