  • [[Read]]: [[Wasteland]]
    • In the epilogue, a bit of reflection on how we actually reduce waste.

    • Ultimately, his conclusion seems to be: [[degrowth]]. Consume less, produce less.
      • That doesn’t really address the problems of industrial waste though.

  • Blurters gonna blurt.

    • [[microblurting]].
    • Going to try popping them in daily files in a subfolder.
  • Read: [[Wasteland]].

    • [[Nuclear waste]]. [[Sellafield]].
    • The book is great, well written and researched.
    • But I’m finding the subject matter ultimately quite depressing.
    • Particularly as it’s getting into [[industrial waste]]. It’s huge in scale.
    • [[Nuclear power]] and the corresponding waste is such a prime example of human hubris and folly.
    • This shit is going to be around for tens of thousands of years, yet we don’t seem to have a clue what we’re doing with it.
