  • Genuinely there needs to be a fee that companies must pay for the pollution they create, with it written into law that they can’t palm the cost off on their customers.

    We need to move shipping away from the ‘barely more refined than crude oil’ fuels they use

    We need to ensure protection of the oceans by making it so that outflowing waste from industry never reaches the watercourse in the first place.

    Single use plastics need to be removed from the supply chain (alternatively changed at the production level so they’re made from plant cellulose or a material that doesn’t break down into PFOAS or microplastics)

    We also need to block petrochemical companies from lobbying or interfering with politics, and prevent them from funding smear campaigns against renewable energy sources




  • Got a few science and tech channels; Tech Ingredients - in depth breakdowns of semi advanced technology from the perspective of a guy that can explain every step, how to build it yourself it and how to modify it to be better, may be a lecturer or just a very knowledgeable engineer. (most recent vid was building an underground heatsink to turn an inefficient window aircon unit into an absolute beast of a cooler, channel has also made DIY Graphene and ultra reflective paint for passively cooling buildings)

    AvE - ‘Good old uncle bumblefuck’ a guy that takes apart tools and goes through the good the bad and the ugly. Occasionally posts machining videos, often amusing breakdowns of cheap tools.

    Bigclivedotcom - Scotsman that buys ebay electronics and shows the good the bad and the ugly of how they’re made/what will kill you if it gains a fault.

    Acorn to Arabella; A climber with access to a few generations old woodland, hand builds a boat from a 1920s design, learns to sail and sets off on an adventure (currently out sailing, lots of very satisfying build videos such as melting lead over a bonfire and pouring a multi-tonne keel.

    Still tech-y but more lighthearted; Nilered - Modern day equivalent of a mad scientist, has made alcohol from toiler paper, grape soda out of nitrile gloves and cherry soda out of tolulene.

    William Osman - the most ADHD of adult neurodivergents, currently trying to make a farm in his back garden (where the ground is 90% sand) He runs Open Sauce, which is a technology and creator convention. Also wrote a tv show called Scare the Coyote

    StyroPyro - another mad scientist but with lasers this time, builder of the macrowave - a microwave so overpowered it can melt tungsten and make plasma out of almost anything instantly. Sometimes goes storm chasing.
