    They are the pme who make up like 70 % of emissions

      This is such a stupid statistic. Do you think those companies were burning fossil fuels purely for fun? Or perhaps they’re making things that people subsequently buy?

      Corps are made up of people though. And for some reason people seem to think that it’s not their fault if it’s part of their job. We need to convince them otherwise.

          Bringing up stats instead of ignoring them isn’t unpleasant.

          Companies spend billions over years to convince us to think nothing of it, we need to fight back with grassroots.

      They’re not doing that independently of the products and services they provide. Over consumption is a big issue and narratives like this shirk personally responsibility and promote the bystander effect.

        On the contrary, we need to hold these corps accountable

        So talking with your fellow people should primarily be about how to do that and not you thinking about how to not be pleasent about it
