Not my OC but what I’ve believed for years: there’s no conflict between reducing your own environmental impact and holding corporations responsible. We hold corps responsible for the environment by creating a societal ethos of environmental responsibility that forces corporations to serve the people’s needs or go bankrupt or be outlawed. And anyone who feels that kind of ethos will reduce their own environmental impact because it’s the right thing to do.
Thoughts?
Also many people don’t know, don’t care or disagree. Even if everybody could, far from everybody would.
I don’t think I agree with this, I know I became more aware and more empathetic after I was able to improve my financial situation. I believe that a lot more people do care or would care than you think, it’s just that their energy and focus is on survival and trying to live in a world where you’re told spending=happiness.
Maybe it’s naive but I have a fair bit of faith in people doing the right thing when given a chance and a way to.
