That’s the opposite of what you were accusing corporations of doing.
That’s the opposite of what you were accusing corporations of doing.
some years later, once corporations had more solid control of legislatures and were no longer afraid of legislation, they started using the carbon footprint idea in reverse as propaganda - they claimed individual responsibility was a myth, only legal action against corporations will help with climate change, so eat whatever you want and buy all the gas you want and buy all the corporate products you want, and don’t feel guilty about it, because it doesn’t matter.

no, it’s not.
it would be if it caused the industry to pollute less or even just stop growing. it doesn’t.
it’s better than “threadiverse” which at once includes the name of a Facebook product and seems to also give Facebook all the credit for mastodon, Lemmy, pixelfed, peer tube be etc, while also making them appear to be second class citizens.
but I am not endorsing this “social web” thing yet, either.
why is your “update” over a decade old? how often are they released?
ignoring corruption is gross. trying to distract from it with a whataboutism Is some degree worse
this is not evidence that people cannot be helped without banks
this, too, is not evidence.
this is not evidence, it’s handwaving.
And banks have been instrumental in one of the largest rises in human living standards in history so dismantling them seems pretty cruel to those who don’t yet live as well as we do.
i don’t see any reason we can’t help people without banks.
whining about billionaires online
is just as effective. if you want to change things that are wrong, you need to go to where they are and stop them.
we need to eat. lets dismantle the fucking prisons, banks, and armies first.
Way easier to rail about billionaires online and feel snugly superior rather than actually doing the work.
did you try abstaining from beef? the meat industry grows every year. did you try abstaining from smartphones? sweatshops? air travel? your decisions made no difference.
farming is one of the biggest contributors
all of agriculture makes up about 20% of our ghg emissions.
You don’t have to be a rabid vegan to make an impact.

the fact is that the industry continues to grow.
this is warmed-over poore-nemecek 2018. that’s the primary basis for the claims about the climate, but the methodology of that study is fucked, and it’s a disservice to actual climate science to keep touting this meta"study" that misuses its source material and myopically focuses on distilling data instead of understanding the complexity of our agricultural systems. the textile industry’s water use, land use, and emissions, i guarantee, are being counted in poore-nemecek as emissions from beef. i didn’t pull out the data from the separate reference to water use, but i will eat my hat if that doesn’t, as well.
eating less beef has not been effective at stopping the growth of the beef industry for all the people who have done so. we need a real solution, and trying to influence individual consumer choice isn’t working.
stop wasting both of our time.
you’re free to not respond at any time.
Approximately 0.01% of lemmy’s user base would conflate simple “use” with exploitation.
can you substantiate this?
that has never happened.
