This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

For those of us that have to work in the heat, what are some tips? Are there any foods that help or tricks like adding a bit of salt to your water?

You don't have to buy expensive garbage like Gatorade! You can make an electrolyte drink yourself and save money.

1 l water
0.5 TEAspoons normal salt
6 TEAspoons sugar or glucose

Warm everything together while mixing to dissolve the sugar, then allow to cool fully.

You can add some flavor when it has cooled. Lemon, or lime, or artificial flavor if you prefer...

Put it to a bottle, it's ready to go.

Don't give this to small kids without diluting, they cannot handle a lot of salt. For kids (under 1 year), adjust with water, rule of thumb it should taste like at most teardrop level saltiness. Over 1 year can drink as-is. If in doubt, give under one-year olds something from the pharmacy to get the salt amount correct.
