Kailyn Bebee 4/22/2026 9:52 AMHappy Earth Day 🌱
Green my job — TIL ways to green my job.
https://drawdown.org/job-function-action-guides/product-design- Reduce content loads, minimize/simplify images and media, and remove unnecessary data
- Collaborate w/ eng to write efficient code, minimize stored data, and plan for data deletion
- Use cloud providers who've set or are on track to meet ambitious climate goals
Microsoft also has Green Design Principles: https://microsoft.design/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Microsoft-Green-Design-Principles.pdf
I'll check these out and think about how I can apply them to my digital product design work. -
Kailyn Bebee 4/22/2026 9:45 AMTried to find a way to volunteer with local wetlands, but because they've been defunded and teams have been cut, no one is available to coordinate volunteers. -
Kailyn Bebee 4/16/2026 12:35 PMTIL about biochar!
Biochar is a powerful type of soil that sequesters carbon from the atmosphere.
It has the following properties that make it superior to other kinds of soil:- Enhanced nutrient retention for plants (tripled crop biomass/weight)
- Reduced CO2 emissions from soil (and is actually carbon-negative!)
- Enhanced soil pH and structure
- Improved water-holding capacity
- Increased fertilizer efficiency w/ its porous structure
Apparently it's helpful for composting, but I'm not sure yet how I could get started with that at home.
Watched this 5min video: https://youtu.be/ehRBw7ffPv0
I remember volunteering for Zero Waste McMinnville, and one of the members, a local farmer, was obsessed with biochar. Maybe I should get back in touch with him 🧑🌾 -
Kailyn Bebee 4/03/2026 5:48 PMToday, I learned about the effects of bottom-trawling on the oceanfloor and its inhabitants.
I was reminded of a book I read back in college, On Such a Full Sea, in a dystopian future where the main character has a job in controlled aquaculture after the old economy collapsed. I'm wondering about transitioning livelihoods of fishers who currently trawl, and what that looks like? Easy to say "trawling is bad" for the ocean — bit more difficult to picture what change looks like for the people who are involved in trawling today.
Also thinking about how I might check to make sure the seafood I'm buying is "good" — will save that research for another day!-
Kailyn Bebee 4/16/2026 10:12 AMSeasonality is definitely part of sustainable eating!
I didn't know trawling was an old tradition where you're from. Thanks for sharing.
One of the videos I watched was about how it's big in the Philippines, too: https://youtu.be/ZqgjtJ9XJMI -
Bruno Hass 4/10/2026 12:45 PMI didn't know trawling was so bad for the ocean. It's an old tradition where I live. Come to think of it, nowadays there is a regulated season during which people can trawl around here. That must be one of the ways to consume seafood sustainably — making sure you're consuming the right species for the season.

Kailyn Bebee 4/02/2026 8:27 AMWatched a video about the difference between food sell by, best by, and use by dates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5XssdVk0hQ
Why is this important?- Consumers widely misread all date labels as hard expiration dates → unnecessary disposal
- FDA attributes ~20% of household food waste to label confusion
- Global food waste = ~⅓ of all food produced
- 28% of world’s agricultural land used annually to grow food that gets wasted
- Food waste is the single largest component of municipal landfills in the US
Until these dates get a more science-based approach: Treat “best by” and “sell by” as quality guides, not safety deadlines 📝 use senses & discard obvious spoilage -
Kailyn Bebee 4/01/2026 9:16 AMWatched a few videos to learn about the Drawdown Project (https://drawdown.org/climate-solutions-101).
Standout points for me:- Agriculture covers 35–40% of all land 🧑🌾
- Scientists predict we'll have our first ice-free Arctic months in the next decade 🥵
- Composting is a good way for individuals to help out (while policy moves at a larger scale) 🌱
- Blue-collar workers will be on the front lines improving our infrastructure (will explode the economy) 💪
