According to this organization the earth's temperature will raise in 1 °C in 10 years... This is something that is always on the back of my mind, giving me anxiety.

Have you been consuming with responsibility? I confess I have not and the guilty is killing me. I have been trying to stop eating meat also but old habits are so fucking hard to break.

I know I come from a privileged place to say I fear the day we won't even have clean water but it's coming...

I eat chicken or fish everyday and I can't stop. So don't feel guilty.

The corporations know and they are preparing for the worse scenario by accumulating more and more resources for themselves. It is by design. It's the future they want.

Trying to make consumers responsible never worked and never will.

For instance, plastic pollution was already a problem in the 90s and lot of campaign for making consumers conscious was made while running the whole recycle scam scheme. What the result? More plastic production.

Same with lot of other environmental issues like fishery. Instead of conserving, we double down on fishing more even thou we knew it could lead to a marine ecosystem collapse. Fish farming is for the most part bullshit and worse for ecosystems.

I remember in the 90s articles speculating about if China consumed like Americans what it could mean to the environment. Well they aren't quite there on average, but we don't need to speculate no more. Now India and other highly populated nations wanna enjoy the same. Can we just deny them the same standards of consumption?

We are fighting climate crisis by making consumers buy more shit and polluting even more. The only real solution is redesigning economies based on consumerism and endless growth. However, elites will not have that and we peasants will fight ourselves over any political bullshit instead.

I’m extremely concerned especially in this country with our extreme temperatures and devastating disasters like fires.

whole recycle scam scheme

Few people address how much of a scam recycling is and thank you for bringing this here.

Big corps are the ones who might rethink their means of production. We, consumers, will do exactly what we've been doing forever, adapt to the system.

I am not a conscientious consumer, but I do try to make sure hazardous waste is disposed of properly.

Somehow, everyone's talking about climate. That's really weird for me
