This is the summary of days 1 to 10, in which we begin the Carbon Neutral Strike, make dietary preparations, make sacrifices to the Capitalist Beast in the form of an AI-intensive job, 666 sightings because numbers and the refinement of my personal strike update format.
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 with my musings about the world as it is now.
Transcript from Day 7 onward:
Day 7: So food. People are bound by this shared understanding and so is all life on the planet, energy consuming energy. We are different yes. But at the base of things we rely on food and energy consumption three times daily. This shared reality then provides a common ground upon which to understand one another. You want food, we want food. It is fuel for the human machine. Energy consumes and transmutes energy. So we understand a lot about each other already there.
Because of my work on “The Stellar” I associate the number 6 with the devil. I’ve seen 666 twice now, one as an employee ID, second time my inbox. What’s the third?
Day 8: For today’s challenge i had a tomato and veganaise sandwich, pistachios, a cranberry water because i forgot my water bottle. Having some wine now. I’m not enjoying it per se but hopefully it will produce an effect. I also had cereal (knockoff captain crunch) with soy milk.
Day 9: Potato chips, grapes, tomato veganaise sandwich, wine, a cereal bar, cereal, blueberry bagel with Nutella, bag juice, might have some mango juice later tonight or make a salad. Don’t know yet.
Day 10: I had a big salad with lettuce and tomato from the market and corn, walnuts, grapes and chia seeds.
I used regular vinegar and vegetable oil with veganaise whipped together for the dressing.
