Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Yes, that is how it is with us. The nearest recycling center is in the district town and km away. There are a few towns in between, but none of them have such a recycling center.

And since the paper bin is only collected every few weeks, it is naturally always overflowing. What am I supposed to do when I get a few large boxes.
It’s not always the case. I am not the only one with this problem. The yellow bin is the same in yellow.
I no longer get upset about it.

I always read the reports in the newspaper about littering in the forest and in the fields with great interest.

According to what standard? Too many cows, too many chickens, too many dogs, too many rats? And who set the limits? I must have been asleep back then. Or were those the ones that fell from the sky carved on stone tablets?

I determine it by the fact that we sustainably consume more than the Earth can "deliver." There is the so-called Earth Overshoot Day. Of course, you can also say that we are not overpopulated, but too wasteful.

Here there is the option to have pickups more often, of course for a fee. Which brings us back to indirect housing costs.

Throwing trash in the forest is of course absolutely not acceptable.

Ecological building was done 150 years ago. Not anymore today.

In the past, you needed a clay pit, a bit of cow manure, and a cow. With that, they built clay houses without timber framing with the best climatic properties. And today, you get an excavator, sort out the wood, and push everything flat. 100 percent recyclable.

The barn was next to the kitchen, and the residual heat from the animals created a good indoor climate. Even without a heat pump and wood stove.

No one questions here why we need so much energy. So we consider how to simply continue this madness technologically CO2-neutral. Example e-mobility: We do not question our mobility behavior but think that we can simply replace combustion cars with electric cars.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is present in the with a of about 0.04% (about 400 ) in the .
Now we are talking about the share that Germany accounts for. This is 1.9 percent of the worldwide CO2 emissions.

That is now 0.00076 percent of the total CO2 content of the atmosphere. So this is exactly the portion we can influence.

The federal government now wants to reduce CO2 emissions by 50 percent by 2030. Then the German CO2 share in the atmosphere would be 0.00038 percent. I don’t know if it’s even possible to measure to the fourth decimal place.

All huge nonsense.

How one can deal with numbers objectively. Put your feet in a freezer and your head in an oven. Regulate the oven so that the average temperature of your body is 37.5 degrees Celsius. All good, right?
Nice that you yourself rate that as nonsense.

Let's assume the following situation:

It is summer 2051. You are sitting in your house at 48 degrees and watching TV. You receive an automatically generated message on your smartphone: Severe weather warning. Heavy rain expected in the evening. Your routine begins: You go to your storage room and check whether your emergency supplies of water, canned goods, and batteries are sufficient to survive the upcoming chaos for at least 2 weeks. You are afraid, but two months ago the last flood passed relatively harmlessly and after a week the cleanup was far enough advanced that grocery stores could reopen. While you are annoyed making preparations around your house, you are at the same time glad to be here. After all, life is still possible here while large parts of Asia and the Mediterranean region are uninhabitable due to drought. Nevertheless, you feel powerless and exposed to raw nature. Your preparations are complete. You go back into your house and wait – there is nothing else you can do. While you wait, you go online and read archived forum posts from 2021 by your parents complaining about prohibition policies and saying that “the others” in the world are even worse – only a holistic view would make sense and as long as China does not reduce CO2 emissions, we don’t need to do it either. With a laughing and crying eye, you close the archive – They could have known better, you think.

"We always hope for the next day, probably the next day hopes a lot from us." (Ernst R. Hauschka)

I'm not saying that nothing should be done. I'm just of the opinion that wind & sun cannot sustainably cover our immense energy demand. Perhaps the problem also lies in the fact that we consume too much.
