It’s not like commoners have much control over those things. If the people in charge can’t make effective change, either by legislation, by businesses practices, or by example, why would anyone else. People look up to Swift and when they see her flying a private jet, they’re less inclined to do their part. And yes, that is a sentiment I’ve heard. I can put solar panels out, I can switch over to biofuels, I can eliminate vacations, casual travel, and combine as much errant driving as possible, but one private flight by one billionaire throws all that out the window.
Fuck there are people I’ve stopped talking to because they’re too old to figure out discord and I’m too young not to see the climate induced apocalypse.
