Isn't this specifically about sand for construction which needs to be coarse enough? For glass packaging you melt that stuff anyway, SiO₂ is SiO₂. Also I imagine the amount of sand needed for glass bottles would be way smaller than what construction industry uses, even less so if you recycle.
If you're worried about random exes and repacs, I'll let you know that there is a DRM-free GOG version of Disco Elysium. Of course you still need to make sure you're downloading it from a reputable source, but it's basically as good as it gets from safety standpoint.
I think I'm having a similar issue, though in my case I can't post images on any instance, can't change my profile picture either. File size and image resolution don't seem to make a difference. Jerboa throws up a timeout, web version gives me a 403 error.
Yes, I get that literally clean energy is important and in many places it would be a significant improvement. It can also be easier to explain that we need to move away from fossil fuels based on tangible pollution, not the nebulous "greenhouse gasses" and "global warming", especially when talking to conservative folks.
Still, I feel like public awareness of the issue is... questionable. Whenever I read about some government program to fund more renewable energy, or hear politiciants discuss it, it's almost always the literal clean, not green clean. Invisible emissions will still mess up our climate, and more people should know that.

I think "Nintendo" should be treated like a plural noun because they consist of many lawyers.
