Listened to a really interesting podcast episode this morning, an interview with the founder of No Crap Parties, an initiative trying to normalise not giving bags of expensive plastic tat at parties. Of interest to parents of young kids, but there's also a wider discussion of #BehaviourChange and individual vs collective action and lifestyle changes as a starting point for environmental action.

Amongst all the news of enshittified, brickified or madeunusablified gadgets I’d like to point out that there are exceptions: my Google #Chromecast from 2010 still works, works with current apps and phones and has outlived the “Smart” TV capabilities of my Samsung TV it’s plugged into by almost a decade. #Sustainableish #Electronics #Reuse

(Now I’ve probably jinxed it though…)
