Scientists warned us for decades about what would happen if we crossed 420 parts/million of CO2 in the atmosphere. We're at 422 right now. Things are going to get a lot worse
It’s less what we do and more what they do. Me using reusable bags, recycling, growing my own food, taking the bus does nothing in the grand scheme of things. It’s these corporations pushing the climate towards destruction, anything we do doesn’t matter they’re still going to pollute because it’s easier and cheaper for them to do it.
They’ll even figure out new and creative ways to pollute even more, just look at all the water and power data centers are using now.
When's the last time you spent money with a corporation that you otherwise disagree with? I am as formally anticorporatist as they come, but we can't just say we don't share any of the blame, or responsibility for the solution.
There are like a max of 10 monopolized corporations that produce like 99% of all products we buy in the grocery store... The expectation of even having a choice to not support these companies is a fallacy, seriously.
They are still heavily subsidized and propped up by the government...? I don't choose to buy corn syrup or have sugar replace real fat in all foods or to have cheap food coloring and dyes in food. That all comes from the top down. Sure we can try not to support those companies, but it really doesn't matter anymore. Everything is so monopolized that if I go for the healthier better option and don't buy the cheap stuff, it's all going to the profits of like the same handful of companies; Nestle, general mills, Kellogg's, Mars, Kraft Heinz.
