Environmental footprints of dairy and plant based milks
  • In the US at least you can be pretty confident that it comes from somewhere within the country, since it exports ~$28bn and imports only $0.4bn worth of soybeans. In the rest of the world though that's definitely an important consideration.

  • Solar module prices continue to fall
  • .24 USD / W ! It would be to get those prices as a regular human here in the US - I'm seeing at least double that (even before shipping).

  • AI-Generated: Community Fridge - open to all
  • I was going to say, those are the best AI solar panels I've ever seen. Usually it really struggles with the rectilinear stuff.

  • Illinois Becomes Second State to Enact Right to Garden Bill - Institute for Justice
  • It seems to be the former - guaranteeing the right to grow a garden:

    Section 15. Right to cultivate vegetable gardens. Notwithstanding any other law, any person may cultivate vegetable gardens on their own property, or on the private property of another with the permission of the owner, in any county, municipality, or other political subdivision of this state.

  • Tool library a hit with women as resource sharing reduces environmental waste
  • To add to TiredSpider's comment, the dry product segment name is "string trimmer". Sometimes also called "strimmers" or "weed eaters".

    (Also, the one common chore I refuse to do. I despise the things.)

  • Looking for Long-form Solarpunk Fiction I can loose myself in, any suggestions?
  • Another vote for Becky Chambers, especially the Monk & Robot series, but also Wayfarers. Her novels are a bit shorter and/or less deep than you might find elsewhere (not necessarily in a bad way) but they are very solarpunk and cozy. Highly recommended.
