Google, which has an ambitious plan to address climate change with cleaner operations, came nowhere close to its goals last year, according to the company’s annual Environmental Report Tuesday.
I joined the Microsoft climate solutions team, I think doing so has crushed all my hopes. That team is doing small things like “let’s all go plastic free for July!”
Top 20 company in the world and the best we can do is go plastic free for a month?
Meanwhile MSFT is not on course to meet their own climate goal by 2030
the thing about this is that yes, CURRENTLY plastic recycling fucking sucks, but if we ACTUALLY BUILT SOME FUCKING RECYCLING FACILITIES that would change…
here in sweden we’re building a recycling facility in Motala that will be able to properly recycle a good chunk of our plastic packaging, it’s clearly doable, let’s fucking build them.
what kind of recycling plant, because it matters greatly as of efficiency
if you just want to remelt it, then sure, it works pretty well, but you have to have that plastic sorted by type and clean, and then you need to have a use case that would accept potentially unsanitary plastic
or you could just say fuck it all, and treat is as a kind of extremely heavy crude, but this is pretty inefficient, kg per kg

we’re aiming to do 1% more recycling this year 💪💪💪
recycling plastic is not as shiny as advertised, just burn this shit for energy instead
I like it. Burn trash to power data centers running LLMs. Garage in, garbage out
it’s better used for municipal heating, you know, something actually useful
Instructions unclear, burned datacenter instead.
(To any 3 letter agencies reading this, I’m making a joke, I’m not pro burning down datacenters, that is Yuds thing).

no, my point is specifically that we’re building a plant that can cleanly recycle into basically virgin-grade material and can sort on-site.

Less recycling more reusing bottles for molotovs please
reduce, reuse, recycle, retaliate
I’m on a group text with your exec colleagues. Disheartening would be an understatement.
you’re our guy on the inside then? we can hit it from the outside and maybe we can accomplish together
