No - that's not the name of a new Noir girl, but instead the Category 5 system that still hovers over the east coast of the US. In fact, this hurricane has made me wonder over the weekend whether the sexiest girl-next-door in Noir (yes Cyndi_J) would in tact after it was over. Thankfully, no major issues, at least as of 1430 EST when I last saw her. When I'm NOT in enjoying the Noir Palace, let's just say I "do science" in my professional life and keep it at that. I "do science" enough to know that this damn hurricaine is a result of a global pattern of climate change that does threaten us. Oh God - imagine all of your power being wiped out, to where you could't come onto RLC or be in the Noir Palace!! I don't think I could personally handle more than 24 hours ... maybe not even 12. But every time we have weather patterns like now (along with the Amazon fire caused partyly by drought) we are reminded that this is serious stuff. So, Simoni asked me to put together a list of things that the average person can do to fight climate change. You can all do this during your recovery periods ater being debauched by Noir girls.
Here's a great link to learn about the 148 things that people can do to help mitigate climate change. This link provides everthing from high-impact to low-impact (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa7541)
Here are some of my favorite easy ones:
1. Avoid 1 plane flight ... no, don't drive ... just don't fly somewhere ... vacation locally)
2. Eat a plant-based diet ... or just try the damn Impossible Burger at Burger King, for fuck's sake (hereafter FFS)
3. Buy energy-efficient products
4. Re-use things (or just get a reusalble shopping bag FFS)
5. Plant a tree (hell, plant 10 ... FFS)
6. Don't mow your damn lawn so much (nobody gives a shit that it's so green FFS until you need to sell your house)
7. Run a full dishwasher (How hard is this, FFS?)
8. Pay for some carbon offsets (What?) ... yeah .. you can buy credits to offset your carbon footprint ... easy stuff to learn through online vendors.
9. Carpool, FFS. Easy one.
10. Have skills? Install a solar panel, FFS. Not complicated.
Come on people! We need to save Cyndi_J from the next hurricaine. If she gets swept away, we will blame anyone who didn't help!
DANG!!! Simoni !! I need a raise to buy some bottles!
