Maersk plans to run a small container ship on e-methanol as early as 2023. 10,000 tonnes of carbon neutral methanol will be produced using solar powered electrolysis (to get the Hydrogen molecules) plus biogenic CO2 - extracted from biomass by rotting, combustion or other processing. Biogenic CO2 is considered "carbon neutral" if when accounting for the living plant absorbing CO2 whilst alive and releasing it when dead, there has been no net
increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on a life-cycle basis. https://www.maersk.com/news/articles/2021/08/18/maersk-secures-green-e-methanol
University researchers are suggesting we use our data as a collective bargaining chip. Algorithms, surveillance and suggestions are meaningless if the data is poor quality & volume.
What if we as individuals could manipulate the data being collected? - if we had the tools to withhold data (privacy tools), poison the data (use browsers to confuse ads/ cookie collection) and more?
People power. lets build it so.

What a great concept! This backpack features a built-in water-resistant hoodie that stows away to look like a normal backpack. This means you never have to make that risky decision between taking your hooded rain jacket or leaving it at home when you go out for the day. If it starts raining – or you need some extra warmth – just unfold the hood. The hood folds up and tucks into a hidden pocket near the top carry handle, concealing under the straps. To bust out the hood, just pull it out and unroll it. https://spy.com/articles/gear/accessories/backpack-with-hood-waterproof-champion-173767/
