Every time I'm in the US, I'm shocked at how much disposable tableware they use.

In the Brno office we use porcelain/glass cups, here it's all plastic/paper. Here they really focus on recycling and decomposable materials, but the most environmentally friendly waste is the one you don't create in the first place.

In the company cafeteria there is an educational board about how much waste is produced, that Americans throw away 2.5 million cups every hour. But the cafeteria still serves all food in disposable dishes. What's the point of the board? We know it's bad, but we serve you food in it anyway? 🤷

> The ecology of fear, the idea that the presence of a predator causes a cascade of ecological effects across a landscape, is a fundamental concept in wildlife ecology. In recent years, ecologists have come to appreciate how much animals, even apex predators, fear humans, with myriad effects on animal behaviors and, in turn, ecosystems.

Ecologist Asia Murphy writes about humans' role in the "ecology of fear" and the implications for wildlife management & conservation: americanscientist.org/article/…

"Breaking Boundaries" is a good documentary on planetary boundaries and the perils of infinite growth on a finite planet.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking…

Most discussions about the climate crisis are centred around emissions of vehicles and industries. This documentary explores 9 different planetary boundaries of which atmospheric pollution is just one.

It features actual climate scientists and conservationists; not people parroting the ideologies of billionaires.
