Why is this directed toward America? I know it's "in" now to hate your own country but if you've ever been outside it you'd know most countries are just as bad or worse regarding using wasteful disposable stuff like that. At least America hasn't started using tons of plastic bottles for beer like they do for the cheap stuff over here.

Strudel Man posted:I'm not sure that sulfur emissions, specifically, are the area in which people are thinking they can make a difference. Doesn't matter, that was just an example. Even if everybody in America went carbon neutral, we are still just a small percentage of the overall system. Good luck getting China and India on board. There is absolutely nothing you can do to make a difference in the environment, not even if you are persuasive enough to get 100 million of your friends on board. Accept your impotence and embrace the fact you don't matter.... and just be happy, and make others happy. That's how you make a difference. Stop scolding. And if you just can't manage to crawl out of your own personal hole of despair, well, there's one good option for you, then. GORDON fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Jul 30, 2016 |

Yes, that's an option as well. But complaining that one individual can't personally slash whatever emissions in half seems a lot like complaining that your one vote won't decide who's president.

Shaquin posted:tree lives matter oddly enough the best possible thing for nature would be if you all stopped importing even your "good" silverware from china, which hasn't been silver or good for 100 years, and just use limbs from trees on your property when they blow down in a storm or when you need to trim them i carve spoons and it's a good honest life

I've got a couple boxes full of paper bags that I use for various purposes.
