Plus you have high energy costs for desalination. Solar energy might help, but the desalination process is slow and needs to run 24 hrs a day to produce enough water efficiently.

Though babble fish is a funny term, Douglas Adams named the creature "Babel fish", after the biblical story of the tower of Babel.
Why not? Still using Windows 7 on one of my ThinkPads. It's a solid system, if you know what you're doing and how to use is safely.
That's nonsense. In Germany, the nuclear phase-out began under the first red-green government in the year 2000 and it was completed in 2011, when the cabinet under Angela Merkel decided to phase out nuclear power by 2022. On 30 June 2011, the German Bundestag voted in favour of the exit with 513 of 600 votes from members of all parties. There's no way that this was controlled by Russia.
There's a huge movement for renewables in Germany and nuclear power always had it tough in the country where there's no space for the save storage of nuclear waste.
Edit: If anything, Russia would even have an interest in longer operating times for nuclear power plants, because the raw materials for many of the fuel elements used in European nuclear power plants still come from Russia until today.
That's why I linked the article where it's explicitly explained that the individual intake of course varies depending on the location and the lifestyle.
In the end, the exact amount of plastic intake is not an important thing to discuss, but the fact that these problems undoubtedly will grow and there's no sign of the packaging industry being regulated.
"On average, global human consumption is estimated at 0.1–5 g of microplastics weekly, equivalent to the weight of a credit card (Senathirajah et al., 2021)."

Die sind doch eh schon zu teuer für die mittelmäßige Qualität. Die letzten Birkenstock-Sandalen sind nach 3 Wochen kaputt gegangen. Wird nicht mehr gekauft.
Smoke is part of every depiction of hell, so 'Inferno' is still applicable.
Soon Musk will offer Trump a special Cybertruck as a replacement for The Beast. Because he doesn't know what to do with all those swasticars nobody buys anymore.
Nuclear power is slow and rigid. And it is absolutely uneconomical in the long run.
Yet another article that tries to create the impression that there might perhaps possibly be theoretical considerations for the return to the use of nuclear power under certain circumstances...
It's unlikely.
Es müsste für so eine Auszahlung zumindest ein neuer Pfandbon gedruckt werden. Die Pfandautomaten gehören i.d.R. nicht den Supermärkten sondern werden von externen Firmen betrieben. Letztlich zahlen die Supermärkte das Pfandgeld im Auftrag der DPG Deutsche Pfandgesellschaft aus und rechnen das dann mit denen ab. Auch das beim Einkauf gezahlte Pfandgeld geht nicht an den Supermarkt, sondern an die DPG.
Die Pfandautomaten sind recht betrugssicher konstruiert, daher vermute ich, dass es nicht so einfach sein dürfte, einen Pfandbon ein zweites Mal auszudrucken.
