    More than 40% of all plastic made is packaging

    "Single-Use Plastic Is Everywhere. Here's How To Use Less Plastic : Life Kit : NPR" https://www.npr.org/2021/07/12/1015296355/zero-waste-single-use-plastic-trash-recycle
  • Climate Denial
    Those who are worried by their microplastic exposure can reduce it, says Li. His work on kitchenware found that the amounts of plastic shed depend highly on temperature — which is why he’s stopped microwaving food in plastic containers. To reduce issues with baby bottles, his team suggests that parents could rinse sterilized bottles with cool water that has been boiled in non-plastic kettles, so as to wash away any microplastics released during sterilization. And they can prepare baby formula in glass containers, filling feeding bottles after the milk has cooled. The team is now recruiting parents to volunteer samples of their babies’ urine and stools for microplastic analysis.

    Here's the whole article. "Microplastics are everywhere — but are they harmful?" https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01143-3
  • Climate Denial
    It’s institutionalized greed, yes. It’s a system — a game — with rules and laws that encourage greed. — Xtrix

    Otherwise known as the profit motive.

    Turns out anti-vaxxers are anti-medicine — Xtrix
    I wouldn't date someone who never goes to the doctor. :chin:
  • Anti-Vaxxers, Creationists, 9/11 Truthers, Climate Deniers, Flat-Earthers
    Which is why I checked it out. — Xtrix
    For some people (very dishonest people), checking out their 'sources' is always necessary.
  • Agriculture - Civilisation’s biggest mistake?
    I was talking about how ‘civilisation’ can and is defined within the fields of anthropology. — I like sushi
    I am not familiar with "the fields of anthropology", so no comment.

    It’s a bit like the ‘all swans are white’ point. We cannot state something with such certainty when there is scant evidence/history. — I like sushi
    I do not know how scant our evidence is.

    I'd bet anything NPR wouldn't publish an article that is anti vaccine.

    They openly admit they will never change their minds. — Xtrix
    Then force is the only option on the table. Plain and simple.
  • Agriculture - Civilisation’s biggest mistake?
    Doesn't matter if you agree or not. A complex social strata doesn't necessarily have to have farming — I like sushi
    You don't know that.
  • Agriculture - Civilisation’s biggest mistake?
    Like I said, there is nothing to say a 'civilised' society couldn't come into being based on a hunter gather lifestyle. The main issue would be sustaining a larger population. — I like sushi
    I'm not quite sure I agree. Farming yields a steady predictable supply of food, which fits in well with an organized society. Hunter gathering is less predictable, much harder to feed an entire civilization. It's necessary to constantly migrate to new areas just to find prey.

    Generally though a 'civilisation' is just a body of people organised into complex social strata with more skilled-labour being a major hallmark. — I like sushi
    Which is different than hunter-gathering.
  • What would be considered a "forced" situation?
    Very good. Now how about no one asking you what to do, but doing it to you anyways, to you? — schopenhauer1
    That too; nobody grabbing my arm forcing me to go anywhere, or do anything.
  • Coronavirus
    A patient’s vaccination status in and of itself is not sufficient reason, ethically, to turn that individual away. AMA link
  • Climate Denial
    She feels like people who disagree with her are attacking her. — Bitter Crank
    That's true for almost every conservative.
  • What would be considered a "forced" situation?
    Let's say — schopenhauer1

    Let's say — schopenhauer1

    let's change — schopenhauer1

    let me start: — schopenhauer1



    What counts as "forcing" people — schopenhauer1
    Putting a gun to their head.

    What counts as "freedom"? — schopenhauer1
    No one telling you what to do.
  • Coronavirus
    COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. COVID-19 vaccines were evaluated in tens of thousands of participants in clinical trials. The vaccines met the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) rigorous scientific standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality needed to support approval or authorization of a vaccine. CDC

    That's good enough for me.
  • Agriculture - Civilisation’s biggest mistake?
    Correct me if I am wrong; Civilization came about with the benefit of agriculture. They go hand-in-hand.
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)
    Do politics come into play?

    Sure. The Bulletin follows politics and public policies throughout the year, but officials say the outcome shouldn't be interpreted as a political statement.

    question of life after death — Jerry
    That (IMO) is the key inspiration behind many religions.
  • Climate Denial
    The ideological fool is the fourth type of climate denier, and they can be intelligent. But they are utterly blinded by their inane, no-limits version of the free-market creed.
    They also read Ayn Rand.
