6·7 days agoI can’t speak speak the newer solar kits for the US, but batteries are common for balcony / plug in solar. For instance In Germany, I think just under half of installations have batteries
Especially because of the power limit, which encourages who want a little larger capacity to just get a battery with it
EDIT: I think I did see a video of someone doing a battery plug in solar setup, so presumably these exist
Abolish animal agriculture as a gesture of good faith. The climate thanks you in advance
A blender definitely works, but don’t 100% know about a mixer. It might work given silken tofu isn’t that difficult to break up, but it might also leave you with some funny chunks. Would be curious to hear if that works
Honestly, this is plenty worth going out of your way to make even if you don’t have applesauce. It has a 4.96/5 with thousands of reviews for a reason
Her vanilla cake recipe is also very good too if you prefer that! https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-vanilla-cake/

Hypothetically, it said specifically vegan men instead of being broader
So is that like a yea or a nay? :P
81·19 days agoWater usage for beef’s cattle feed in the US at least is quite often in water scarce areas
Correspondingly, our hydrologic modelling reveals that cattle-feed irrigation is the leading driver of flow depletion in one-third of all western US sub-watersheds; cattle-feed irrigation accounts for an average of 75% of all consumptive use in these 369 sub-watersheds. During drought years (that is, the driest 10% of years), more than one-quarter of all rivers in the western US are depleted by more than 75% during summer months (Fig. 2 and Supplementary Fig. 2) and cattle-feed irrigation is the largest water use in more than half of these heavily depleted rivers

Hey now, soyboy doesn’t have to be applied to just boys. The meme was, hypothetically speaking, edited to not say “vegan men”
Or in other words: I’m listening…
There’s always a chance to upgrade. Don’t sleep on the opportunity!
Thank you for your important service 🫡
Australia also has plenty of deforestation problems from the beef industry. The deforestation is by no means exclusive to Brazil
Forests around the world are cleared to make way for cattle destined for your dinner plate.
And Australia is no different.
More than half the continent is used for grazing livestock. And most deforestation happens on Australian cattle farms
The deforestation on farms that ‘people don’t even know’ is happening
There is indeed
There is evidence that slaughterhouse employment is associated with lower levels of psychological well-being. SHWs [slaughterhouse workers] have described suffering from trauma, intense shock, paranoia, anxiety, guilt and shame (Victor & Barnard, 2016), and stress (Kristensen, 1991). There was evidence of higher rates of depression (Emhan et al., 2012; Horton & Lipscomb, 2011; Hutz et al., 2013; Lander et al., 2016; Lipscomb et al., 2007), anxiety (Emhan et al., 2012; Hutz et al., 2013; Leibler et al., 2017), psychosis (Emhan et al., 2012), and feelings of lower self-worth at work (Baran et al., 2016). Of particular note was that the symptomatology appeared to vary by job role. Employees working directly with the animals (e.g., on the kill floor or handling the carcasses) were those who showed the highest prevalence rates of aggression, anxiety, and depression (Hutz et al., 2013; Richards et al., 2013).

Beef is exported from Brazil to the rest of the world

The arrival of the first captives to the Jamestown Colony, in 1619, is often seen as the beginning of slavery in America—but enslaved Africans arrived in North America as early as the 1500s.

The study seems to suggest those 2% are more so generic facts rather than particular initiatives or changes
EDIT: which is not to say that other generic facts can’t be misleading or twisted, just that these specific 2% weren’t
