Consumer behavior is the wrong animal to fight when its these massive industries that are polluting the world, wasting our water, and things like cryptocurrencies that consume as much electricity as a nation of consumers. Unplug your chargers, stop eating meat, stop flying, and its not going to change much when factories are still polluting the air with fossil fuels and industrial agriculture is selecting the most profitable and water intensive crops they can because they aren't paying what they should for their water rights. I want significant change to happen and it means going after these signficant targets like industry and cryptocurrency and not me forgetting I left my phone charger plugged into the wall.
Got it, you take zero responsibility for your own behavior, it should remain unchanged and unchallenged, whilst you externalize blame to everything else.
Said unsustainable industry you despise so much is the very thing making your luxury goods so cheap.
Phone chargers waste more energy than the entire crypto industry, yet you're not outraged by it at all. You're not even willing to take the incredibly tiny action of unplugging them, for a better world.
Oh come on dude. Whats easier, what is even realistic, practically speaking: convincing the entire world to engage in a behavioral shift and hoping thats enough, or just taxing the heaviest polluters accordingly? There is a reason why politicians are looking into carbon taxes and not hiring gestapo to raid your home for unused chargers plugged into the walls.
