    this is only true if you believe the myth that you’re responsible for your"carbon footprint" instead of the people who are actually making the emissions.

      Just because one is paying someone to create emissions does not make them responsible because someone else did it?

          ah, they use their private money to burn oil in their backyard. alright.

          the animal industry would just keep breeding and abusing animals despite no one buying their stuff. OK.

            you don’t seem to understand how linear time works. polluters pollute before anyone buys their product. whether anyone buys the product or not, the pollution has already happened.

              Ah, the “the damage is already done” argument. Has anyone told you that you pay for the next victim of the industry? Buying the product supports the industry and keeps it alive.

              Maybe you have no concept of future.
