The cross posting from tumblr begins now.
The infographic over there has a whole bunch more pages but I don't feel like posting all of them, here's the link if you want to look at it in full. https://www.tumblr.com/bellybuttonblue2/726484348216459264
I am resigned to a future on fire.
One of my dearest friends responded to this with "yeah but we should all do our best to still minimize our footprint" and I can't square my opinion of them as a rational person with this statement.

And that's just one company. I only added the images for the oil companies (having issues getting formatting right on here) but Amazon, Apple, Shein, Coca-Cola, are all way up there.
Friends of mine have worked at Starbucks and can attest to going through dozens of gallons of milk a day at a single store. If recycling is easy and set up, they'll do it. If not? That's one store. As of 2023 there are over 35k Starbucks worldwide. And that's just one company.
As long as companies get to dump oil in the oceans and get a slap on the wrist, as long as the rich in their private jets get to dump more CO2 into the atmosphere in an hour than I could in a year, I'm going to get pissed about anyone preaching personal responsibility around climate change.
This only even came up because we were discussing a different post about people with chronic illnesses and disabilities feeling terrible about using disposable silverware and such and not always recycling.
