Actually, a lot of applications of steel in construction could and should be partially replaced with bamboo. Ideal and cery promising is the combining of bamboo frames with other materials for regular buildings.

On bamboo-steel composite:

Bamboos 3 times cheaper,, AND its got a very small climate impact. The environmental impact of buildings could be greatly reduced by using this alternative frame construction method, combined with green modifications to wall construction, etc.

EDIT; there are also ways to produce steel at a fraction of the environmental impact of conventional production methods, but it costs more. This can be offset by combining steel with the cheap bamboo into a composite frame.

Bulgaria was named after the bulgars, an oghur Turkic people. But certainly thats not what they were referring to, as thats very recent history.

But just the title is wrong, as asian just designates people from a continent today.

Siberia is known to be the origin point of the most clusters of east asians proper (northern). China, Japan, Korea, all of those are rather southern populations, or really a mix of southern and northern elements, much closer to southeast asians than to northern asians. True northern east eurasians are groups like the Ket, Evenki, Nenet, Eskimo-Aleuts. Tungusic, Ket people are from the same language family as the Na Dene native americans such as the Athabaskans like Navajo, the Dene-Yeniseian family.

Climate change and anthropogenic pollution have impacts worth mentioning beyond just ecology: e.g. evolutionary pressures of climate change (evolutionary biology), impacts of microplastics on the human body or corals (human and marine biology), degree and speed of extinction of different species, changes to biomes (biogeography), plastic eating microbes (microbiology) and so on and on.

No idea what kind of inner conflict this rambling is symptomatic of but i think our time can be better spent than this nonsense.

Thats an utterly false analogy. We are talking about changing ecosystems (due to climate change), and pupils learning wrong outdated information, not adding geophysics to bio class.

No injections from other sciences are being added (not learning geophysics there) just ecology being adapted to the times and context being added. Otherwise you're learning not ecology but paleoecology

ecology has so so so many intersecting points w the climate, you can remark on the changing effects of climate change on the ecosystem every page

Ecology is an entire semester in 4th grade of high school bio class in my country.;

1st year: basic biochem, biomolecules, codones, blabla

2nd: taxonomy, the tree of life and various groups of animals

3rd: human biology and plant biology

4th grade: genetics, genomics + ECOLOGY

Sequestered carbon in the form of Forests is back in the atmosphere with the first wildfire. And boy will there be many ,many, many. The Mediterranean and Siberia have been burning up for years.

Carbon offsets and similar stuff are distractions to keep consumption at unsustainable levels, and plain ole scams; and then you have both the big emissions that were supposedly "offset" and the additional carbon in trees burning up (thats when corporations actually do anything and arent just "planting" their offsets in the Australian desert...)

Now we should keep finding new ways, but defo wouldn't count on trees, and such sabotaging scams as carbon offsets

Sayin Just in case.

fermented stuff is good, if low fodmap yes.

These probiotics have a higher success rate than synthetic ones. I had ideas of fermenting fruit soy yogurt (its good!) on my own, but dropped it because in europe soy milk is high fodmap so and they dont sell small tetra-pak of soy milk, only 1 L sadly.

I also have fodmap intolerance (and a whole host of mental stuff, both trauma and ASD/OCD/Tourettes neurotype repated) and it has helped me too. Though its not a long term solution ideally keep in mind, it can cause you to not get enough nutrients.

probiotics are a mixed bag, you are pretty much playing russian roulette.

Fecal transplants help w such primary cases of depression, EDs and so on.

Many things could save so many lives, many past inventions, like insulin fir example. Yet, our capitalist economic system does not prioritise that, it prioritises profit. So instead of being used to help beings in pain, such inventions are generally used to squeeze out profit, buried behind high paywalls.

Id caution against techno-utopianism in the context of our reality. There is no chance of anything similar in capitalism.j

the tea is that while voting is a must, otherwise you are self sabotaging, america also needs direct action (protests, green strikes, etc) if you want things to move.

Just voting will not do significant enough changes in any country, politicians must be pushed to do more, more explicitly.

Remember how the civil rights act was passed.

no country has a truly effective electoral system because of capital interests, but i agree that america is so economically right wing that nothing even vaguely progressive achieves broad electoral success, only locally.

You have a problematic two party state organisation, no proportional representation, an electoral college and such.

"Use of smartphone" is a wide concept

Does it specificy what contents the individuals were consuming? I dont think someone who spends all time on instagram is in the same biat as someone who constantly watches philosophy and science videos on their smartphone.

or is it just a matter of less real life social interaction.
