NTNU - Sustainable Think Tank

Damn, I like the notion of this:

Dersom alle bygg i Norge fikk solceller, kunne de dekket det årlige strømbehovet til nesten 1,4 mill. husstander Ville kunne produsert 26 TWh i året.

En gledelig nyhet for de som også er litt glad i dyrene, selv om vi spiser de.

Bytter ut 14 millioner kyllinger av hensyn til dyrevelferden Norsk Kylling og REMA 1000 innfører en ny kyllingrase som både lever lenger og vokser saktere enn kyllingen som er vanligst å produsere i Norge. – Dette er som en revolusjon innenfor norsk landbruk, mener Dyrevernalliansen.

Lately I've had a small experiment at home.

Because I only need to feed myself and most foods comes in family packaging’s or sizes I happen to contribute a lot more to food waste than I want and bread is one of the products that suffers badly from my poor management. Most people recommend me to freeze a portion of the bread and save it for later but I've experienced that the quality falters and I often end up heating it for 5 min at 50C. To avoid this, I've now tested cooling the bread in the fridge. The results are that I don't throw bread any longer (even less than when I froze it), the quality last much longer (almost a week) and I use no more energy as I already need to open the fridge to get the butter and cheese.

Conclusion: Put your bread in the fridge :) This transfer to almost all vegetables also btw.

God news everyone (for a change) :D

Todays ecofriendly tip: Buy the wierd looking fruits and vegetables in the store :) - your contribution does definitively help! Aprox 0,5 kg CO2 eq per kg broccoli for example.

Good news every one!
- or no, rather bad news actually. Here comes a quite interesting documentary about the Permian extinction. The cause might suprise you and the consequences are closely related to some of the challenges we face today. I actually learned a lot of new things in this documentary :)

Catastrophe - The Permian Extinction Racism, denialism or creationism will not be tolerated. The Permian--Triassic extinction event, informally known as the Great Dying, was an extinction event ...
