Yes about methane and also that forests get cut down to make space for pasture.
If everyone switched to EV cars there would surely be fewer emissions from motors but that would not be the only issue. One is the mining of metals for batteries and the cars themselves. That process, along with shipping parts around produces greenhouse gasses and environmental harm. Then consider that we are not removing carbon nor does EV cars combat the largest sources of greenhouse gases like coal/ natural gas, textile manufacturing, concrete, shipping, and beef. Additionally, the EVs need electricity to charge and if everyone on earth today switched to EVcars many of those would end up being powered by the coal power plants (although it would be a more efficient use of fossil fuel).
Electric vehicles are great and should be used. They do come with their own set of environmental problems to consider. It also worth noting that production and consumption of vehicles and everything else on the planet needs to slow. We simply have too many people doing too much. So if you have an old gas powered car that still runs, don’t throw it out to buy a new EV.
Oh wow and it’s just tracking lemon Queen sunflowers? Cool I’m happy to participate
This reminds me of a scene in the book Shogun where Blackthorne is asked something like “how could you possibly be excused for rebellion?”
“If you win”
I don’t want Trump to win! But he could probably weasel out of this mess by becoming president
Lol it wasn’t me but it does sound like me
For sure! Just DM me the address. I’m so glad to be sharing seeds!
Hey it’s also important to prepare ourselves for a changing climate so thank you for sharing.

What are these online thrift stores? I’d like to check that out
Great idea with the reusable containers
These are great steps and I love that they’re not mega lifestyle changes but easy to do and make work for you. I’ve been eating less beef too. Not none, but less. And I’ve got a little idea been bouncing in my head for a while: Guinea pigs. They are common food in South America. They eat almost anything, take very little space, and I’ve never tried one but I gotta admit they look tasty and they are very sustainable. I’m probably going to catch hate for saying that but damnit they’re trying to convince us to eat bugs!
As Thrawn pointed out, that offer is in the instance sidebar and not the community sidebar. Maybe that’s why nobody has seen it! Omg NataliePortland get it together! Y’all DM your address
Good for you with investing green. Can you recommend a mutual fund?
That’s a great sign to see. Congratulations on your first garden! Can’t wait to see those cherry tomatoes when they ripen
