Carbon Neutral Strike Update 19: Jan 2026

About this episode

Aleya provides an update on her Carbon Neutral Strike and shares various personal and cultural reflections from January 2026.

Hi! This is the summary from January 2026 where we discuss missed connections, my name's meaning, weed being illegal in Barbados, wanting to throw a sex party and changing to a 'Love Quest' party, terrible slogans, fair trade, typo definitions, more on name definition, buying out Russian soldiers, finding Fastfrwrd love and earworms that become songs like 'Rattle' which, if it goes viral, will complete a 'perfect cycle' as I completed it Jan 23, 2026 just like my previous viral cover on Jan 23, 2015. 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.
