    Microsoft, Google, Meta and Apple products.

    Bonus round: Twitter, Amazon, Nestle, KiwiFarms, Substack, American News and we all could stand to cut out some sugar.

    Don’t use any of their services and delete existing accounts.

    I would.

    Took down all my stuff. It was years ago. Obviously they have their own copy somewhere in their Ai training database…

    But it felt good taking it all down.

    Like no. You don’t get to have any of my stuff with my permission anymore. You get to do it the hard way and fight my ad-blocker.

    In terms of common consumer products?

    Dryer sheets, which are typically made from polymer fibers. Use wool dryer balls instead.

    Single-use water bottles - just buy a water bottle.

    Ziplock bags for food storage - buy some solid, washable food containers with rubber seals. They'll keep food better for longer.

    Also stop using the plastic bags in the produce section at the grocery store - get some reusable produce bags instead. The ones I have are thin mesh that doesn't block the barcode scanner at the checkout. The only produce I don't recommend this for is stuff that is typically wet like lettuce.

    Basically try to avoid single-use plastics, many are unrecyclable (soft plastics like bags frequently just end up in landfill) or just dump extra plastic fibers into the environment (like dryer sheets). There are good reusable options for most of them.

    Fish and seafood. There is no sustainable fishery and the oceans are dying because of it.

    No industrialised animal products are sustainable, and even if they were there is an unthinkable amount of suffering from it. Everyone should stop buying anything with animal products in it.

    I'm surprised this is the first I've heard of this, are local fish hatcheries not sustainable?

    They are not

    findingsCommon amongst the more than 150 studies that concluded hatcheries had an adverse effect on wild salmonid populations were negative impacts such as reduced genetic diversity due to interbreeding with hatchery fish, reduced average size of wild fish, reduced overall abundance of wild fish populations, and reduced fitness for natural reproduction.
