There is probably an issue of disposing of old heat pumps in years to come.

It should be possible to make things so they can be recycled or at least last a long time, then be recycled.

Again this is why we need to push STEM so people can come up with these ideas and solutions.

@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople

If we can get non technical people on board, such as those who deal with e-safety, mental health etc, we could get input from them too.

@pamby1 @sigma @professortom

:)

i Don't mind opposing views, as discussion leads to better solutions.

The uk wants people to install heat pumps, very expensive, not sure how they remove heat from the air out side, during the winter when it is sub zero or very cold temperatures.

We have the tech to install solar panels roof tops which can be used to heat water, that to me makes far more sense.

I am on there too, recently joiined the fediverse Special interest group (it is also on my CV)

@pamby1 @sigma @professortom

This is how things should be, we don't generally need government to tell us how, as a community we can usually help each other do that.

@Nobody@freeatlantis.com I think the problem with Jab mandates it they don;t take in to account people who can't have the vaccine for what ever reason, usually a health condition.

You can't have a one size fits all policy.

@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople

Yes, are you on

I think they are looking for more input / ideas on taking things forward.

Indeed and there was a post citing boss of Lush saying they would be happy to lose 10 million if they could stay off facebook.

I think the tide is turning, we just need to keep going.

On Trump I just hope the media don't imply that the Fediverse is all trumps work,

@sigma @pamby1 @professortom

In some ways I also feel this is being weaponised by people, it is as if older people are causing the issue, we are trying to do the right thing, recycle more etc.

I did write to Lidl UK a while back to ask about them using alternatives to plastic to wrap drinks cans for example.

They do have a plan for this, so to me writing to companies and asking a question, suggesting ideas is far more useful than blocking motorways for example.

People are not going to listen to people like Greta Thunberg if they feel she is just going to attack them for everything they try and do.

@sigma @pamby1 @professortom

This is the problem that important issues end up as political agendas

There is tech available that allows us to burn coal more cleanly.

We can plant more trees.

As for cars / vehicles that use fossil fuels, effects on climate aside, the effects of breathing in Oxides of Carbon, Nitrogen, Sulfur as well as other chemicals are well known. So surely we need to look alternatives for that reason.

I would much rather see more emphasis on other means of getting around clean.

Oddly we have car charging points, which get their own power from burning fossil fuels

We have the technology for all of this, just not the political will to act.

@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople

Yes I agree there, reminds me of the one that is Year of the Linux Desktop, it has been that for 20 years +

Still no closer to that.,

@humanetech @dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople

How about #TheYearFacebookDies :D

On a serious note

I think we can just stick to #TheYearOfTheFediverse that way anyone clicking on that will find more related content,

@pamby1 @sigma @professortom

So if he gets back in, will the US reverse the policy on Coal and fossil fuels, and start burning coal again despite pledges and the known effects on global warming of burning coal. ?

@AnonymousBosch :)

@dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople @humanetech

Looks good, do we need a new hashtag for next year too.

Current one seems to be
#YearOfTheFediverse

Perhaps we keep going with that, as there is also

#YearOfTheFedizen
