Rate or Hate

Rate

  • Having a compost bin! A nice way to dispose of food, a nice way to attract worms to your property, and a nice surprise for your landlord at the end of your lease.
  • Turtles. Save them xx
  • Menstrual cups. The company that owns U by Kotex uses palm oil, which is certainly not something I want in my vag. Plus menstrual cups are also just way lower waste.
  • Meat-free Mondays. The agriculture industry is responsible for a fuckton of NZ’s carbon emissions. Not contributing to that would likely make your monday distinctly less shit x
  • Keep cups. (Except I don’t rate that Christian group giving them out free on campus in exchange for doing a survey about god, my keepcup from them broke after two uses.)

 

Hate

  • Flexitarians. That’s NOT a thing. You’re just a normal person who eats food.
  • The government pitching electric cars as the solution to our environmental problems. How about you just invest in public transport?
  • The 40-hour work week. Very unsustainable for my brain and body I would say.
  • Eco-fascism. I don’t actually know what that means but I’ve heard people talking about it and it sounds really bad.
  • My flatmate’s passive aggressive notes about what can and can’t be recycled. Is that eco-fascism? (ily tho king x)
