You only need industrial robots if you produce something. Since a majority of production is outsourced to Asia they have a much higher demand for robots.

I couldn’t agree more.

And I can only reiterate, with my initial comment I was not attacking you personally or trying to guilt you into doing something. I also don’t like when people do that. In fact, it wasn’t even that much about saving water in the shower. It is just this blocking attitude of: I don’t do it, others should start first without even thinking about it, that you can often read in these threads which bugged me at first.

By your comments you showed that you actually thought about it and came to the conclusion that the impact is little and there are more important topics you want to address, which is a totally fair point.

That is not the point I was trying to make. As I said, it is not the end of the world just because someone leaves the shower on for a few seconds longer than necessary and there are obviously way more important topics we need to address.

To be honest when I saw the question I haven’t thought about climate at all. I turn it off for as long as I can remember and was curious how others are doing it. But everytime something comes up that has to do with saving energy/ressources there are people saying: I don’t change because my personal impact doesn’t matter. To exaggerate my point one person changing one tiny thing of course doesn’t make a difference, but if 8 billion people change 10 tiny things it can have an impact. At some point we have to start making a change.

However, I totally get your point about the industry polluting our planet even though they knew better decades ago. And now everyone has to suffer from their mistakes or rather greed.

By that logic nobody has to do anything, because you can always find someone who has a higher impact that should start first.

• Why stop driving my petrol car, trucks or container ships have a much higher impact
• Why stop flying around the globe for no particular reason, Taylor Swift should stop
• Why should I start energy saving, cryptominers should stop

Don’t get me wrong, you leaving the shower on for 10s longer than necessary will not be the end of the world. It’s just this mentality of: I am pro climate change (policies) as long as I don’t have to change anything about my own life, that you can hear way to often.

“I don’t live in a swing state so my vote does not matter anyways”.

I am not a US citizen, that is just something I picked up from a random interview of a non-voter a while ago. I don’t know if that is a common opinion, but it made sense to me in explaining political disinterest.
