    One of the unexpected impacts I experienced when going to zero cups per-day was that I suddenly started dreaming more often and more vividly. It was like how I remember sleep as a …

    I’m also from the UK and I think this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. As a UK founder that has raised in the UK, I have seen our US competitors raise substantially more with substan…

    “entirely different entity” and “completely different third entity” are both doing a lot of heavy lifting

    Yes, this is where the *nuance* mentioned at the start of my reply comes in. It *should* include all scopes, including upstream emissions from purchased goods and services from abr…

    While there's a lot of nuance to this: in carbon accounting it is standard practice to account for the same emission more than once. Carbon inventories are broken out into three di…

    The product looks super interesting, but it's hard to know if it's worth exploring without any knowing anything about pricing?

    FYI: the link to the pricing page doesn't appear in your mobile menu

    Neither investment in EVs and repairing transmission issues live in isolation and both can be invested in at the same time. Solving one issue might also help solve the other (e.g. …

    I think it’s great! I’d really like to be able to enter my email to get a daily unobtrusive reminder to my inbox.

    but event "emissions" isn't a simple calculation No one is claiming that it is, but there are standardised reporting practices to ensure proper coverage of emissions when published…

    I realise I’m just replying to a troll’s cherry picked list at this point, but come on you’re not even trying. All of those chips and fabs all rely on ASML? Those manufacturers you…

    Our business has an API that can be used for displaying dynamic information at point of sale (i.e. dynamic in that it cannot be cached and will need a DB call). While we encourage …

    Agreed. I work in the sustainability industry, and forestry carbon accounts for a small minority of offsets available. It also has plenty of well documented flaws so we often steer…

    I agree, it makes no sense to have them stored in the same password manager. One of the things I like about 1Password is that we were able to switch off the built in TOTP for our w…

    Comment #29095961

    Totally agree, it’s crazy to have your 2FA and password manager be the same application. You can actually disable 1Password’s 2FA and tie a different 2FA. I’m not sure if it’s just…

    Damage costs != offsetting costs Every extra tonne of CO2 does cost $196+ (I’ve seen credible estimates as high as $400), but through offsetting you could verifiably ensure that mo…

    I'm not sure David Irving can be called a scholar or a valid source considering he has been firmly debunked, and lost his libel suit because he lied and made up sources. To quote o…

    I'd recommend trying the Rude Health brand. Alternatively, making your own nut milk is super easy. Just soak the nuts in 4x amount of water overnight, then blend, then strain... do…

    Completely agree, I'd probably say my favourite latte is with almond milk, but I wouldn't call it a dairy latte alternative since it has a radically different flavour. I found the …
