  • If you were to go with fish, I think there are other species that are somewhat less environmentally destructive to eat. It’s been a while since I looked but it might’ve been like:

    farmed oysters < sardines < herring < etc (from best to worst)

    Something like that anyway. Not sure quite how trustworthy it is, but try Seafood Watch for recommendations. Also, small oily fish are incidentally better for you than the big popular ones anyway. Lemmy has a !tinnedseafood@lemmy.world community if you’re unsure what to do culinarily with that sort of fish, might not be that populated though.

    Also also, not sure if this is more or less practical since it kinda sounds like you maybe don’t have a lot of choice in your food options, but: seaweed! It’s delicious, vegetarian, and got most of the same crucial nutrients as small oily fish. That’s where they get it from themselves, actually. You can even get culinary oil pressed from seaweed with (hopefully) the same benefits. Personally I keep an assortment of varieties of seaweed fron Maine Coast Sea Vegetables in my pantry and just put them in everything, adds a lot of umami to vegetarian food.

    Feel free to disregard any of these brands or w/e, they’re just the ones I use, but obviously never trust a corporation as we all know lol




  • Polypropylene, hands down. Most plastic thingies that’re meant to bend constantly without wearing out are PP. Like those little straw caps attached to big drink tumblers? The bendy part, if not the whole hinge, is usually PP i think. I think generally things that could be described as “living hinges”.

    I will say though, that it’s easily the most difficult filament I’ve ever had the displeasure of printing. It absolutely REFUSES to stick to literally anything but other polypropylene lol. What you do is just put some packing tape on your bed, that stuff’s made of PP as well.
