    GenX been hammered this since we were kids ain’t nothing changing because we are all addicted to this course we are on including you and your generation.

    The sooner we all admit it’s our habits that have collectively caused this the sooner we solve it but we all know that shit isn’t gonna happen so here we are. I feel sorry for my kids and hope one day it gets bad enough that we all agree to change it.

      Do not blame private citizens for the actions taken by large corporations and governments agencies.

        There’s plenty of blame to go around.

        Private citizens are supporting shitty companies and electing shitty governments.

          When there are only two shitty options to choose from, picking the least shitty option doesn’t mean they were the ‘good’ one.

            issue is some countries and areas have viable affordable alternatives to planet destroying lifestyle habits, but people still chose to destroy the planet

      Sorry but no. Many understand and hate this path yet there is little choice when the alternati-e is homelessness, starvation and/or jail

      Can we acknowledge that most consumer habits are directly driven by the media and large corporations influencing people through news and advertising? Or that corporations have done their best to offload the responsibility for polluting the biosphere onto consumers, even as they knowingly peddled products that had direct damage to ecosystems and pushed habits that did nothing but make consumers feel better about the shitty products they consume (see plastic recycling).
