Here’s a similar project in a different format: Meshtastic Harbor Breeze Solar Node https://www.instructables.com/Meshtastic-Harbor-Breeze-Solar-Node/

That’s pretty cool!

In my mind, local food is more about the economics of supporting small businesses in your community. Sure, eating beans and lentils shipped across the world to your closest whole foods may have a smaller carbon footprint, but your money is still being siphoned to the big businesses in that supply chain.

You mean the ones who were dumb enough to be the figureheads. The smart ones are the ones you don’t hear about in the news, but spend their money to put forward the dummy who perpetuates the systems that made them wealthy.

I consider the money I spent installing solar panels on my house an investment. My electric bill is less than $10 per month. If the stock market tanks, my electric bill will still be less than $10 per month. I helped support a local solar company and a solar manufacturer.

For investing, I use https://fossilfreefunds.org/ to help screen funds. Like you ate discovering, “ESG” is a broad term that gets slapped on a lot of things that may not fit your definition.

Sphere is one fund in particular that uses their voting power to try and steer the companies whose stock they hold away from fossil fuels.

This isn’t really storage… All of that C02 will be released when that beer is opened and consumed.

So basically they’ve used fancy chemistry to make a better dehumidifier. “Dry air” is still around 20% humidity according to their website.

Overall, there’s just not a lot of moisture in the air for these types of systems to squeeze out. I’d be interested to see a cost/benefit analysis compared to just delivering water from somewhere else in an emergency.

Beeper is like this, but the list of supported messaging apps is limited. It does have FB messenger though.

Personally, I think you have to realize that you cannot singlehandedly fight every battle. Then pick one cause that is important to you and go fight for that. Get past the overwhelm and take action on something.
