100 companies have contributed over 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. Only 100.
Do you really think that an average joe can make a difference? The blame doesn’t lay on ordinary people. Us polluting is a byproduct of corporations polluting.
Legislation is needed to dissuade people from buying that shit. Guess who pays billions to make sure that legislation never gets passed?
Ah yes those powerless companies that have simply no choice but to destroy our biosphere.
It’s not like they can use the money that they’re currently using to lobby against environmental regulation and oversight for heavier oversight, regulations and *gasp* penalties instead… Yes it’s literally impossible to take a principled stance at the expense of literally any amount of profit. Besides, who needs clean air and livable temperatures anyway?
No it must be the consumer who must wade through the sea of greenwashing and propaganda spread by companies who have no problem outright lying about their carbon emissions to everyone’s faces. Because it’s just so easy for everyone to know the complete supply chain of every product they buy. Simple really.
Edit: After looking through your comment history I can’t help but think what you said was meant as more of a call to action for people rather than stepping to bat for multinationals as if they are helpless victims with no agency. Apologies if my comment came across as mean spirited I’ve just been on edge recently due to certain undisclosed life events. I’ll keep my base comment as is for archival though.
I award you one fake internet gold for this comment.
People should stop buying food?
If it is within their means to purchase food from more sustainable sources, yes, we should stop buying products from the worst polluters.
