Picture this: a tiny stone in a desert of stones.

searching
for ... the last egg; the earth; a container, hot lava.
What is the earth more than a power bank?

Picture now, a house. On a hot day, enter from the back door to turn the AC off, electricity prices are over the roof. Open all the windows to let the heat in and take a shower. Golden house.
Now: Turn that around. Cavity is the space.

“Honey, list this: Proteinriegel, Shrimps, Avocado, Brennesseltee, Cocktailtomaten, Mehl, Persil, Fairtrade Schokolade, Kaffee and Egg(s)!”

Consider a car with keys inside, y’all locked out. A swallowed purpose, excluded from transportation or the seclusion of motion.
Then crack the window open and force your way into the car: drive and arrive at the bog. Conserved strata, pickled earth, mud and growth; a membrane between tectonic suction and atmospheric pressure. A rotting and inflating, anaerobic breath radially stretching an area of a small city beneath our feet.

Slow decay means long conservation.

Form a cup with your hands, hold it under flowing water, form lips to circle. A temporary container, only there when actively formed and kept in position. Activated and deactivated quickly. Suck water out of hand cup.

Why not have a cup that stays, that keeps in place; the water, the food, the useful, the small, the liquid. Make a thing into a thing that keeps other things in place. Hold things, keep them together, in order – organize, separate, manage. Tank energy; eat and burn fat, calories, gas, oil, trees, coal, muscle. Carry; charge. “Recharge battery now” to extend memory, to carry around.

“Useful containers for everyday life – live consciously with these four container-types, and you’ll realize what you’ve been missing: Tupperware, reusable water bottles, reusable shopping bags, freezer. The essen- tials for a modern, sustainable life – whether out on the country or urban side – don’t miss out on having them in your home.”

“Hey y’all! Recently I’ve read the book ‘The Tupperware- Philosophy’. It basically argues that because of the boxes’ great durability and its lifelong warranty they can be considered as semi-sustainable (a neologism by the author) and therefore fitting for what we’ll need in our current sustainability crisis. Semi-sustainability is the realistic way to go for a society that doesn’t want to lie to itself. And don’t we all wish for more honesty, honestly? (...)”

“The author comes up with a comparison of Tupper- warian technology and atomic energy. The current energy crisis has showed us the insufficiency of renew- ables. It’s simply too late to pursue the pure green way – though for a while it might remain for the dream- ers, hippies and some woke rich. It is not that the author rejects the attempt to live a non-polluting life and teach the next generation to do that. But she is plead- ing for more honesty, realism and more overarching solutions. Compromise should be the slogan, not change.
While the market is trying to profit from selling objects made out of “sustainable materials” – the expiration dates of the same are avoided. Tupperware instead, guarantee a life-long resisting product (...)”
