It’s not that I don’t pay attention or try to conserve energy, but I’m so powerless to affect real change. It kills me to be raising children in this world.

Try out meat free Mondays.

They’ll stop factory farming so much if less people buy meat.

Nah, they’ll just start a new anti-vegan anti-vegetarian campaign and everyone will eat it up.

Okay but you can control your own actions. Don’t you want to be better than all the sheeple? Or do you want to be bad because they’re just as bad?

It’s more that “meat free Monday” will do nothing whatsoever, the problem is pollution from large corporations

So you’re saying demand for meat will fall by exactly 0%? The local grocery store will have exactly the same number of people buying the same amount of meat?

Consumer demand does not, in fact, make a dent on emissions. Corporations buying from each other is what does.

Consumer demand never makes a dent on emissions? So if everyone in your city became a vegan overnight, the grocery store would keep on buying the same amount of meat and letting it rot on the shelves?

Wow, I should start selling bridges to grocery store managers

One, that’s not a realistic scenario. Two, companies make more money by selling to other companies, not us. This whole thing of blaming the regular people for excess waste and pollution was a ploy by companies to get away with it.

During the pandemic, even tho nobody was using their cars, the amount of pollution from fossil fuels didn’t change at all. It was statistically insignificant.
