Hello, I want to ask everyone out here who is knowledgeable about bamboo (like actually): How feasible is a bamboo-based cooling panel? Can a prototype like bamboo-based cooling panels be implemented as an alternative to conventional air conditioning systems? It would be much appreciated if somebody would answer my question.

What can we watch next ?

I'm looking for participant for my survey on luxury and sustainability. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of how luxury and sustainability are connected and how the communication of sustainability could influence the purchasing behaviour of luxury goods and the image of luxury brands.

Thanks in advance!

I have been looking up brands on GoodOnYou website and in the Fashion Transparency Index. But I don't think they actually reflect human working conditions. I figured thay out once I saw H&M was high on the transparency index, but there is no way they are paying living wages and they are considered one of the worst brands in this regard.

From what I understand the Fashion Transparency Index focuses on the actual "transparency", so if you are transparent about being bad that doesn't actually lower your score. That honestly just makes that index kind of useless to consumer.

As for GoodOnYou I don't understand how it gives ratings, e.g. it would give H&M rating of 2/5 and cite their transparency score. Then give Timberland 4/5 while also citing the transparency score, where they are mostly the same scores. At the same time Merrell which says a lot on their website about how sustainable they are gets a lower score and I am not sure if that just means they are lying on their site or that these indexes don't map well?

Ultimately I am confused and feel like I can't really rely on any rating.

I’m looking for a brand that does reusable bottles and refill packets like blue land does. I’m just not a big fan of any of their scents and I’m wondering if anyone recommends a different brand.

I see very few things challenging the status quo, a lot of bots, and a lot of people who are clearly trying to lear how to better market to a growing demographic. Gross

To survive with more than eight billion consumers is possible if they all spend their money exclusively on goods and services that keep the environment in good condition.

 Right?

 They will do so when they receive 30 % of the ecological value of any purchase they make, in reduction of the price to be paid.  

 -  The ecological value of a product is the percentage of its costs of production that was made for goods and services that used natural resources in a sustainable manner.  - 

-   If one buys a 100€ shirt with a 50% ecological value one receives 15€ in reduction.  -  

 With such a reward, it will be in the financial and personal interests of consumers, two powerful drives in human behaviour, to search for and buy products that left the environment in good shape.

 At the COP 29 meeting funds are being claimed which are sufficient to reward the consumers in the Western countries with the 30% of the ecological value of all the purchase they make, in reduction of the price to be paid. 

• Climate: At the U.N. climate talks, the world’s poorest countries have teamed up with China and India to demand $1.3 trillion in climate financing per year from Western countries.  The New York Times

 According to ChatGPT, there are 1,3 billion people living in these Western countries.

 So, with 1,3 trillion 1,3 billion consumers can be paid 1.000 per year.

 This 1.000 is 30% of 3.333,33’

 According to ChatGPT The average yearly costs of living of these 1,3 billion consumers is between $22.000 and $26.000

 The $3.333,33’ is 13,9% of $24.000.

 Assuming that the average ecological value of merchandise in these Western countries is around 13,9% of the price of merchandise, all consumers in these Western countries can be paid 30% of the ecological value of their purchases in reduction of the price to be paid with the 1,3 trillion demanded from these Western countries.   This 1,3 trillion will then be used to prevent damage to the environment in an economy in which consumers safeguard the integrity of Nature while living in a lush environment without poverty nor hunger and in peace that can become permanent. 

 If the actual average ecological value of merchandise in these Western countries is less than 13,9% of the price of merchandise, consumers in other than these Western countries can be paid their Pilot wage of 30 % of the ecological value of any purchase they make, as well. 

 It is therefore financially justified to launch the Ethical Market Economy in Western countries with the 1,3 trillion demanded by the poorest countries and China and India. 

 This 1,3 trillion will then be used to solve the ecological problems of the entire planet. This is also in the interests of the poorest countries and of China and India.

 I am curious to know what Mr Trump or Mr Putin would think, if Mrs von der Leyen would launch the EmE in the EU.

Hi everyone, I’m a newcomer to this subreddit. I am moving out from my parents to my first ever place and I am looking to try and be more sustainable, especially when it comes to cleaning products.

I already made the switch to TruEarth a while ago for laundry detergent and it’s been great! I know that TruEarth also has toilet cleaner strips, multi-purpose cleaner strips but nothing with dishwashing as of yet.

I got an ad for Blueland years ago, so I always kept that in mind for when I eventually got my own place. But after doing some research on it, I read in a another subreddit (maybe it’s this one) that the products that Blueland had were not good.

Some other brands that I have come across while researching are Nature Bee, Brain Wash, The Bare Home. Brain Wash was in Walmart when I saw it, and Nature Bee seems like its a good company too.

I was wondering if anyone here tried some of the products from the brands above and would be able to share their feedback? Even better if its another brand that I haven’t heard/seen before too. Any responses would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi everyone! I’m working on a project for my Design and Technology Major Design Project, in which I am designing an autonomous trash-sorting bin for public spaces like parks and beaches. The bin will compact waste and even operate on solar power. It’s a step towards cleaner public spaces and better recycling habits.

I don't usually like to promote things, but I’d love your input on my survey to make sure it meets real needs. If you have a few minutes, please fill out this quick survey: https://forms.gle/LDmzvx8hF3cn81YB6

Your feedback will directly help me in my project (and who knows, maybe even implement it). Thanks so much for supporting sustainable innovation!
