We go outside because it is too hot to stay inside.

TIL in the Carboniferous Period, no fungus existed to decompose trees. They just grew on top of each other up and up.

The weight of the trees was so great that the ones on the bottom got squished and became coal. That’s where coal is from. Bonus fact: the whole time this was happening, sharks were hunting in the oceans. Sharks are older than trees and fungus!

At some point this will happen with plastics too. Soo much plastic is ending up in nature, with soo much energy ready for the taking. When one fungus or bacteria mutates just right to munch on that feast of plastic, that vast energy source will ensure that organism multiplies rapidly.

And that is when plastic stops beeing useful for many of the tasks we humans use it for. If your plastic container decomposes as rapidly as a cardboard box, it will quickly become much less usefull.

Raise healthy, emphatic and intelligent kids.

If I manage that, everything else can go to hell, and I would still be happy and content in life.

I want to feel like what I do matters, otherwise I become frustrated and feel bad. My basic drive for curiosity is very strong, and I need to learn new things and do something that has some sort of meaning.

Being paid to do nothing is soo frustrating, I feel like I am wasting what little time I have here on earth.

This is true. But just going from fossil to electrical vehicles will improve the air quality enormously and lower the noise a lot. It is a big improvement for city life.
