Carbon Neutral Strike Update 18: Dec 21 2025 to Jan 1 2026

About this episode

Aleya discusses her experiences and reflections during the Carbon Neutral Strike from December 21, 2025 to January 1, 2026.

Hi! This is the summary of December 21, 2025 to January 1, 2026 where we discuss taking my music off Pandora and other music streaming sites when I was younger, new years setting the tone for the year, virality, schizo-affective bipolar (lacking dopamine and serotonin), a raw Christmas spread, a year of a swollen lymph node, Drumpf pirates in the Caribbean and yummy gummy fruit spring rolls for Solarpunk group kitchens! I’m Aleya, and I founded Fastfrwrd.info. I have been carrying out a Carbon Neutral Strike where I avoid oil, gas and plastic as much as I can. I have been posting daily updates since Earth Day, April 22, 2025 on this process as well as my musings about the world as it is now.
