The relationship between farmers and the sun just got an upgrade #TEDTalks
Exhausted from carrying water up a hill to keep her small farm in Kenya thriving, Josephine Waweru received an unexpected call that offered a nearly unbelievable solution. She shares how one simple device allowed her crops (and her dreams) to flourish — and offers a glimmer of hope in the face of growing climate uncertainty.

Why the World Is Still Not Built for Women | Virginia Santy | TED
Design consultant Virginia Santy set out to create an office space built specifically for women, flipping the script on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways that workplaces and cities still fail them. The results were striking: greater productivity, deeper collaboration and an environment where women felt genuinely valued, leading her to ask a simple question: What…

Most Indians do this anyways

I have done this lately but not intentionally. Just meat is expensive and have been eating cheaper in the week. And just realized now That I haven’t eaten meat lately. Just bread, rice, pasta, beans because it’s cheaper.

@Kristine Hansen yes, most Indians do the same either for economic reasons or cultural/religious reasons, or even both.
Kristine Hansen
April 10, 2023 at 12:33 pm
@Siddharth S Food and electricity has gotten so expensive in the last couple years so I think it’s probably getting more common to eat less meat just because it’s too expensive.

@Almighty Whitey people with a healthy self esteem.
People should be more proud of theirselfs…
That does not mean they’re arrogant.

I don’t believe that people who are cutting back on meat care any more about the suffering of animals than people who eat meat constantly.
They are concerned with their health or something else selfish.

@Chantell J y, but why its lower?
Pamela Cook
April 10, 2023 at 3:09 pm
@twins4an Meat has a much larger carbon footprint than plants, so cutting his meat consumption, reduces his carbon footprint.
twins4an
April 10, 2023 at 3:15 pm
@Pamela Cooki understand what is footprint and logic, if its smaller for meat than reducing meat means smaller footprint. Ty guys, rephrase my question how to compare footprint? How to measure footprint?
Rithmy
April 10, 2023 at 4:40 pm
@twins4an It means that it is more efficient because you need less energy, less water, less land and less work time to produce food for a vegan than for an meat eater.
Additionally youals need to feed the animals that you you hold. So basically you need to feed an animal like all the time to get just a tiny amount of meat. Its lik 5 to 10x more efficient use of agricultur.
twins4an
April 10, 2023 at 4:47 pm
@Rithmy now i see, feeding the animals feels like most impactful thing

I gave up eating the rotting flesh of dead animals in 1968.
My relationship with animals is very different from that of people who eat other beings.

April 10, 2023 at 1:17 pm
I dread to ask what kind of relationship you have with animals then that other people don’t
And fyi, when you eat meat it doesn’t have to be rotting

Wh.. Why were you eating rotting flesh

And what do you eat tho ? Because plants are “other beings” too and they are alive

No you are still contributing to the industry and it’s the meat industry that’s the second biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the planet is overpopulated with humans we need to reduce the number of people at least fourfold to stand a chance of surviving
Rithmy
April 10, 2023 at 4:42 pm
Stop spouting this myth of overpopulation. We are not overpopulated. We have enough for everyone. Its a problem of distribution of resources. Not a problem of total resources.

he didn`t come up with it, the term flexitarian already exists. still doesn`t make him a vegetarian.

the fact that this veg diet can’t and won’t suite every one and a good amount of the claims it surrounded with are biased..

Well, there was a time our family did that, but we ate on the weekend to compensate the other days.
For me, reducing the amount of meat I buy, is the way to go.
Lotschi
April 10, 2023 at 2:54 pm
I approve this idea. Nevertheless it can easily be criticised.
Once you understand that eating meat is not good, why should you keep doing it the Weekend?

People can’t do 100 immediately. Let them do 70 and move forward gradually. It’s better than staying at 0.

It’s good for body I guess. Cavemen wouldn’t have gotten along if it weren’t for meat
Lotschi
April 12, 2023 at 8:55 am
@Bilbao Madrid The crucial point is that we aren‘t Cavemen anymore.
We have new sources of getting our proteins and minerals.
Dom‘t get me wrong, I like his concept and live pretty much upon this but in the long run my goal is to get completely rid of eating animals.
