@petewxyz saidI started growing a beard in March (for the first time) now it's 'Movember' & everywhere is shut.
Mosses and some algae grown in the beard or moustache area can reduce your overall CO₂ admissions as an interim measure.
I'll grow it more, eventually I'll be able to house Blue Tits/Robins also in it (Peter Griffin stye) in the spring as a tree hugger with a cause.
@petewxyz saidOnce you are retired from office work, live away from the city that lifestyle is easy to do. Thats similar to how we live here down in the islands. I cook on a wood stove at times and the flavour is unmatched. People in the city need to simplify their lives and stop the waste.
Wow amazing, do you mind being asked how that came about? Was that a lifestyle change at some point or did it just evolve that way from your values?

@relentless-red saidNot even humans are entirely biodegradable these days. Before cremation, you have to declare whether your former loved one has any metal or hi-tech implants (titanium screws, pacemakers, etc.).
In the UK you can get biodegradable dog bags. Personally I hate seeing them though and I would prefer it flicked under a gorse bush with a stick. People seem to leave them lying around more than could happen by chance.
Terminology is a bizarre legal maze in the UK. You can call something compostable even if it breaks down to the microplastics found in fish and filte ...[text shortened]... I believe it is only when it's called biodegradable that it breaks down to naturally found elements.

I stopped dating women with kids.
They expect you to put them first in the relationship but you come second to their kid.
That made a huge difference in my life as far as happiness goes.
Like a weight being lifted 🤔

@moonbus saidTo say nothing about all the microplastics in our system from eating filter feeding fish (and increasingly in the water we drink ourselves). I wonder what our internal organs will look like to future pathologists.
