The money went through a special form of funding known as trade finance, which is used to facilitate global transactions and is more opaque than standard project finance.

“Nobody normally thinks about dust, what it might be doing or where it should go: it is so tiny, so totally, absolutely, mundane, that it slips beneath the limits of vision. But if we pay attention, we can see the world within it.”

Then there are the technical solutions, solar panels, heat pumps and other ways of cutting fossil fuel use. But even all these combined are not enough to reach the goal of net zero carbon emissions."

Today, at work, we were recycling a whole container filled with old and broken electronics. I just salvaged this perfectly fine Noctua CPU cooler and fan from a damaged workstation. It would have been a shame to throw them away.
