to me itâs 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 evâs 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 evâs have
Comment on full tank đ

The biggest impetus to change isnât your personal consumer habits. Itâs industry. And they want you to feel like YOU arenât 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.
(Iâm not saying we should all be rolling coal, thatâs stupid and gross and childish. Just that we shouldnât internalize anxiety about âdoing enoughâ)

Not my fault đ¤Śââď¸
An entire generation thatâs 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.
Donât worry about mine tailings leaching into the groundwater or the fact that our communities are designed around needing to own a vehicle, itâs us average folks that arenât doing enough!
Youâre a sucker, sorry.
nogrub@lemmy.world â¨1⊠â¨year⊠ago
oh you think your sorting and recycling actually does somethin my sweet summer child the hole getts deeper and deeper
GentlemanLoser@ttrpg.network â¨1⊠â¨year⊠ago
I was being 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 donât have enough plastic waste or waste in general too sort through.
What do you do?
GentlemanLoser@ttrpg.network â¨1⊠â¨year⊠ago
More power to you! You decided how you wanted to live, and youâre able to make it reality. Iâm genuinely happy for you because that sense of accomplishment is a universal human thing and it feels good.
Aside from that Iâm not interested in how green someoneâs 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 Iâm saying is your neighbor -the guy who doesnât 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.

Thatâs 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.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world â¨1⊠â¨year⊠ago
I mean, we can do bothâŚ

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, donât 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.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world â¨1⊠â¨year⊠ago
No, I know where it comes from. The carâs internal combustion engine. Because thatâs how hybrids work.
SimplePhysics@sh.itjust.works â¨1⊠â¨year⊠ago
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.
