Is Ecomodder an environmental website?

I don't see a poll function, so people will have to reply to answer the question.

My binary answer to the binary question is - no.

There are no threads discussing the environments of the Bog Buck Moth. There are no threads discussing the environments of the Panamanian golden frog. There are no threads discussing the environments of the scalloped hammerhead shark. There are no threads discussing the environments of the Black-footed ferret.

The only environments I regularly see discussed have to do with human ones, usually centered around how to heat or cool economically.

The home page shows a bunch of cars, indicating this is a website centered around automobiles. I saw no mention of any environment on the home page.

Hopefully some serious people will reply.

Ask serious questions, get serious responses.

You're not asking ANY questions to learn, but to impose your religious values on others by inciting other similarly-motivated folks to rebuke non-believers with personal insults.

Petition the mods to nuke this thread and spawn a new one with the poll you want.

Seriously.

Threadjack:

The reason to be optimistic is that things can change. Else things can't not change.

Current estimation of how far in the past our demise was, presume stagnant technology.

Bucky Fuller's favorite example of Synergy was metal alloys, more than the summation of their parts.

As it turns out, Terran Space Academy is a thorough, informative (dare I say serioous?) source for emergent technology. This episode would be 1/2 hour of your time at 1x.

Hydrocarbon Fuel Cell Breakthrough!

Introduction invokes metal hydrides and Appollo 13, but the second half gets really interesting. Nanoscale 3D printed metamaterials. Beyond Inconel to GRX-810. Structured alloys enable 50-60% efficient use of the hydrocarbons you despise.

Fuller always said that if we could improve the overall efficiency of everything taken as a whole (he put it at 8 to 12%) everyone could live better than kings. 25 to 60% efficiency in what we are already doing would get us there.

Also, New CPU Technology just Arrived �� IBM, Imec, Intel -- Anastasi In Tech. CPU will get 20% smaller and 24% more efficient. ....Real Soon Now...

Ecomodder historically had a thrifty hippie vibe with a definite old school view of conservation and environmentalism

Waste not want not.

Things were more open minded and project based.

Many here historically could have been considered liberal or environmentally focused despite running a twin cylinder diesel in a Geo
but a kurmudeony subset has taken root.
