Proves their point! He is one of those criminal refugees himself, isn't he? First hand knowledge.

Free people as in free from exploitation, free from polluted environments, free from unsafe work conditions? Then I'm with you.

How far is the "forseeable" future? It has to be safe for longer than mankind has existed. Since we don't even know very much about civilisations as recent as the stone age, I don't trust today's storage people.

Sometime soon they'll hide the "break" function in some sub-menu of the "speed" tree, to replace the break pedal.

Of course there's a reason. It's called fraud. If they sell not so "green" products, then greenwashing is fraud, plain and simple.

They are still allowed to sell those not so green products for cheap, but they are no longer allowed to outright lie about the colour.

I simply use a cup for my coffee (https://pngimg.com/uploads/mug_coffee/mug_coffee_PNG16835.png)

Reducing the amount you buy doesn't reduce the particles shed during wearing and washing.

But of course buying less overall, and as much second hand as possible, is always the better option not just for clothes. And some skills in mending your clothes so you don't have to throw them away just because of a broken zipper or a ripped seam.

Best investment: a sewing machine.

Linen and wool whenever possible. Or cotton, which has some issues (needs a lot of water to grow, gets damp very easily - sweat and rain! - and takes a long time to dry)

Sounds strange, but: don't go shopping with an empty stomach. That easily leads to impulse purchases.

Make a shopping list, and stick to it. But be flexible: If you planned a cucumber salad and find tomatos are on sale, change your menu: tomato salad it will be. Leave the cucumbers in the shop.

Many herbs can be grown on your balcony or even your windowsill.

Getting microplastic out of the water is important.

But in the long run that's not the solution. Microplastic is not just in the water, but everywhere, like in the soil. Textiles not only shed plastic when you wash them, but even more when you wear them. Solution: don't buy. Use natural fibres.

Same with plastic utensils, cups, plates, containers etc.: don't use! There have been alternatives for (almost) as long as humans exist. From wood to metal to ceramics to glass.

My golden rule: If I can't pay cash, I can't afford it. Easy.

Detained for not using a flight you bought and paid for? Can someone please ban those airlines and grant this poor boy a compensation of 1.5 million per minute of detention?

That's absolutely unacceptable.
