So, is everyone already on #Minds?

So, is everyone already on #Minds?

I'm still with little over 200 followers there, a very small percentage from here. I've started my account there end of last year, so far it has been a great experience, very similar to #Google+.

#MeWe is more like #Facebook, didn't like it much for sharing #science and #technology news.

I can have access to most news that interest me ( #robotics #artificialintelligence #technology #science #health #eco etc) directly from my feed on Minds, you just need to follow the right people ;).

Check it out, let's keep in touch!

Why You Should Never Rinse Your Dishes Before Putting Them in the Dishwasher

Why You Should Never Rinse Your Dishes Before Putting Them in the Dishwasher

An interesting reminder as I found myself rinsing dishes off before putting them in and I recall the dishwasher's manual saying not to rinse. From an environmental point of view the rinsing is a real waste of drinking water.

One mind-blogging statistic from Consumer Reports states that the average person wastes 6000 gallons of water a year by pre-rinsing. Most dishwasher machines use just 3 to 5 gallons of water per load, while the average person uses about 27 gallons when washing dishes by hand, according to The National Resource Defense Council.

The Eurpoean Union Is Banning Almost All Coal Mining on Jan 1 - Every unprofitable coal mine will die with 2018

The Eurpoean Union Is Banning Almost All Coal Mining on Jan 1 - Every unprofitable coal mine will die with 2018

Every unprofitable coal mine in the European Union must cease production by the first day of 2019, the date on which all public funds for the mines will come to an end. In Spain, that means that 26 coal mines are about to close up shop, according to Reuters.

This move away from coal is a refreshing bit of bluntness — letting the failed remnants of a fossil fuel industry fade away — compared to how the federal government in the U.S. is grasping at anything to keep coal alive. But it remains to be seen how much of an impact the coal closures will have in the ongoing effort to curb climate change.

The deadline was set back in 2010 as the EU sought to move away from fossil fuel dependence, according to Telesur. The EU wanted to end public aid to coal mines sooner, but groups from Germany — which shuttered its last coal mine earlier this month — and Spain are responsible for extending the deadline all the way to the end of 2018.

Global CO2 emissions are projected to go up in 2018 by more than 2%.

Originally shared by Manuela Casasoli

Global CO2 emissions are projected to go up in 2018 by more than 2%. In 2017, they increased by 1.6%, having flattened out between 2014 and 2016. The reasons? The use of oil and gas keeps growing, and some countries are still using coal to fuel much of their economic growth.
