Aww man you're falling for their bullshit π
The biggest impetus to change isn't your personal consumer habits. It's industry. And they want you to feel like YOU aren't doing enough while they do jack shit except fuck over the rest of us every day so they can jerk each other off with their quarterly earnings reports.
(I'm not saying we should all be rolling coal, that's stupid and gross and childish. Just that we shouldn't internalize anxiety about 'doing enough')
I mean, we can do both...
Well, if you drive a hybrid, have you ever thought of where your electricity comes from? Probably a very inefficient coal or natural gas plant! Also, its not the gas gauge, its the engine heat gauge lol.
Point is, donβt fret over your fossil fuel usage. Big corporations use more fossil fuels a day than you will ever use in your lifetime, even if you drive a fuel guzzling truck.
No, I know where it comes from. The car's internal combustion engine. Because that's how hybrids work.
Yeah I guess. But there are some hybrids that charge via EV plug. My point still stands either way.
My evs power comes from hydro and wind power, for which I pay a small extra fee for.
My state just closed its last coal power plant last year!
to me it's funny all theese climate protectors beleave the proaganda of oil companies the normal human ilhas all the fault not the companies. pssst we should start at the companies then go to the everyday human. and on the topic of ev's i would rather drive a hydrogen car swap out the tank of your combustion car and all that comes from your exhaust is water without having to produce millions of new cars and without having the drawbacks ev's have
Not my fault π€¦ββοΈ
An entire generation that's fully educated on the matter and still punting it down the road. Classic.
Hey make sure you sort your recycling if it makes you feel better.
Don't worry about mine tailings leaching into the groundwater or the fact that our communities are designed around needing to own a vehicle, it's us average folks that aren't doing enough!
You're a sucker, sorry.
oh you think your sorting and recycling actually does somethin my sweet summer child the hole getts deeper and deeper
I was being sarcastic.
i ment it in a general sense and also sarcastic ^^
I have 90% of my heating and cooling on solar and sell back to my neighbors. I ate probably 40% of my food last week from garden using my own compost. I don't have enough plastic waste or waste in general too sort through for any real recycling besides a small bin of you could call it that.
What do you do?
More power to you! You decided how you wanted to live, and you're able to make it reality. I'm genuinely happy for you because that sense of accomplishment is a universal human thing and it feels good.
Aside from that I'm not interested in how green someone's dick is while my state is planning to pave our roads with radioactive waste. Or while the phosphate industry dumps their runoff into our waterways and we have massive algae blooms that ruin what tourism we have left.
I suspect you and I agree on more issues than not. All I'm saying is your neighbor -the guy who doesn't have switching to an EV at the top of a to do list yet, which is what this discussion was initially about- is not the enemy here.
That's great, but personal behavior is literally nothing in the grand scheme of things. Dismantling and punishing the corporations who are at fault is millions of times more effective.
Oh right the corporations selling to people. Right, not my problem.
