You can also do you, but you kind of lose any sort of moral high ground in this argument by insisting that others solve the problem for you when you can't even do the bare fucking minimum

    So... I go to work by e-bike 8 out of 12 months. Whenever I take my car, I take my BEV (MG4) that I charge with electricity from renewable sources.

    And you? What do you actually do for the environment?

    If you want to play the upstreaming game, where did the rare earth metals in your electric car come from?

    Electric cars are here to save the car industry, not the environment.

    Let's stay on topic: Environment. Human rights is a whole nother can of worms. What do you think the supply chain of whatever device you are using for lemmee right now looks like?

    Back to environment: What are you doing for the environment except for judging others: I drive a car that has a very low carbon footprint regarding its whole lifespan. Also I ride to work on an E-Bike 8 out of 12 months. What are you doing?
