    We won’t stop burning fossil fuels until it’s illegal and militaries use force to destroy all extraction facilities, just like we won’t reduce our plastic consumption until it’s heavily restricted.

    I’ve believed that for 20 years, and I believe it now more than ever. We’re decades away from either being a foreseeable course of action.

      reduce our plastic consumption

      I’d love to actually, but most plastics get pushed on me in the form of packaging. I don’t need a six pack of beer all wrapped up in plastic. I don’t need bolts and nuts “conveniently” packaged per five.

      I’m absolutely with you. Stop pushing responsibility on individuals. If something is bad and I should avoid consuming things that use it, it shouldn’t be allowed to be produced in the first place.
