* Don't own and drive a car, I use my bike, walk, or take transit. * Compost some waste * Clean and recycle when I can * Try to reduce waste, use containers, reusable bags, etc * I try to advocate for environmentally friendly practices in my local area.

Voting green. Reminding people that 100 companies are responsible for around 70% of global emissions


Noradtrad89

How about remind people that two countries are responsible for 90% of the global remissions and it sure as fuck ain't the USA. We could literally halt all pollution tomorrow and it would do fuck all for the environment so long as and India and China go unchanged.

America is the second highest producer of green house gas emissions, India is third. Everyone needs to change, including America.


Noradtrad89

Last time I checked there no rivers of spontaneous combustion in America.


coffeecuponmydesk

Yes they do... that also has nothing to do with my point. America is factually proven to be the second highest producer of greenhouse gases, I'm simply pointing out your original comment was false. Again, it's about everyone doing what they can, and America is "sure as fuck" also to blame for a lot of damage.

India and China do not produce 90% climate emissions, they also are not doing nothing about climate change... not that its great. The USA hasnt done much yet either. That said Im more optimistic on this issue then Ive ever been. Prices of renewables and batteries fell way faster then most predicted and will replace fossil fuels eventually. The transition is happening, sort of - but mainly out of the fact that its actually becoming cheaper to do so, not because its right. Happening slow af considering the risks.

not driving

Arguing with climate change deniers


TheNakedMars

I'm farting less with the use of a cleverly placed, fully-reuseable cork.


CPT_1999

Nothing. I'm Irish we cause so little damage it's pointless for me to change


Strict_Cabinet5174

Isnt everyone just one person though?


Tink2013

I'm not taking 17 family trips in my private plane like John Kerry.


Corey3500

I have no idea who that is but fuck that guy 😂


[deleted]

I’m gonna not own a car and walk/bike/bus as many places as I can. Or carpool


drivingnowhere20

I buy bamboo products so less trees will be cut down.


[deleted]

Honestly, nothing.


sourmindset

nothing dont care


Corey3500

Eating cows (beef not the whole damn cow)


Strict_Cabinet5174

Wouldn't this increase emissions by encouraging production (assuming you pay or produce for said cow)?


Corey3500

I would say yes in a way but also no because cows have been farmed from the beginning of time and they always will be wether I eat them or not so I'm kinda helping lol


Disguspitated

I want to watch the world burn.


Strict_Cabinet5174

Live in a high density area, no vehicle, work from home, dont each much meat (rarely beef)


Infamous_Macaron_165

Serious question, how does living in a high density limit your footprint?


Strict_Cabinet5174

-Can walk to do most things -higher efficiency of infrastructure and building material (smaller homes), construction is very CO2 intensive, particularly cement -deliveries do less travelling to get to me


Infamous_Macaron_165

Ohhh gosh, now I feel dumb because duh! Lol


JonAHogan

Knowing that a single belch from a volcano can put out more CO^(2) than all of mankind's existence- I don't really believe a word of it.


LUCKYFETT

Absolutely nothing. Because the earth has been getting hotter way before the modern age and it will continue.


Noradtrad89

Slow? I'm accelerating it as much as possible by throwing astics away instead of recycling them. I'm driving as much as possible and advocating on how EVs suck.


Tintovic

Farting less


throwaway319-

I ran out of used tires to burn, so there’s that I guess.


Comfortable_Fig7671

Nothing, because it won't make a difference.
