I just reread an older blogpost of mine that discusses the problem of recommending not buying a thing being difficult in a world where buying things greases all the wheels: people making the things, people selling the things, people buying the things – they all get a little something. But if there is nothing to do, or the stopping of something to do, then it’s hard. I can’t help but feel this is related to our inability to deal with the unfolding climate catastrophe. At least the blog post is about peanuts, in comparison.
