With the new year coming in a matter of days, it's a time to reflect on what personal climate action we as individuals can take. Some personal actions are reducing beef consumption, taking the bus to work, less air travel, etc.
I can't say that people who shop at "organic" stores such as Whole Foods are necessarily trying to reduce their carbon footprint, but I imagine that there's more people who shop there that are trying to reduce it on average when compared to other grocery stores.
What you may not realize is that, depending on your store, the item, location, etc, a lot of products could be from across the globe. The pasta section of a Whole Foods grocery store has an overwhelming amount of products that come exclusively from Italy. This may not be an issue if you are in Europe, but it is if you're in North America. Same thing goes for the farmed fish and vegetables, which come from South America and Europe as well. I saw a Bell Pepper from the Netherlands and Sweet Chili Sauce from Thailand. Meanwhile other stores, which aren't marketed as "organic" grocery chains will have these products from North America but aren't "organic."
For the same reason why you shouldn't consume an unhealthy amount of sugar every day/week, we should do our best to try to shop in a sustainable manner.

What if there's no organic compound present in the reaction? Is that considered already as not a combustion reaction?

🐕**** Cheems INU *🐕 Deflationary Token with 97% of the supply burned at launch! Lets moon together fairly and safely! 100% Carbon Neutral! The world's first Organic Stealth Launched Meme Token that is 100%. The devs of this project will receive ZERO of the token to start. The token is fair launched and every person will have the same chance at receiving a portion of the token. This is to assure that this token is distributed fairly and evenly to holders and that there is 0 chance of the devs amassing a large amount of the token and dumping. This token also returns BNB to holders with every transaction! We are launching this token with no presale and no early whitelisting. This growth will be completely organic. 🌳 Carbon Neutral 🌳 The token is Carbon Neutral! That means any energy used is offset. 1% of each transaction will go towards purchasing Carbon Offsets and planting trees. This will ensure that the energy used by transactions with Cheems Inu never causes more harm to the environment. 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 Tokenomics ****🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃
Initial Supply: 100 Quadrillion Tokens
- 97% Burned at Minting
- 2% Reflections to Holders
- 2% Charity Wallet
- 2% to Liquidity
- 2% Marketing Fee
- 1% Sustainability Fee
- 1% Dev Wallet
🔐**** Locked Liquidity ****🔐 The initial Liquidity Pool will be locked at launch! .5 BNB
🤑**** BNB Rewards ****🤑 There will be rewards to holders with our anti whale mechanism. Big taxes on big sales will cause major redistributions to holders. At the same time we wanted to not make fees too big so that this could not have a future as a mainstream meme currency. This token exists on the Binance Smart Chain as to allow there to be quick and painless transactions! Each transaction has a 1% tax which is used as BNB reflections to holders!
🥇**** Charity ****🥇 Our first Charity donation will be to animal shelters in storm affected areas. If you live in the USA you have seen that there are many storms currently causing destruction and forcing relocation. Our goal is to donate $10,000 to rescue dogs and cats who are abandoned during these storms and give them a second chance at a loving home.
🚗**** Roadmap ****🚗 Our future roadmap will be released today with our website! We plan on meetups for holders, advertisements with e sports teams, and coingecko/coinmarketcap listing. Applications have already been submitted and that will be fast tracked after the coin has launched and has taken off.
Good luck to everyon

Spectroscopic techniques and computational methods, along with comparative experiments, suggest the contribution of Cu nodes to CO binding and the essential role of metallophthalocyanine units in tuning and amplifying the sensing response.
Abstract
This paper describes the demonstration of a series of heterobimetallic, isoreticular 2D conductive metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with metallophthalocyanine (MPc, M=Co and Ni) units interconnected by Cu nodes towards low-power chemiresistive sensing of ppm levels of carbon monoxide (CO). Devices achieve a sub-part-per-million (ppm) limit of detection (LOD) of 0.53 ppm toward CO at a low driving voltage of 0.1 V. MPc-based Cu-linked MOFs can continuously detect CO at 50 ppm, the permissible exposure limit required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), for multiple exposures, and realize CO detection in air and in humid environment. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and comparison experiments suggest the contribution of Cu nodes to CO binding and the essential role of MPc units in tuning and amplifying the sensing response.

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but does anyone know what the technical term for environmental carbon or organics deposition onto a material is called? I'm trying to articulate why EDX cannot give accurate carbon or oxygen compositional data -- aside from them being too light to accurately measure most of the time, there's also surface carbon deposited from the environment which throws off how much of each is seen in a sample. For instance, a lot of organic solvent vapor is produced in the lab and some of that can adsorb onto the metallic sample surface, so you will see the organics when you look at the surface.
I know theres a term for this, and I'm kinda going insane trying to remember what it is. I recall that there was a kinda stupid term for it like "normal carbon" or something, but all my searching only returns articles on atmospheric carbon in environmental science... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
We’ve never discuss CNMR in class but I’m quite curious.
3D imide-bonded covalent organic framework (COF) composed of cobalt-phthalocyanine subunits has been prepared and used in CO2 reduction reaction electrocatalysis, showing the high CO2-to-CO conversion Faradaic efficiency. In particular, the active electrocatalytic centers and current density (jCO) of this 3D COF have been significantly improved in comparison to that of the 2D COF electrocatalyst with the same phthalocyanine subunits.
Abstract
Synthesis of functional 3D COFs with irreversible bond is challenging. Herein, 3D imide-bonded COFs were constructed via the imidization reaction between phthalocyanine-based tetraanhydride and 1,3,5,7-tetra(4-aminophenyl)adamantine. These two 3D COFs are made up of interpenetrated pts networks according to powder X-ray diffraction and gas adsorption analyses. CoPc-PI-COF-3 doped with carbon black has been employed to fabricate the electrocatalytic cathode towards CO2 reduction reaction within KHCO3 aqueous solution, displaying the Faradaic efficiency of 88–96 % for the CO2-to-CO conversion at the voltage range of ca. −0.60 to −1.00 V (vs. RHE). In particular, the 3D porous structure of CoPc-PI-COF-3 enables the active electrocatalytic centers occupying 32.7 % of total cobalt-phthalocyanine subunits, thus giving a large current density (jCO) of −31.7 mA cm−2 at −0.90 V. These two parameters are significantly improved than the excellent 2D COF analogue (CoPc-PI-COF-1, 5.1 % and −21.2 mA cm−2).

I was just thinking if everything is basically carbon based space dust. That would mean metal plants animals humans stars ect ect ect...
That would mean we are all the same on the pure atomic level right? So in a most basic sense we are all robots on the material level?
Furthermore as I have been learning about my own disabilities, I'm realizing there is a whole nother level that is not physical. Like I have learned that humans are repetitive. So repetitive It feels like I can read peoples minds some times. I've learned how to read peoples body language and can almost always tell what kind of " don't know what to call it but like their energy they put off"
So is the known material universe just some huge evolving ever learning ever growing, super computer we live in? And furthermore, is there some kind of battle going on between the material vs say * the energy realm* that we are unaware of?
