Maybe it’s a stupid question, but aren’t the companies that burn the fossil fuel responsonsible for the emmisions?

I’m just speculating, but I could imagine they personfied objects and maybe transfered gender to objects that way?

A small add-on:
Usually, plants get most their nutrients from the soil, most importantly nitrogen (but also P, K and some others).
In some locations, such as swamps or very sandy soils, there is not a lot of nutrients for the plants to get and these “nutrient-poor” soils are usually those where carnivorous plants live. They simply get the nutrients from insects, which consist of yummy proteins made of nitrogen.
So basically one should not really wonder why carnivorous plants need sunlight. They do photosynthesis by taking up CO2 from the air and using energy from the sunlight in order to produce C6H12O6, Glucose. And I guess this is also what the japanese orchid steals from the fungi - sugar.
Of course these processes do not work completely independent from each other. But Glucose, the product of photosynthesis, is not really considered a nutrient, that would be carbon.

Hopefully in the future repairable and used can go hand in hand! Those are not mutually exclusive attributes.

That’s true. I use LineageOS to get at least OS updates, but firmware is definitely problematic. I just wished mobile hardware would be more generic like in Desktop PCs, that would solve a lot of problems.

It’s a great thing, and I hope the industry (with motivation by EU) will follow a trend towards repairability and sustainability. However I think the most sustainable way is buying used devices.

My impression is that at least in Germany it’s very rare to get a straw in a restaurant at all. It’s usually fast food places, bars and clubs where straws seem to be a thing, and these places usually don’t offer metal cutlery.

- Comment on Every individual should know how to cook. 1 year ago:
In my 15 years living for myself I developed a pretty solid cooking skill, nothing too fance but enough to supply myself with healthy, diverse food. However I never baked a bread and hate baking in general - to me it’s a whole different story than cooking. This might be a regional thing, as in Germany we have great bread everywhere available so bread baking is more of a hobby thing.
I’d suggest to learn how to cook the basic things first. Learn how to cook essential things like eggs, pasta, rice, potatoes etc. Doesn’t sound hard, but for people who never tried before it’s a barrier. Then learn how to cut and prepare veggies, how to cook them, how to fry them. Then try out standard sauces, tomato sauce etc. Aand learn how to use salt and pepper (which is enough for the start). When you cooked your first pasta with tomato sauce just try yourself out and extend your repertoire with all the other standard things. - Comment on Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase. 1 year ago:
