Think about it harder. 😁

Controlled burn with modern air controls.

These days know how to incinerate practically anything without significant air pollution. Countries like Switzerland incinerate essentially 100% of their non-recycled trash.

Air quality is an easy one to solve: we're damn good at building incinerators. Costs more money. But we can certainly do it.

CO2 is a real problem. But it's not a very significant one compared to other fossil fuel uses. And as we eventually get more and more plant-derived plastics, that'll close the loop and make CO2 irrelevant.

Just incinerate it. Don't leave it in the ground for a future generation to deal with.

Depends on the circumstances. If you have a good source of clean cardboard that can be easily shipped to a recycling plant the economic value of the cardboard can certainly be higher recycled vs burnt.

Let the market decide.

Note that one consideration is recycling cardboard mixed with plastics is definitely a microplastics hazard as it produces a lot of microplastics contaminated wastewater. If you just incinerate it properly, you eliminate that hazard. Some uses of cardboard for packaging have a lot of plastics mixed in; others do not. We might be better off eliminating consumer paper recycling in favor of incineration, and allowing more controlled recycling (eg boxes from wearhouses) to continue.

...and yes, in general we should be using incineration a _lot_ more to fully eliminate plastic waste rather than leave it for a future generation to deal with.

Question: are people making use of wood pellet stoves? I've seen those used in an apartment-style building in Italy before by plumbing the exhaust out of a window. They do need a bit of power to operate. But some are as low as 75W continuous.

Catalytic propane heaters are another option that might work well. They can be run indoors. Though they do add humidity to the air so might not be on balance a solution for mold.

Yes! Just opened a little bit. Not the whole way.

I got my Kyiv sleeping bag at Decathlon. A cheap synthetic one is ideal for this use-case: you don't care how bulky it is or how much it weighs. And synthetic handles moisture better.

Unfortunately in the long run if you have consistent cold weather mold will be an issue... Homes need enough heat to stay dry. There's no good answer there other than finding some way to get heat.

It's good. But the problem is it relies on Liquid, which is a trusted, centralized, system with control of your coins. Phoenix puts you in genuine control of your funds.

Yes, multiple pairs. Plus a sleeping bag rated to 0°C. So far heating is working fine here. Hell, I left the windows open a bit to better hear the air raid. Should reduce the chance the windows get broken if there is a close hit too.

One of the many apartment buildings hit tonight by Russian shaheds. Unfortunately due to the snowy, foggy, weather anti-air defense is having a very hard time. Typically about 95% of shaheds get shot down. Not tonight...
