    I stopped eating meat or flying planes completely. I have accepted that not flying limits my career opportunities. In my home, I electrified heating and cooking. I am saving for an EV but my current car is still doing fine. I hardly use my car, do my daily commute by bike. I go to protests against aviation, against fossil fuels and for the climate. I donate to climate causes. I teach my kids to consider the environment and climate in almost everything we do. I probably forget a lot of other small things, I am extremely climate conscious.

    But this is just me. It’s like voting. No individual is going to make any difference here. If loads of people do the same, maybe. The real resistance is about taxes, consumption, meat eating, flying. People must be forced to do more or it will only be more expensive later

      Do you have a smartphone? Do you use social media, cloud services, streaming services, A.I. services?

        What an ass argument.

        “Helping a starving orphan is pointles, because you are not helping every starving orphan”

        What the fuck

        I am willing to give all of that up, but you’re literally that “yet you participate in society” meme. This isn’t about me

        What are you getting at?

          I’m just saying, I know a hypocrite when I see one.

            You’re on lemmy right now, do you need a mirror or is your head already so far up your own ass you can see the hypocrite from the inside?
