Please stop trotting out a six year old story in some weird attempt to say people bear no blame for the things they consume. Who do you think those companies are selling to?
My dude, the big question is what would have the biggest impact on slowing/stopping climate change. We are on a rapid decent and people recycling, using paper straws, or not buying SUVs sure as hell ain’t gonna do much. It will help, but it is like throwing a snowball at a wildfire. If we don’t deal with the biggest problem, the rate of climate damage will outpace the mitigation.

Why are you linking me to stuff about recycling and plastic straws that have little or nothing at all to do with carbon emissions or climate change?
Why is that your take away from that paragraph I typed out?
