The thing is, we’re at a point where any reduction or slowing of Co2 is a victory, and can at the very least buy us (especially the populations most effected) a little bit more time to get our collective shit together against the big polluters.
But we don’t know when that time will come, so we need to do as much as we can until then. We know the billionaires planes will continue, but we can at the very least prevent some of our own emissions from compounding with them. Us doing our bit is not negated by the billionaires not joining in with us. It’s not fair, but the climate doesn’t care about fair, it cares about total emissions.
So let’s chip in collectively to slow things down, even if only slightly, until we can slow it down a lot. :)
Youre right, but each of us as an individual only has limited options. If politicians and billionaires dont want to take on climate change we sadly can’t do that much against it (except trying to influence politicians as a collective).
And its of course always a matter of money. If I dont have the money for a more climate friendly lifestyle, theres not that much you can do about it.
You’re picking a water bottle out of a landfill and calling it a victory. If it makes you feel less powerless by all means, you do you. But there are a thousand corporations, each with a fleet of dump trucks adding to it every hour.
That’s not how I would describe it. Change always starts with a personal realization. And what animal agriculture does to our soil, rivers and atmosphere is not right, do you agree?
We could reforest close to 80% of agricultural land, thats an area the size of Africa, and return it to nature. Forests cool our climate, breathe in co2. Do you want this? It is already happening and you can be part of it if you decide to buy chickpeas and lentils instead of animal tissue. It’s one step closer to a solution. A small step, but the right thing to do.
