You spill someone’s drink, you buy them another.

You break a window, you pay for it.

Let’s make that true for oil and gas corporations.

@praustrian @greenpeace It is not for consumers companies produce, but for profit for their shareholders. So if they do not have to take environmental costs into account they offer us only unsustainable products and we have no choice but to use them or go without. What's more we pay through taxes for the environmental costs the companies incurred.

@praustrian @greenpeace I'm not sure I agree, a lot of clothes end up in landfills never been worn. It's not because people needed those, but the business model that offers cheap clothes in bulk stimulates overconsumption even if the side effect is waste. You can argue that people buy those clothes, but that demand was created by those companies and it was possible because they didn't have to bear the cost of environmental effects.

@praustrian Again I do not agree unless your definition of the best for humanity is purely materialistic. Also I don't believe a pure free market can exist. It is a utopia. Companies tend to become bigger and become monopolies, unless the state intervenes. In both cases it's not a pure free market.

@greenpeace c'était pas la maxime de notre ancien 1er Ministre #GabrielAttal avec son "respect de l'ordre" à l'école xD ?

Faudrait déjà que les macroniste et tous les autres suivent leurs propres conseils avant de les donner aux autrees !

@greenpeace @trending_bot Wait a minute… if we made the polluters pay, it would no longer be profitable for them to be in business… oh.

How do they pay back the lives that have been lost due to climate change?

I'm from New Orleans. I lost some friends to Katrina. One drowned and two more committed suicide because they lost hope after losing everything.

How does BP pay that back?

@greenpeace We could add that if you destroy someone's city you build them another (Gaza)
