Interesting. When the impact of individuals on the environment is discussed, a huge number of users here can't stress enough how the effort of the people doesn't matter and is irrelevant.

Stop eating meat and dairy, not buying plastic wrapped stuff, using public transport,... That's all of no use and no one should even dare to mention it since this is all just propaganda by big corporations.

Unless it's about home office. Suddenly there is great agreement that we have to do home office to save the climate! It almost seems like for a lot of people it's not so much about protecting the climate, but about not taking up responsibility when it's uncomfortable.

Corporations should be held responsible for the emissions caused by their employee's commuting.

This would really change the discussion about return to office.

Companies should be on the hook for all negative externalities. Make them internalities and watch how quick things change

Lol they spent decades doing the opposite, generating the vast majority of emissions with big manufacturing and big livestock, and then successfully shifting blame on poor peasants claiming the planet is heating because they're not sorting their recycling well enough.

Yes and also by telling us to buy expensive electric cars because the environment needs us to.

[–] Duxon@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

How about buying electric instead of combustion while trying to not buy a new car unless it's really necessary? That should reduce emissions, shouldn't it?

[–] DrunkenPirate@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

People who live in caves all the time cut emissions by 95%.

[–] DrunkenPirate@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is far better: People who live without social media all the time cut emissions by 66%.

People who eat more beans cut the cheese.
