This is exactly why I don’t beat myself up over any of this shit… I will do what I can within my own power, but I don’t go out of my way to stop using plastic forks or anything like that. It’s pointless.
Being ecologically friendly is its own reward.
If your neighbor’s house and lawn is cluttered with garbage and rotting food, do you also let your house gather the same?
Or do you wish they did a better job and kept your house clean all the same?
What if you had 95 neighbors all full of garbage and rotted food? Is there any number that would make you do the same?
I get the feeling this is somehow also criticizing this particular woman. Someone did a small good thing, while others do bad things on a very large scale. What a naive idiot! Not a very helpful sentiment. One needs to look up for moral guidance, not down.
The thing is just that its not that one woman, but hundreds of millions if not billions of people that follow trash separation rules.
This would actually have a pretty large effect, however sadly the recycling system is broken and often just a complete lie in many places in the world.My Air conditioner tells me to conserve energy for the environment, when it gets warm out. Meanwhile the mall behind my house runs the lights and AC 24/7 even when closed
I’m kinda to the point where it feels like nothing us normies do will change anything so until billionaires are illegal it’s basically like fuck it.
Eating one billionaire would do more for the environment than all the conservation and recycling we do
My nest app tells me the same, while there’s a strip mall of 8 stores with neon bright signs that stay on 24/7 directly across from my apt balcony. I’d have a great view of the mountains in the AC but nah the fuckin tanning salon deserves that juice
A while ago, when the energy crisis was in full swing, I emailed a corporation that owns a large office building in town, that’s completely covered with a light display (basically tower-scale christmas lights) that they should please turn off that energy waster.
Their response was like “Our lighting is eco-friendly, because once a month we turn it green to show our commitment to green energy, and that offsets all the energy consumption.”
