“Take a 5min shower” when the general public consumes at most 12% of the water table.

The two don’t have to exist in conflict. We can minimize plastic use while also changing industry.

Meanwhile these people saying don’t worry about ur plastic straws isn’t doing a single thing to change industries. He’s basically saying do nothing. Btw if you see a Dead Sea turtle with a straw stuck in his nose you understand individual impact more.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. it's not to say we stop doing what we can individually, by all means I know will continue to do so. but the real density of damage is being done at the industrial level.

Rare L for Honnold. Its about the mindset that comes along with being conscious of your personal impact. with a society focused on this, it forces pressure on industry to change amd adapt.

We change industry by changing consumer behavior so it has to be both side. Granted, straws aren’t changing anything. It’s more that mindsets can be changed by the consumer, starting with small things and growing to the larger.

I think there’s a difference between shaming and encouraging a communal care for the environment. Adopting a mentality of all of us doing our fair share will create more people with those values who will press industry and government to prioritize those things as well.

I get what he’s saying and there’s some truth regarding the weight of blame on people in our lives but systematic/industry changes are heavily reliant on individual or consumer behavior. Industries pivot significantly when changes to consumption are recorded.

The real question is how do we make clean energy so affordable that 3rd world countries like India adopt the technology. Until that happens I’m using plastic straws lol

Mustelid Maniac :
While I agree that we should hold coorporations liable, we also need to take responsibility in our own lives when we can. For me that means significantly reducing meat consumption as it is the single largest source of land use and has massive climate impacts.

companies pushed the responsibilities of pollution onto us and we made it a way to shame others

This is a crystal clear example of worrying about the actual problem instead of looking good. If you disagree you’re fooling yourself about a lot of things.

I understand the argument but we all have a responsibility as individuals. Plastic straws are also a bad example because they are literally only used by individuals. Billions of individuals lol
