  • Technically they’re “downcyclable”. The materials can be separated and used for other purposes, but they’re not “cycled” back into being another tetrapak.

    It’s also a very energy intensive procedure so even if it’s possible to use some of the materials again, it’s by no means as environmentally friendly as products that can be recycled for their purpose. Take for instance glass bottles and aluminium cans, they can both be recycled into glass bottles and aluminium cans.

    Some places also reuse glass bottles by cleaning them. This also costs energy, but not as much as grinding it down and heating it to produce new glass.

    Aluminium cans are probably the best single use beverage container as of now.

    The best one is not to get one in the first place. Reduce, reuse, recycle, reclaim.

    Tetrapak is in the “reclaim”.

    Carrying a personal reusable water bottle is a good idea, because it reduces the production of singular use containers.








  • It’s almost as if the generation that taught us to “decide with your heart”, “do what you love”, “you can be everything you dream of”, etc.etc. has suddenly decided to focus and rule the world by irrelevant talking points instead of staying true to their own beliefs and teaching.

    I hope that whatever happens in the next decade at the dying breath of that generation will not set the precedent for following inhabitants of this planet. I, being gen-x, am doing as much as I can to enable people to younger than me to have better opportunities than I ever had. (Union stuff.)

    The difference being that I acknowledge that younger people are more capable. My parents generation never understood that. They still cling to the belief that age equals wisdom. Maybe their parents taught them that. There is some truth to it, but he cutting point is a lot lower than they believe. The peak of capability is probably closer to 25 than 80…

    Edit. Anyway. The world depends on the American election. Mostly because the world needs USA to be successful in order to maintain a stable balance in world politics. The last Trump period was basically what fucked it up in the first place and I have no expectations of it being any better at a second term, on the contrary.

    Please vote for Biden. Sure, he’s old (please attend to primaries next time…) and Hillary was too, but Trump is still the most senile of them all. I get it. It was funny to vote in some jackass to stir shit up, but that’s not really what happened. All he achieved was to play golf and let radical idiots run the place down…

    It’s not even about the talking points. He spits in every direction, so it doesn’t even matter. He will not fulfill any of the most modest expectations of any of the talking points whether or not you agree with them. He’s going to play golf and let random asslickers run the place, again. That’s not democracy.





  • I doubt they do it just to scare employees. It’s way too expensive to use this tactic without having any real savings to show.

    It’s probably more likely that HR is keeping HR busy, because what else are they supposed to do when the company isn’t hiring? The explanation that it supposedly keeps employees in check seems like something HR would say to justify their own purpose.

    Any (reasonable) CEO would absolutely take thee easy and actual savings of firing the HR instead of paying them to use this unproven pseudo-tactic.









  • Hvordan ser det ud på Feddit.dk? Bruger I museer?

    Ja, men det er mest som familieaktivitet og ferieunderholdning til børnene.

    Jeg gad egentlig godt at museer blev lidt mere hardcore mht. til at udstille den enorme viden som ligger bag udstillingerne. Det bliver ofte en lidt tynd omgang, hvor de har forsøgt at lave interaktive udstillinger eller oplevelser med lydfortællinger som er drønende kedelige og samtidig så overfladiske at man intet lærer. Jeg føler lidt at jeg kommer på skoleudflugt når jeg går ind i et museum. Det er selvfølgelig fint at man kan nå at se det hele på et par timer, men der mangler mulighed for at gå lidt dybere, hvis jeg skulle have lyst til at komme oftere og i længere tid.
