Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarCleaning up behind the big barn.There's a lean-to to rebuild and a crumbling straw insulated animal shack to remove.But first, picked up some stupid disintegrating plastic. At least 80% of it, the rest was just crumbling away.Got a few loads of sauna fuel and a little firewood from this.More to clean yet. I want to make a crap, err, treasure store back there where I can keep some of the salvaged stuff until needed.<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Homestead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homestead</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Cleanup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cleanup</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Barn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Barn</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plastic</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a>

myrmepropagandistDreamed of plastic insects. Product development gone wrong or evolution? Cataloging finds from drop traps in central park: a lovely blue-green, miniature, plastic purse. Perfect for a doll. No. An egg case. A new and undescribed species of plastic roach. Peas in a pod. Each has a tiny foil-wrapped lipo battery visible through the translucent, colorful exoskeleton. They cluster at USB ports, sipping micro-volts.

Snowshadow 🇨🇦Speaking of plastic bags, while grocery shopping last week some guy was putting bananas in the thin produce plastic bags.I stopped and inquired why. He said it was what his mother always used to protect bananas.I pointed out that bananas grow a thick natural protective cover and that placing fruit in plastic often leads to mold growth.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plastic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Oil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oil</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Food</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Environment</a>

Like the metal Coleman ice chest shown here. My family acquired it in the early 60s, it was bulletproof and kept things cold as well as a $500 Yeti. Some assbite stole it from our campsite up near Florence Lake in the Sierras in the 1980s. They do not make them like this any more. <a href="https://squawk.mytransponder.com/tags/Plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plastic</a>

JuneSim63Less than 10% of the plastic produced around the world is made from recycled material, according to the first detailed global analysis of its life cycle.The research reveals that most plastic is made from fossil fuels, predominantly coal and oil, despite rhetoric by producers, supermarkets and drinks companies about plastic being recycled.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plastic</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Recycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Recycling</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ClimateEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateEmergency</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Environment</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/10/just-95-of-plastic-made-in-2022-used-recycled-material-study-shows" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/10/just-95-of-plastic-made-in-2022-used-recycled-material-study-shows</a>

Dr. Melanie Bergmann2/n Income disparities among countries diminish in the context of <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plastic</a> waste imports, reshaping the global plastics trade patterns. Uncovering the complex plastic supply chain is crucial for reducing pollution and promoting sustainable plastic management.“ ❗️Importantly, plastic incineration is not even included in the estimated plastics footprint of 5.3% of annual global greenhouse gas emmissions. It comprises only emmissions incurred during <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/plastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plastics</a> production.

Dr. Melanie Bergmann1/n New analysis concludes: „Furthermore, there is a significant shift in waste disposal: <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/incineration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#incineration</a> is emerging as a prominent waste disposal method (34%), landfill is decreasing substantially (40%), while the global <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/recycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#recycling</a> rate remained stagnant (9%). <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plastic</a> <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-025-02169-5" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-025-02169-5</a>

If there were a much bigger increase in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plastic</a> recycling, I expect we would have seen a lot more fanfare.
