As I said to a college professor when he was pointing out how the “Reduce” in “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” is often ignored or at best whispered, reducing our consumption isn’t profitable.
It’s not just profitable, it also requires most people in the west (probably 99% of people here) to realize there understanding of what a “basic level of quality of life” is is completely scewed by our immense privilege. Globally speaking, we are all part of the top 10% destroying the planet the most. From memory, a single american going vegan can make up for a families worth of emissions in a poorer country.
There’s no amount of rich people we can eat or corporations we can destroy that will allow us to just live like we are at the moment. Nowhere close.
