    A reminder that oil companies invented “carbon footprint” to distract you while they continue to pollute. Form unions and solidarity networks to overcome harmful systems. Don’t argue over hamburgers.

      Reminder that this doesn’t absolve you from your personal responsibilities. You do need to be making choices that move the world towards a better future.

      Besides that the number one reason for land loss, the loss of biodiversity, nitrate pollution, and methane production is still the bio-industy. Let alone the ethical implications of killing billions of animals a month.

      You can do both. No, you’re obliged to do both. Stop supporting bio-industy and fight for rights.

      These companies pollute to satisfy a demand. If people stopped driving cars, TotalEnergy and Shell would sell less oil.

      Where these companies are evil is when they try to influence people and politicians. For example jay walking is a crime because of them.

      That said taxing the hell out of these polluting industries is a solution, as it will raise the oil price and force people to consume less.

        It’s not only cars, there are power plants running on oil, nearly every “small” backup generator runs on diesel. Also logistics, trucks, trains and ships needs boatloads of diesel.
