If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌 🙌
Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. Also, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.
You forgot number one: By far, the best thing you can do for the climate is not have children.
Increasing the bag limit on “billionaire” to something greater than “0” would have a much more appreciable effect on the climate than a thousand families forgoing children.
I am so confused by this comment.
What’s a bag limit? Why would you apply it to the word “billionaire”, and why would increasing the limit help the climate?
Are you saying billionaires should use less bags? Because I doubt that would help more than having 1000+ less humans on this planet.

Thanks. Never heard that term before so I thought you were talking about plastic bags and worded it weird as fuck lol.
Literally the opposite, more people -> faster growth -> new technology that saves people (as it happened past many times in the past already)
this is about protecting the climate, not protecting people
