    100% convinced our decedents will look back in this age and laugh 2 things : domestic recycling as an attempt to save the the planet , and the fact that we did nothing unless there was a profit in it.

    Not only the billionaires, even the millionaires, and all the people taking the plane more than once a year. It is an ecological crime the pollution of air transport.

      fun fact. modern planes consume ~3-4l per 100 passengers per km or 3-4l per passenger per 100km.

      efficient ICE cars consume ~6l per passenger per 100km.

      add to that, that there’s basically no good alternative to fast very long distance or cross-continent transport

    yeah anytime i see anyone talking about some little change they made in their lives to be more eco friendly it makes me incredibly, deeply sad. especially if it’s at more expense or more effort for them – they’re trying their best but it’s literally completely pointless

      It’s absolutely not helpless to change your habits. All our consumption is based on collective habits, and changing them will have an effect.
