Draft:Overview
Overview of stuff I've been trying to say:
climate change is about energy (mostly) most savings come from buying less systemic changes electronics fighting against planned obsolescence fighting against code bloat promoting right to repair personal frugalism clothes replace less often dont wear em down in the first place pick some bad clothes dedicated for exercise sitting electronics phone dont replace it if it still works dont break it get a protective case extra buy is far outweighed by the chance of having to replace phone sooner otherwise computer make old computers great again howto guide furniture best option: dont replace ur furniture if its still useable second best option: replace but donate your old some charities are already overrun with furniture inefficient transportation worst option: replace and throw out the old on the flipside, to correct for other people who didnt make the best choice: buy second hand check curbside for good stuff appliances when does getting a new "energy efficient" appliance actually save more energy than it took to manufacture it? {{rn}} driving less walkability make existing suburbs walkable without having to rebuild too much examples / howto avoid 'revitalization' solutions that require demolishing otherwise useable housing examples public transit in which cases it it really green beware of systems where theres mostly empty buses and trains heating and cooling - less? how? systemic changes need to assess solutions {{rn}} make energy green solutions and their limits {{rn}} energy sources cheap ass rooftop solar panels and lots of em - probably some wind power - maybe nuclear breeder reactors - small chance nuclear fusion - smaller chance hydro and geothermal electricity - status quo energy storage vehicles cars & buses sodium-ion - probably lithium iron phosphate - maybe ppl gotta learn to be ok with less range semi trucks unknown {{rn}} planes unknown {{rn}} cargo ships unknown {{rn}} trains use grid storage grid sodium-ion - probably iron redox flow - probably hydrogen - maybe a bit, for wind power habitat loss is about land eat plant-based how, why, faq, nutrition examples stop food waste causes, effects, solutions intro to dumpster diving ppl need more housing units show why census analysis by country so far, i've analyzed canada far more single people than single-person units how this affects families' need for housing as well which other countries have this same issue? {{rn}} subdivide some houses into duplexes some multibedroom units into studios reason why build more? need to assess env footprint {{rn}}
Note: The "{{rn}}" means "research needed".
