If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌🙌 🙌
Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. But, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.
Corporations are not ‘worse’.
They are the bulk of the problem.
They will do absolutely nothing about that since they can’t be touched for the holy profits of consumerism and the fanatic fixation on continuous growth of capitalism.
I refuse out of principle and I feel zero guilt. Those fingerpointers can fuck off.
They tax us suckers anyway for all the bad bad things we do to live.
And that money they can give to corporations or buy more carbon credits to polute more.
You can feel better and it may be good for your conscience but it’s like you’re un a bus driving down a cliff and your contribution is putting your foot on the road to slow it down.

F150 right. Ridiculous exaggerations.
Let’s see how you do buying nothing from corporations.
Really you need a job at BP or some chemical multinational.
You’re already doing their work.
