I've been trying to work on things that aren't necessarily economically valuable but that are on my mind and I want to share.
For example, a carbon footprint calculator that pokes fun at the idea of the individual being to blame for climate change. https://a.mancato.nl/climate-calculator
And after seeing my dad struggle to find stuff online because he was seeing so many ads, I made an adblocker ad. https://a.mancato.nl/adblock
Fun calculator. A little noisy to make its points, but "You could die right now and Shell could continue operating for 6 seconds longer with the carbon you saved" is a powerful statement.
I wasted so much energy in my most vigorous years trying to make decisions that literally don't matter at all and felt so important. I could have been building skills to influence policy instead, but the sustainability movement was bamboozled pretty hard.
Thank you for the feedback. I'm still looking for the right tone and length since I want it to be factual and understandable yet also as concise as possible. I'll have another look to see if I can improve it.
Makes me think of adding a big quote + Tweet this element to the page. E.g:
"I could die right now and Shell could continue operating for 6 seconds longer with the carbon I saved"
