⬇️ This is a fact. ⬇️

It’s not a meme. It’s not an opinion. It’s a fact — a fact I wish everyone could accept, take to heart, and use to motivate action!!

@breadandcircuses @steve Meat heavy diets have a much larger footprint than plant based, regardless of the profits being made.

@erispoe @breadandcircuses @steve veganism is definitely a more eco-friendly diet, and if you enjoy it, do it. But it would be much more impactful to stop the massive corporations dumping pollution constantly. That said solving the climate crisis is a “yes and” more than a “either or”

@clayrosenthal i think there are a lot of things WE can do as citizens of the world, but all the recycling, going vegan, using less fossil fuel energy, in the world won’t fix the problem until we stop corporations from raping, pillaging and dumping toxic waste all over the earth.

@johnettesnuggs yes! I think these behaviours are great practices, especially once we stop the companies we’d want to keep doing those things, and or adjust to new behaviours even more sustainably based. I think I’ve come to the opinion plastic recycling is bullshit, we should be recycling metals, reusing glass, and anything else should be compostable if it’s going to be single use

@clayrosenthal I agree with the recycling plastics being useless. I have a feeling they are just being dumped in landfills anyways. We have very limited uses for recycling plastics. I really wish we could go back to glass instead of plastic for jars and bottles. It is so much easier to recycle glass and metal. We can thank Coca-cola/Pepsi for that one.

@johnettesnuggs the least Coca Cola could do is put the coke back in

@johnettesnuggs @clayrosenthal Also worth mentioning that they want us to argue about who personally is doing more to protect the climate or not doing enough — because that's what they think will make us not address the root cause.

@bnlandor @clayrosenthal absolutely. As long as we are arguing amongst ourselves the real culprits can keep on doing what they are doing. All the divisive distractions are great for the corporate overlords. They guarantee we will never work together.
