The vast majority of people are not contributing significantly to climate change compared to the big players like the oil and gas industries and the big moving industries.

If you want to make for effective change, stop whining like a street corner crazy picketer and push against those actually doing most of the polluting.

See that sounds like a good counter argument on the surface but it is very flawed.

By just blaming big corporations and pointing the finger, your missing two important factors:

The big corporations do what they do because of consumers like you and me.

by shifting responsibility and effectively saying it’s okay to pass the buck, you’re telling people it’s okay to not have this front and center every day.

As much as I like blaming big corporations, we got here (and every point in human history before us) because of what the masses did or neglected to do.

So as inconvenient as it must be, until we pop out of this us vs them, the corporation expected lifespans can be centuries, human’s are finite, and if you keep that whataboutism alive, will get a lot shorter soon.

  Tell me you do not understand how the economy works without telling me you do not understand how the economy works…
  
  Personal consumers haven’t driven the oil industry for decades upon decades by now. Please learn how massive corporations function before you continue to embarass yourself.

    Set the graphics quality setting of your game to low for a start.
    
    And then probably start an AI chat to give you a tailored list of things you can do based on your age, education, location and family situation.

    So I should save a few watt-hours and then burn a few thousand more for an AI query? I already play on a Steamdeck so some wanker can fly a few centimeters more with his private jet.
