    Yup, each batch needs to be stored in controlled conditions for the entire length of the expiration period. Many times the product expiration period is much longer, but controlled storage isn’t cheap, so just companies just do the minimum required by them.
















  • My parents immigrated from “communist” Poland years ago and had similar conservative views. Abortion bad, church good, black people lazy, etc… It took years of discussions and disagreement to get them to think in a more progressive way, and yes, having siblings helps. And if you can convince one parent, they can help you convince the other.

    I truly believe that art is one of the best ways to alter the way people think. I found that watching movies/documentaries with my parents that had strong ecological and humanitarion viewpoints were a great way to start these discussions. Movies about topics like systemic racism, homophobia, corporate greed/fraud, environmental destruction, religious abuse, etc…

    For example, the Netflix documentary ‘13th’ have real insight into how the systemic racism uses poverty to keep marginalized people poor and desperate enough to commit crimes. Which are then blamed on their skin color rather than their on economic situation.



  • With the limited research I just did on my phone, I didn’t see all this abundant evidence of trash piles.

    I did learn about Middens, which were sort of trash piles. But they were mostly filled with shells, animal bones, and excrement, which seems more like a compost heap than a landfill.

    Also, they were made predominantly by a few nomadic tribes. There are even other animals that make these “middens” like squirrels and octopi.

    If you consider broken pottery and broken combs as garbage, then sure, it’s a landfill. I can also say that the broken pottery is just a pile of dried clay pieces that were put back on the ground.

    Bones, rocks, and other organic matter put on the ground hardly makes a place a landfill. Otherwise every cemetery, quarry, or a pile of pretty much anything is considered a landfill.
