  1. Coffee pods generate 56 billion units of single-use plastic waste globally every year.

    Stacked end-to-end, that's enough to wrap the planet about 50 times. The aluminum and plastic pods take roughly 500 years to break down. Less than 10% are actually recycled despite manufacturer claims.

    Presses or basic drip makers cost less than a year of pods, produce zero pod waste and the coffee is better.

For some, artificial grass might mean less mud and lower maintenance, letting them swap the lawnmower for a hoover and jet wash. However, artificial lawns negatively impact nature, the environment, people and our pets, and should be avoided where possible. ..."

    The blazing #sun (in #Belgium !) didn’t bother us after many cold, rainy days. On the other hand, the #pollution of the #Sambre river, which we followed today, is alarming: a brown sludge with plenty of #plastic #waste floating on top. What are the #political authorities doing about it?

    Fossil Fuels!

    The tank WILL spill or blow up.

    "....impact the respiratory system, cause skin irritation, eye irritation. (lung irritation and/or or death) The other concern we have is that it is extremely flammable. And in its current state, very reactive, and it can cause that explosion,"
