Has anyone waxed a bicycle chain with soy wax or other vegetable wax?

I just did mine with paraffin, which worked great but since most of the wax ends up spread across the countryside I wondered about using something biodegradeable.

#bicycle #soy

#Soy to feed billions of #cattle by the way , for only 18% of calories (not humans, as soya for humans is generally organic and grown in Europe)

Lokaal of niet, vlees = ontbossing op grote schaal…

It’s pretty much impossible to live a life free of environmental harm. The cleanest energy relies on mining. Critical medical supplies produce plastic waste. Even organic foods are typically grown with pesticides.

But there is one thing you could do immediately that would help the planet a heck of a lot: eat less beef.πŸ₯©

Reminder: More than 80% of the world’s #soy is used to feed farmed animals raised for slaughter. Don’t believe anyone who claims that vegans and vegetarians are responsible for soy-related #deforestation ...
