The elmos and others, please stop making threats on the RMB (even if they are not serious). That sort of thing very easily could get you in trouble with the mods. Either way, it is in horrible taste since there is actual violence being commited by police in response to protests in the US and elsewhere.

Moving on, please take a look at my June environmental thingy here:

I encourage everybody to analyze the environmental impact of the complete life cycle (end-to-end) of any product that you use.

Life cycle analysis is the tool by which a product’s impact on the environment through its lifetime is evaluated. In the context of recycling, it helps to determine if waste reduction, recycle, resource recovery or disposal is the best practicable environmental option. It has been extensively applied in solid waste management (McDougall et al., 2001). The analysis quantifies the energy and raw materials used and solid, liquid and gaseous waste produced at each stage of the process...It can be [e]specially useful in comparing the environmental impact of a product made by recycling and the same made from virgin materials.

I suggest beginning with a visual diagram to guide your research. If you wish to include ethical and/or health analysis in this exercise, that would be wonderful! If you do not wish to write anything, please consider running through this mentally!

I will be writing up my analysis before July. If you write anything, please consider TGing it to me (Turbeaux) because I am hoping to assemble a compilation of these.

Thank you and please stay safe!

Here is my analysis: page=dispatch/id=1397917

I would appreciate it if Mozworld would pin it and ambassadors would disseminate it!
