It is #paradoxical that the higher the level of #climate #awareness, the higher the biological #footprint in terms of #emissions.

1) Climate awareness requires a certain level of #education.
2) The higher the level of education, the higher the income.
3) The higher the income, the higher the #consumption.
4) High consumption leads to high emissions.

A growing # of people are interested in switching to #plantbased alternatives to #dairy.

Cow’s milk has much higher impacts than the plantbased alternatives. It causes around 3 times as much greenhouse gas emissions; uses around 10 times as much land; 2 to 20 times as much freshwater.

If you want to reduce the environmental #footprint of your diet, switching to plant-based alternatives is a good option.

Hello #fediverse!

i've been lurking for a while on another server, but it's time to make my home here.

So here's my #introduction post. My handle is @vitskapsdama, which means the Science Lady in Norwegian. I'm a medical writer and #science educator, and have worked for a non-profit youth organisation.

I'm born in #Indonesia, grew up in the #Netherlands and moved in the early 2000s with my family to a small village in #Norway.

I'm interested in Life, the Universe and Everything, love to explore what comes my way and am a lifelong #learner. I love learning by doing and am an #arts and #crafts person.

I try to lead a #sustainable life and to minimize my #footprint, but modern society does not make that easy. So I like to learn from others and maybe share what works for me.

My main hobbies are #cooking and eating #food, #fiberarts like #crochet and #embroidery, #origami #handwriting, #postcrossing, #notebooks and #fountainpens.

I love #books and #libraries, and I mainly read for enjoyment. My favorite genres are old-school #fantasy and #sciencefiction. I also play #games when I have the time.

I post a daily picture of my life over at pixelfed.social (just look up my handle there). I'm not sorry at all for the long post and love to connect with interesting and open-minded people.
