YOU are the carbon they want to reduce
If you're worried, just plant more trees!
All plastic will eventually break down into microplastics. We need to stop buying into cheap products and give our children a better future.
There is no cleaner form of travel than walking.
100 years ago people walked about 10 miles a day. Today you can barely get an American to walk 1.
Gas powered cars are NOT clean, but battery powered cars are not a cleaner alternative. The batteries don’t last as long, are not recyclable or as easily reused for parts as gas engine batteries, and they are charged using mostly coal power. These are all factors that will not reduce pollution but shift it.
Also, these mines are horrid, and guess who works in them? Black slaves in Africa procured by China. Yes, the slave trade is alive and well outside of the U.S. Not the metaphorical one people talk about when mentioning “wage slaves” but actual bondage-rip you away from your home and your family-you have no right to anything, slavery.
If you want to do something good for the planet, and humanity, walk more. If I’m going somewhere within 3-6 miles of my house, I usually walk it with my 4 children. It’s great exercise for the able bodied. If you have a handicapped loved one, friend, or neighbor, offer to push their wheelchair or run errands for them.
We can do more than just follow “political solutions” which are, most often, not solutions at all.
