You do though? There’s a ton of things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint. Eliminate? No. But don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, or even the enemy of “less bad than doing nothing”
This is child brain. What’s the point of all of this? To feel better, or to prevent the extinction of the human race? You think paper fucking straws are going to accomplish anything worth accomplishing, or just mollify your rich-enough-to-have-choices ass to inaction?
Funny, it kind of seems like the opposite to me. While you make edgy leftist posts online I have made changes to my lifestyle to reduce my carbon footprint. If everyone used paper straws the evil corporations making plastic ones would suddenly start making paper ones. Not because they care about the environment of course but because that’s what consumers demand. Individuals making small individual changes can add up when done on a global scale. Let me guess- you think voting is a waste of time as well? If not, what’s the difference?
anything I do is insignificant on a global scale. Same for you. But enough people acting together can make a difference and doing my part is the right thing.
You’re not acting together with people. You’re making individual consumer choices that do not extend outside the framework that is destroying the planet and will never challenge it. And you’re not doing your part. You’re siloing yourself and calling it a day.
Acting like you’re doing something when you’re not is worse than doing nothing. It’s dishonest and demobilizing. Either you’re extremely stupid or you don’t give a shit whether the world burns. You’ve staked a position where you get to feel morally righteous and that’s it.

I’m an edgy leftist because I point out that your ‘carbon footprint’ means shit in the face of what the grid runs on?
