@icedquinn In Canada (circa 2006 ) the litter bins had recapitalise for bottles, homeless could pick up bottles and take to shop to get deposit paid back.
Really good idea.
@icedquinn Sounds like we need far more of this there are people turning waste in to all sorts of things, they need support to get the waste (e.g plastic) to them easily, their products in the shops.

@zleap permaculture is basically community gardening at scale. there's usually a tended personal garden region and then plants are sort of mixed in where they feel like growing for the rest of it.
there's been some fascinating research works where they had areas that were fully recycling the black water from human waste in to inedible planters.

@icedquinn Teach people to grow their own food, even a small patio with containers is good enough, neighbour grows something different you can then trade by weight,

@zleap @Bleukitty some good, some bad, but now the real bad bill is no longer tied to it and will not pass
So is this infrastructure bill that has just been agreed a good thing, if it is helping to repair bridges , etc

Teach everything you know.
Even if it's already been taught 100 times before.
The experiences you've had and the way you word things will be different than the 100 times before.
Because of that, there are people that it will just click for them.
Because you taught it.
Yeah there are schemes in the UKto teach kids about money, saving etc.
But yes survival skills would be good, how to survive without a mobile phone, how to read a map (paper) how to cope with zero electricity.
Oh and most important teach common sense.

School is the only thing keeping adults from being dumber than they already are... and they are pretty damn dumb most of the time.
That said I'd be all about including survival skills in school along side traditional subjects. I also think we need a major reform on how we teach kids in the first place.
We need people with skills for the future, computing, engineering , sciences etc etc so we can really solve the problems of the future.
But we also need people with practical skills to build stuff, we need people to care for others at all levels
@s8n @icedquinn Meanwhile Elon Musk is about to be the worlds first Trillionaire.
@icedquinn fast forward to 2021 if someone has a peanut allergy what would happen.
Some have a choice o heat home, feed kids, or feed kids and parents go Hungary (esp now fuel bills are going up)
The government has removed the £20 a week universal credit boost, which is about £80 a month, it was increased during the covid pandemic (which still isn't over)
The government were warned about the impact, I understand that it was temporary BUT it is a huge hit for people who were struggling before.
I agree this is a grown up issue and kids should not be made to suffer we need a highly educated work force in the future this won't happen if kids go to school hungry. The education impacts on this are also well know.

'This deception must end now': Facebook gets letter from 500 health professionals demanding data on COVID misinformation https://eu.usatoday.com/story/tech/2021/11/05/facebook-covid-misinformation-doctors-letter/6275730001/
Yeah, this is Wales, which If I understand it has a LABOUR government in charge, the loudest critics of Boris Johnson in the UK.
So where does Labour actually stand on free school meals. ?
