Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can’t afford for professionals and don’t want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor’s prescription?
As far as I can tell, those packets of raw sugar have the same calories as refined sugar, with 1/10th the ability to sweeten. So if you wish to sweeten your coffee, for example, you end up consuming about 5x the sugar, than if your stupid coffee shop just offered regular damn white sugar. Why? Why does this stuff exist?

Stimmt, wenn jemand der die selben Ansichten hat wie ich rumheult ist es ‘ein Problem ansprechen’, aber wenn andere es tun ist es Polemik. Sehe ich genau so. Kann man nicht einfach alle bannen die nicht so denken wie ich?
Solange die Konsumenten weiter ohne einen Gedanken zu verschwenden konsumieren was ihnen in die Finger kommt gibt es rein gar keinen Grund etwas am System zu Ändern. Änderungen am System gehen immer vom Volk aus.
Mit Schuld hat das nichts zu tun. Jedem ist klar wer schuld ist, aber die schuldigen werden nunmal nichts daran ändern. Wer etwas ändern kann sind die Konsumenten.
Du kannst nicht erwarten, dass Fleisch-Subventionen gestoppt werden wenn 100% der Bürger fleisch konsumieren, selbst wenn alle 100% denken ‘die Politik muss halt was ändern bevor ich was änder’. Woher soll denn ein Politiker riechen was die Leute wollen wenn ihnen nur die Statistiken vorgesetzt werden dass immernoch Millionen Tonnen Fleisch verkauft werden?
Ranslite hat diesen Beitrag erstellt, nachdem etliche Leute wegen Äußerung ihrer Meinung bezüglich Fleischkonsum gebannt wurden (angeblich ‘Polemik’). Danach hat er diesen Post erstellt um sich über sie lustig zu machen, nicht weil es ein Problem ist was er hat. Logischerweise wird sich hier wieder darüber aufgeregt, und darüber dass er willkürlich Leute bannt die nicht seine Meinung teilen. Diese werden wieder wegen ‘Polemik’ gebannt. Würde das schon ködern nennen.
Wo werden denn bitte in den tausenden anderen Posts täglich sarkastische Kommentare gelöscht und behauptet sie wären toxisch? Meinungen die nicht der eigenen entsprechen selektiv zu unterdrücken hat nichts mit Moderation zu tun.
I mean sure, if you talk about common interests with people youre less likely to argue, but if you build actual relationships and communicate a lot, arguments are bound to happen. Not arguing with people you are actually close with seems unnatural, whether on the internet or in person.
I need some relationship advice. I suggested 125% but my wife won’t budge from 10%. Is this normal? How did it go when you had this conversation with your romantic partner?
How couls any of those be labeled greenwashing if the goal is a complete list of possible actions?
Yeah some dont have a huge impact like esim and ecosia, but theyre the better alternatives to things we use anyway.
Carbon labels would make a huge difference, I dont know what you mean there.
Carbon credits are used for greenwashing, because most are not regulated and monitored strictly enough. That doesnt mean carbon credits in general are greenwashing. Buying reputable ones with actual impact definitely helps.
Its sad that many people are kept from donating by the myth that ‘it doesnt help anyway’ or ‘theyre just gonna keep my money’. Sure if you just donate wherever, chances are your money is not used efficiently, but there are a lot of organizations that are reputable and efficient, you just need to do a little research
What you are talking about is the way companies act using carbon credit to prevent actually taking measures against climate change. It has nothing to do with carbon credits themselves Thats like saying water is bad because someone somewhere posioned a river.
There are a lot of reputable climate programs that actually provably reduce co2 emissions by the claimed amounts, and Im not talking about ‘Ill give you 100$ to not burn 1t of co2 so you burn it tomorrow’ projects. If I as a private person buy 10t of carbon credit, that doesnt mean I have to burn 10t of CO2 before.
I did some research into the matter a few months back. Before, I held the same prejudices and have only heard carbon credits were a way for companies to keep polluting without consequences. While it is true that carbon credits get misused for that, doesnt mean all carbon credits are like that.
There are a lot of projects that get monitored appropriately and prove their actual impact. There are principles like additionality, permanence, singularity by which you can judge if a given project is actually beneficial.
Tree planting initiatives for example dont satisfy the permanence principle and are therefore not considered effective for carbon compensation.
Your last sentence definitely holds true, but not all emissions are evitable, like I need to live in a home with heating, some people need to drive to work. People in developing countries cant even afford to think about reducing their emissions. Additional measures for reducing emissions are definitely necessary. Unfortunately the current regulations for those are too vulnerable to exploitation.
Yeah definitely, but the number of people working from home rose immensely thanks to covid, before it was more or less unthinkable. I think in the next few years there will be some major changes regarding work conditions, lets hope for the best.
Anyway, final thought on carbon credits: I didnt mean to imply that the majority or even the average program behind carbon credits is beneficial, and I dont think it is relevant for the point from my first comment. OPs suggestion was buying carbon credits for additional impact, and as long as you do that correctly (i.e. buying those that are beneficial) it helps and is not greenwashing.
You didnt even read my comment, did you? Also, you should do some research about carbon credits if youre gonna start a discussion about them because it seems you dont really know what those are
