An #EarthDay reminder that despite what governments, militaries, and oil, plastic and chemical companies would have you believe, you didn't break the world. The treat you bought yourself, your drive to work, the flight to see your aging parents. They didn't break it, and eliminating them will not save it.
Individual reduction is great. It feels good, and I would never discourage it for its own sake. But individual responsibility for environmental degradation is an intentional and damaging lie.
@ianrosewrites the greatest lie the fossil fuel companies ever convinced us of was that our personal carbon footprints are responsible for the climate crisis. βItβs not us, itβs you!β
@ianrosewrites we all have to live in the world we are born into. The goal is to make it a better world for the next generation to be born into.
@ianrosewrites WE, the Many Individuals, BUY the products produced by those pollution emitters. All of us are involved in this consumption of resources that have resulted in environmental degradation and the LIARS are the DENIERS!
