  • I thought our dog was a good guarddog, as he always barks at anyone near our front door or our tent when we are camping. Until I woke up in the middle of the night because a fox was trying to eat the food in our tent and my dog was just lying there chill as fuck. I had to shout to get the fox to leave.




  • I had massive hesitations about getting a dog, both from a climate and an animal welfare point of view. Even so, it was the best decision of my life and my furry friend has helped me through some very rough patches. His main food is kibble with chicken, as the least climate impactful meat source and he only gets an occasional snack with other meats (which are probably mostly meat waste products). It is impossible to live perfectly for the climate and environment and this is the one sin I will allow myself as it has such a positive impact on my life and wellbeing.





  • In the three countries I worked in (netherlands, belgium and usa) all level 2 lab waste was collected in biohazard boxes and taken to special lab waste management. I assume they get the same treatment as hospital waste. We did have the non-biohazard labs in which pipettes just went in the normal trash. I assume you can’t get a biohazard lab approved without organizing special waste pickup.






  • My dog did the same, so I just taught him to bring me my socks in the morning. Either yesterdays socks lying on the floor or I’ll toss a new pair on the floor for him. When he gets excited for walks he’ll bring me socks. When I come home he brings me socks. When I take my socks off because it’s hot, he’ll bring them back… but at least he doesn’t chew them anymore. And he loves the little chore.
