Yeah us normal civilians can make a miniscule difference by doing these things
But let's not act like the problem isn't billionaires like musk, swift, bezos etc and mega cooperations like nestle or even Boeing. They are the real problems. We will live to see the first trillionaire, yeah trillion. No one should have that much wealth. Eat the rich yo
We need information, math, data that distinguishes between:
A) tragedy of the commons--you doing it yourself won't make a difference, but everyone doing it will, so you doing it yourself makes a difference, and
B) the change is so minuscule that even if everybody in the world did it, it still wouldn't move the needle.
Everything in B should be replaced with "clobber billionaires and coporations and governments", but nothing from A gets misplaced in B.
I think its pretty obvious what "everyone" needs to do.
We all know that the corpos and governments are hellbent on apocalypse, we don't have to support them
"tragedy if the Commons" is a capitalist myth, just like consumer activism.
