    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.

      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.

      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.
