They’re known for launching spears and arrows at visitors, but their aversion towards outsiders might be what’s keeping them from going extinct. Other tribes have been decimated by disease after contact. Hopefully others continue to respect their independence.

Not sure what you are suggesting the better alternative would be? Scrap it? Whoever purchased the used vehicle could have bought a new car instead (which would have required more raw materials for processing).
One common issue I noticed among environmentalists is they argue with each other about what the perfect solution should be instead of just starting somewhere. Any progress is better than nothing at the rate the climate is changing and such progress tends to compound over time.
Great idea, jotted down a list of things I’ve found to be impactful over the past year, some of them overlap with what’s already been posted.
Installed solar panels (according to my app, last year they produced enough MWh to equal 8.5 tons of CO2)
Trade in our ICE car for an EV (in a year has avoided 5.5 tons of CO2)
Insulated our house (attic and walls) coupled with double-pane windows. Cuts down on AC and furnace usage immensely and makes the house much more pleasant overall
Prefer 100% cotton clothing/avoid synthetic materials
Installed a Lint-Luv-R microplastic filter on our washing machine
Shop at refillable container store and avoid single-use plastic where possible
Eat more plant-based food, e.g. oat milk, rice, tofu, beans, noodles, etc.
Install a rain diverter in our downspouts to collect rain water
Reusable diapers if you have an infant/toddler. Diaper waste piles up fast
Run/walk to the gym and grocery store
Prefer items made in North America versus overseas (cargo ships burn bunker fuel )
For coffee, I bring a travel cup and ask if they can fill that instead of a plastic cup (iced) or cup with a plastic lid (hot)
Donate to reputable environmental organizations
Replace landscaping with native plants, allow pollinators to do their thing
Vote for the world you want to live in and pass on: with your time, dollar, and ballot
No single human activity has a bigger impact on the planet than the production of food
Better for your health, better for the planet, better for animals. Every bit helps and this is a win-win-win.
Sounds like when they tried pushing “clean coal”
Pretty cool, thanks for sharing
Persona 5 is my jam. Liked it so much I bought it on vinyl. Nier Automata is good too, more haunting and lends to the game’s mood/ambience. I think Firewatch is like this too. Jet Set Radio Future and Persona 3 are also really groovy.
