  • Water levels were lower during the glacial periods because of all the water in those frozen glaciers. The brittish islands were connected to mainland Europe for example. So there really isn’t that much of a suggestion that sea levels were lower, established science that.

    The original commentator probably got dates (or zeroes) mixed up. More than ten thousand years ago definitely doesn’t put anything on the other side of the last glacial period (one hundred and twenty thousand tears ago).

    An interesting side note is that due to the sea level rise many of the first human settlements of the Americas are now well under water and possibly lost forever. This makes dating the human arrival very difficult as we only have later very much inland settlements to go by.




  • We essentially have three levels of recycling stations in Sweden.

    There is the at home one. Some areas have their “private” trash bins being multicompartment so you can easily divide up glass, metals etc. If you don’t have one of these you just divide it up and take it to your local station. Apartment buildings tend to have a recycling area with various bins.

    The local one tend to be able to handle larger items and bigger quantities. Here is often also for textiles. This is the classic recycling station.

    And then we have the big ones where you can fill up a vehicle and trailers and get rid of it. It is not a dump as you still have to have things separated. Used furniture, electronics, garden waste etc are taken to these places.
