    I think its interesting that people in the west only realized the danger capitalism posed when it started affecting their weather, while the rest of the world has been filling graveyards for decades because of it.

    Its almost like everyone knew the whole time.

      You get punished in American schools for daring to suggest that maybe we shouldn’t be solely focused on grades and wages.

    About the composting - if you live in a region which has a professional compositing facility, properly sort your rubbish and don’t compost on your own.

    Composting emits a lot of greenhouse gases and professional facilities capture them and use them in less harmful ways. So if we were all in-house composting our bio-garbage it would be more harmful for the environment than using communal services.

    It’s a little bit different for gardening products - those first capture greenhouse gases and would rot on ground anyway so composting kinda balances out. But still, for example if you’re cutting your grass just leave it on the ground and rake it. This way it’s not gonna rot and will fertilize your lawn.

    If the only gardening related activity a person is doing is composting, that might be a net addition to climate change, not a mitigation. Most forms of composting cause C02 to off-gas, enough so that it’s often recommended to keep compost piles near trees or other vegetation so those plants can absorb some of those emissions and benefit from them.

      I won’t even get started on how that’s not even true within the first world, but our first world conditions are built upon and kept alive by oppression of the third world/global south so yeah a cruel system of oppression is exactly what it is.
