It always puzzles me when people throw away (almost) perfectly fine bicycles. These bikes will need new chains, maybe a tube and a fresh cable and they will be back on the road.
So I am not too worried about this 20-dollar ‘investment’.

So nice to hear, especially just a week after this other piece of neonazi #MatthewGruter had his visa cancelled.
By the way, is he gone yet? #LockThemUp

Fuck #BlackFriday, as it is nothing but the celebration of #overconsumption which is killing us!
Celebrate instead your worn jeans, your old bicycle or kitchen aid. Go and stitch and fix them up, or visit a #RepairCafé and learn how to repair. #AvoidReduceReuseRecycle

When Big Oil companies claim to be partners in climate solutions, remember: they are lying.

As the climate crisis intensifies, Chevron is once again "increasing investments in oil and gas exploration," Reuters reports.

www.reuters.com/markets/comm...
Chevron plans to grow oil and gas production by 2% to 3% per year through 2030. It currently produces around 4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. "There is need for significant investment to close the oil supply gap, equivalent to five Saudi Arabias" over the next decade, Wirth said.

The wind blows, yet turbines lie still. It's a symptom of Australia's renewables glut
Mountains of clean power are regularly "wasted" as Australia's energy system evolves. But a large amount of battery storage is waiting in the wings, ready to soak it up.

Seriously nuts: the US threatened African and small Pacific and Caribbean island diplomats with cancelled visas and refused entry if they didn't vote against a shipping carbon price.

"Bullying" doesn't do this justice. They're gangsters and criminals.

The US group included eight people, according to one person present. The intimidation included approaching country officials during coffee breaks to warn them they might not be able to transit via the US, or that they and their families could face restrictions on entering the country if they acted against American interests, according to five people at the talks, including two from countries that were directly threatened. US President Donald Trump has branded the framework a “global green new scam tax on shipping”, and in a social media post last month called for it to be blocked.

"Much as granaries and refrigeration transformed food markets, storage will turn electricity from perishable to persistent, unlocking a new era of energy abundance."

In the future we will look back on the oil & gas era the way we look at hunting and gathering.
