@carlsetzer We solved this problem ages ago, with new and revised editions. Paper can be recycled easily and even if thrown out, it decomposes way quicker then anything found in any electronic device... @nixCraft

@DL_Draco_Rex only if you are in the US. Adults will remain in possession of their communication devices. @nixCraft

@dalias @DL_Draco_Rex *bullies where also using phones to record and expose LGBTQIA+ kids and girls on social networks.

@elnecesario@mastodon.social @marioguzman@mastodon.social I migrated to Deezer and it was very simple to transfer my playlists - the app itself offered the option. (there's just a tiny issue with credits, tho - even the playlists I didn't curated, but only followed, came as "mine" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

@jpaskaruk @BlakeHamiltonCA I agree and also desagree with this! Learning to regulate one's emotion is different from "learning to control bad feelings", which I would call toxic positivity. Learning to regulate means you can actually learn how to aim your anger at the right place - for fighting for better conditions to you and yours, for example. We absolutely have to look at the whole picture, but I don't think it is a case of ONE OR THE OTHER...

@dalias @DL_Draco_Rex By experience, I would say that it solves less problems than it creates. Where I'm from, cellphone use is banned in schools since last year (apart from specific pedagogical uses, accessibility or health needs) and the difference it made was huge - kids are back at running around and playing together at recess, communication is better between everybody, focus improvement and several adolescents even thanked the ban, in our student assembly, because they felt it helped them with their addiction to the phone. Also, now we have more authority to deal with ciberbullying, which has been a huge problem for us - bigger then physical (or analog) bullying. (They still use computers, and in our school we are considering to reduce the use, but not banning.)

@contrasocial@mastodon.social @kathhayhoe@fediscience.org you are not wrong, but I reckon this take is over simplistic. even in the Our World in Data you can see the per capta emissions and, and here is the important bit, the historical progression. take Europe (and the regions of Africa and others places it used to control) and the US and analise it with this question in mind: is it fair the rich countries, that got rich by exploring everything and everyone, now demands countries that are getting richer and making life for its people better to curb that because said rich countries now developed a conscience? I'm not saying we should follow the destruction method or not care for environment, I'm just pointing out the complexity. western rich countries need to be held MORE accountable. and yet, places like China and Brazil, places that were harmed by colonialism and power play for such a long time and are, now, getting richer and prosperous (I'm not talking about just numbers, I'm talking taking people from the hunger map and etc), are developing it's industries and technology I a way more green way then the western world did. China is emitting a lot os CO2 but is aware and has a huge decrease plan for it - but to develop green tech, you need traditional industrial ways first...
