This Weeks Questions:
Jbubble: What was the task from previous jobs that you hated the most?
Okok_Devin: Happy belated birthday to Stompy! I had no idea he was striped as a baby. Is there an evolutionary reason for baby emus having markings that go away as they age? Is this common for bird species?
Dohregard: I often wonder if there is a level of privilege involved in caring about the global impact of our consumption and climate change as a whole. Do you think that people would be more receptive to the message behind conservation efforts if their material needs were met?
Jbubble: If you woke up tomorrow and were able to fluently speak another language, what would you choose?
Anonymous: Of the major milestones that you expected to reach when you were younger:
1. Which seem ridiculous now that you're more experienced?
2. Which have you achieved that you would have never expected? (Except Alveus)
3. Which ones are you still aiming to reach?

Good answers!

I cracked up hard hard at your babysitter line, it kinda sounds like a good standup joke. But yeah, the thing I notice a lot with conservation efforts/education is a distancing from what people who are less fortunate can do rather than people who have the means to do the most optimal thing. And like Maya said, it's really hard for people who are behind on bills and struggling to put food on the table to also worry about making those choices which can make people resentful of anyone trying to suggest they need to make better choices. In a lot of cases people have no other choices. It could be a cool idea to showcase things like what Connor suggested as ways for people who don't have a lot of money can help reduce waste and contribute to the global conservation efforts.
