WHO IS STILL PRINTING EMAILS IN 2025? I want someone to analyse whether thousands of additional lines of emails containing the words ‘we care about the environment please think before printing this email’ has a bigger footprint than the two people printing emails still.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Why the Most Oil-Rich Country Can’t Keep the Lights On Kuwait is a cautionary tale of where fossil-fuel addiction can lead.

Blackouts are commonplace in Kuwait, with the petrostate still wedded to 1960s oil-boom dreams.

Guest post: How heat pumps became a Nordic success story - Carbon Brief A common criticism of heat pumps is that they do not work in cold weather. But how did heat pumps became a Nordic success story?

I’m in Norway right now. When I told folks here that back home in the UK people say heat pumps don’t work in cold weather they just laughed out loud.

The even more unbelievable crime fact (which I learned relatively recently) is that burglary has fallen by more than 90% since the 1990s.

Did anyone notice? Nope. Does anyone believe it? Nope. But is is true? It is!

I will be good and fix this bag without a zip pull. Locate ingenious German zip fixing device. In order to get the correct size I have to check either the number on the zip pull which doesn’t exist or measure the width of it when done up which I can’t do. Is it circular economy if I set fire to it?

My fear is that people are internalizing ChatGPT's voice as "good writing" and real humans will start writing/talking like that in real life, and then I will have no choice but to return to the sea.

Thousands of tonnes of toxic landfill liquid added to sewage and spread on English farms Exclusive: Leachate is tankered to treatment works where it mixes with sewage and industrial effluent

Liquid oozing from landfill + industrial waste + sewage - treated for pathogens then split, the solid part spread on farmland, the liquid part released into rivers - what could go wrong?

We don’t yet know who killed Kirk or why. Not that you’d know it from the endless numbers of accounts on X with huge follower numbers, including British politicians, making as yet unknowable claims about the motivations behind the murder.

Exhibit A. Extraordinary stuff.
