[โ] Vegetvs@feddit.org 3 points 1 year ago (3 children) why worry about the climate when there is nothing you can do about it. Nothing you can do about it?! Climate change must be the single issue where everyone can do something about it! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [โ] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago permalink fedilink source parent [โ] lordnikon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago While I was agree the problem is like the recycling paradox the industry told you to recycle. While they did nothing so you would blame your neighbor instead of them. That's why most recycling is ether landfill anyway or shipped to a poor country. Nothing in recycling is standard and no body that has power cares. The point was to blame yourself or your neighbors but not them cause look they created a recycling program. You must have just not sorted your paper and plastic enough. You could reduced every carbon including breathing your whole life and not offset 10 mins of carbon output of any of the fortune 100. Everyone should do what they can but I think it should be prepositional to the amount your choices add carbon or plastic to the environment. So with that said people with homeless and food on their mind don't be a dick and litter but the rest you get a pass. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago If you can barely afford to live you cannot really do anything outside trying to survive sadly. permalink fedilink source parent
