He must have been underproduced ... last night.

Don't ask me which ones ... I hope it will get better today ...

To return to the subject, this video would be "forwarded" with this one: https://www.econologie.com/forums/reveille-t ... t7589.html

Very good video indeed. I do not find like Christophe that there is paranoia in this description. On the contrary, it exposes simple facts and points out the links between the problems. Who can deny the link between our desire to buy at the lowest price, degraded working conditions and the exploitation of the poorest countries?

I also really like his conclusion: this system was planned by Men, so we can plan to change it because we are also Men.

Let's roll up our sleeves!

To say that breast milk is the most polluted food on earth is a paranoid hair right?

It may concern some women but generalizing as it does is not good.

There are also other figures like the 1% of products still in operation after 6 months which intrigues me!

The 2nd part is much more "better" ...

I found this little video very well.

I passed it on to a colleague at work, his reaction was as follows:

She speaks too fast ...
Pfff, the Americans anyway ...



It's hard to get a message across ...

ps: for someone whose nickname is recycling, what pollution !!

For that it's true, as said above: some passages are ULTRA fast ... I think it's done on purpose even but it's a shame ... but hey it takes nothing away from the message ...

I am not a specialist but I would like to believe that it concentrates all the nutrients but also all the grime consumed by the mother. In addition (but it is a personal theory) during breastfeeding, mom tends to lose the surpluses that she accumulated during pregnancy - and we know that fat cells store toxins which the body does not know what to do. When mom is losing weight the toxins are released and are found in milk.
So yes, it's a bit too generalized but you need strong images to get the message across ...
There are also other figures like the 1% of products still in operation after 6 months which intrigues me!
It also challenged me and I deduced that it was from all purchased products and not just electronic style manufactured products. This therefore includes food, paper, hygiene etc, therefore products which it is normal not to find 6 months after the purchase.
If that is the case, it is certainly not false, but it is only half honest intellectually ... but I am willing to close my eyes to it and I will snub the day when I myself would be perfect : Cheesy:

Well food is a little logical that it disappears after a few months right?

So if the 99% include perishable products, consumable in normal use as well as "energy" that would be plausible ... and again it seems a lot ...

It remains to be seen on what scale are these 99% given?

a) mass
b) volume = number of units (but in this case, 1 ipod = how many kg of coal?)
c) market value
d) other?

In such a condensed message, one should not seek the truth of the detail but the meaning of the whole.
The quality of the criticism is immeasurable compared to Home which is only an observation.
The beginnings of solutions are too sketchy to make a judgment ...
Christophe:
Well, I learned a new word: obsolescence = making a product obsolete!

Well, you read wrong, obsolescence is only the fact that something is obsolete. Afterwards, planned obsolescence is making something obsolete ...

I offer you a new word, very useful in this period: procrastination! : Lol:

Yes, I misspoke ... it's not about giving back. It is to "notice the fact that a product is obsolete" ... a thousand excuses!

Excellent this video, it popularizes the absurdity of the system very well and it is super well done. By cons without the subtitles I am not. It is a submachine gun the girl !! Must hang on! Thanks for the link Christophe.

As for breast milk, I do not know if it is the most polluted food, but it is sure that it is very much. Gilles-Eric Seralini, boss of CRIGENN at the University of Caen and big spawn of studies of combined toxicity of chemical molecules, which I had the chance to see expose his work / conclusions, explains that a baby, at birth , already contains a good package of synthetic chemicals. And it is indeed from the mother that he takes it. So for breast milk, the same fight without a doubt.

This guy and exciting, however what he says is frightening, the example of infants being only one among others.
